Athlete Program

VEXA Athlete Program Terms

Last Updated: September 15, 2026

These VEXA Athlete Program Terms govern participation in the VEXA Athlete Program operated by VEXA Apparel LLC (“VEXA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

The VEXA Athlete Program is a selective brand partnership program for athletes, creators, ambassadors, and affiliates who represent VEXA and contribute to the growth of the brand.

Participation is not simply access to a discount code, commission opportunity, free product, or athlete title. VEXA athletes are expected to remain active, communicative, reliable, and supportive of the brand.

By applying to, joining, accepting these Terms, receiving a referral link or discount code, accepting promotional product, accepting a campaign, creating content for VEXA, or otherwise participating in the VEXA Athlete Program, you agree to these Terms.

If these Terms are provided through an online application, dashboard, digital form, signature platform, or similar system, acceptance becomes effective when you click, check, sign, submit, or otherwise confirm agreement.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not participate in the VEXA Athlete Program.

1. Program Purpose and Standard

The VEXA Athlete Program exists to build a serious network of athletes and creators who genuinely support VEXA, its products, its community, and its long-term direction.

Being selected as a VEXA Athlete is a privilege and does not create a permanent entitlement to athlete status.

Athlete status must be maintained through continued participation, professionalism, communication, campaign reliability, and reasonable contribution to VEXA.

VEXA may consider an athlete’s:

Content quality.
Content consistency.
Communication.
Responsiveness.
Campaign participation.
Campaign completion.
Sales performance.
Community participation.
Reliability.
Professionalism.
Audience alignment.
Brand alignment.
Overall contribution to VEXA.

VEXA does not expect athletes to treat VEXA as a full-time job or prioritize VEXA over legitimate medical, family, school, career, or employment responsibilities.

VEXA does expect athletes who choose to participate in the program to treat their commitments seriously.

2. Independent Relationship

Athletes participate as independent creators, affiliates, ambassadors, or independent contractors as applicable.

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment relationship, partnership, joint venture, franchise, agency relationship, or legal representative relationship between VEXA and the athlete.

Athletes generally control how they create and produce content, subject to these Terms, applicable law, platform rules, and accepted campaign requirements.

Athletes are not authorized to:

Bind VEXA to contracts.
Make promises on behalf of VEXA.
Represent themselves as employees of VEXA.
Represent themselves as owners of VEXA.
Speak as official VEXA representatives unless specifically authorized.

3. Eligibility

Participation is subject to VEXA approval.

The Athlete Program may be available internationally depending on shipping availability, payment availability, legal requirements, tax requirements, platform availability, and VEXA’s business needs.

Athletes must provide accurate:

Identity information.
Contact information.
Shipping information.
Payment information.
Tax information when required.
Other information reasonably required for administration of the program.

Athletes under 18 may participate only with approval from a parent or legal guardian.

If an athlete is under 18, the athlete’s parent or legal guardian must review, approve, and separately accept these Terms.

VEXA may decline, suspend, or remove participation when the athlete relationship creates material legal, compliance, tax, payment, shipping, safety, operational, or reputational concerns.

4. Active Participation Requirement

VEXA Athlete status is intended for people who actively participate in and support the brand.

Active participation may include:

Creating VEXA content.
Participating in campaigns.
Promoting launches.
Using referral links or athlete codes.
Engaging with the VEXA community.
Participating in athlete communications.
Attending athlete calls.
Responding to campaign communications.
Providing requested campaign information.
Supporting launches and brand initiatives.
Providing useful feedback or creative contributions.

There is no automatic fixed monthly posting quota unless VEXA establishes one in writing.

However, prolonged inactivity, repeated failure to participate, repeated lack of communication, or an extended pattern showing that an athlete is no longer meaningfully supporting VEXA may result in athlete status being reviewed, restricted, paused, placed on probation, or terminated.

An athlete may not remain indefinitely in the Athlete Program solely to retain:

A discount code.
Affiliate commission.
Athlete status.
Free product.
PR opportunities.
Early access.
Other athlete benefits.

while providing little or no meaningful contribution to VEXA.

5. Athlete Group Chat and Communication

VEXA may maintain an official athlete group chat or other designated communication channel.

Athletes are expected to remain in the designated athlete communication channel during active participation unless VEXA approves another arrangement.

Athletes are required to make a reasonable effort to remain active and informed.

Athletes are responsible for staying reasonably up to date on:

Campaign information.
Launch updates.
Deadlines.
Product information.
Athlete announcements.
Meeting notices.
Pinned messages.
Important instructions.
Other material communications.

Athletes should not expect VEXA to individually repeat information that has already been clearly communicated to the athlete group.

Athletes are expected to reasonably respond to direct messages concerning:

Campaigns.
Content.
Products.
Deadlines.
Shipping.
Compliance.
Athlete status.
Launches.
Other material program matters.

VEXA does not require athletes to respond immediately or remain available at all hours.

During an active campaign, however, athletes are expected to monitor campaign communications more closely and respond to time-sensitive messages as soon as reasonably practical.

Repeatedly ignoring important communications or becoming unreachable during campaigns may affect athlete standing.

6. Athlete Calls

VEXA may schedule athlete calls relating to:

Campaign planning.
Product education.
Creative direction.
Launch preparation.
Athlete development.
Brand updates.
Program announcements.
Feedback.
Other legitimate VEXA purposes.

Athletes are expected to attend scheduled athlete calls when reasonable notice is provided.

An athlete may be excused where attendance is prevented by:

Medical issues.
Career or employment obligations.
School obligations.
Family emergencies.
Unavoidable travel.
Significant time-zone conflicts.
Other reasonable circumstances accepted by VEXA.

When reasonably possible, the athlete should notify VEXA in advance if they cannot attend.

An occasional legitimate absence will not jeopardize athlete status.

Repeated unexplained absences or an ongoing unwillingness to participate in important athlete meetings may be considered during athlete performance review.

7. Commission

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, athletes earn a 10% commission on valid sales generated through their approved VEXA referral link or discount code.

Commission is calculated on net product sales after applicable discounts.

Commission generally does not include:

Shipping.
Taxes.
Duties.
Import fees.
Brokerage fees.
Returned amounts.
Refunded amounts.
Canceled orders.
Chargebacks.
Gift cards.
Store credit.
Payment-processing fees.
Other non-product charges.

VEXA may establish different commission rates, bonuses, incentives, product opportunities, or campaign arrangements for particular athletes.

VEXA may reward athletes based on:

Sales performance.
Content performance.
Reliability.
Campaign participation.
Community contribution.
Content quality.
Other legitimate performance factors.

Commission-rate changes apply prospectively unless otherwise agreed.

Previously earned commission on valid sales will not be reduced solely because a future commission rate changes.

8. Valid Sales and Affiliate Integrity

A valid sale is a completed order properly attributable to the athlete through VEXA’s affiliate system, discount-code system, Shopify records, payment records, or other reasonable internal records.

Commission is not earned on:

Refunded orders.
Returned orders.
Canceled orders.
Chargebacks.
Fraudulent transactions.
Fake orders.
Test orders.
Artificially generated transactions.
Tracking manipulation.
Duplicate transactions.
Other invalid transactions.

Athletes may not purchase using their own code or referral link for the purpose of artificially generating commission.

Athletes may not organize purchases through friends, family members, alternate accounts, or third parties for the purpose of falsely increasing commission or performance statistics.

Athletes may not intentionally intercept, overwrite, manipulate, or falsely claim another athlete’s referral attribution.

If commission has already been paid on a transaction later determined to be invalid, VEXA may reverse the affected commission and offset it against future payouts.

VEXA’s records will control absent a clear tracking or administrative error.

Athletes should report suspected tracking errors within 30 days.

9. Payouts and Tax Onboarding

Commission becomes eligible for payout 30 days after the applicable order date provided the order remains valid and all payout requirements have been satisfied.

The standard minimum payout threshold is $100 unless VEXA agrees otherwise in writing.

Balances under the payout threshold will continue accumulating.

Tax documentation is a condition of payout eligibility.

Before VEXA processes a payout, the athlete must provide any tax, identity, and payment documentation reasonably required by VEXA for lawful tax reporting and payment administration.

U.S. Athletes

U.S. athletes may be required to provide VEXA with a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or equivalent taxpayer-identification documentation before receiving payment.

Non-U.S. Athletes

Non-U.S. athletes may be required to provide the applicable IRS Form W-8, including Form W-8BEN when appropriate, or other documentation reasonably required to establish foreign tax status.

VEXA may delay or pause payout until required tax documentation has been completed and received.

Commission that has otherwise been validly earned will remain credited to the athlete while payout is paused and will not be forfeited solely because required tax documentation has not yet been submitted.

If an athlete fails to provide a required taxpayer-identification number or provides incomplete or incorrect tax information, VEXA may apply backup withholding, tax withholding, or other reporting procedures when required by applicable law.

Once an eligible payout request is approved and required documentation is complete, VEXA will make reasonable efforts to issue payment within seven business days.

Athletes are responsible for maintaining accurate payment and tax information.

Athletes must reasonably notify VEXA if their:

Legal name changes.
Address changes.
Tax residence changes.
Tax classification changes.
Taxpayer identification information changes.
Payment information changes.

VEXA is not responsible for failed, delayed, rejected, or misdirected payments caused by inaccurate information supplied by the athlete.

10. Promotional Product and PR

VEXA may provide athletes with free products or products at a promotional discount.

Promotional product may be supplied for:

Content creation.
Campaigns.
Launch support.
Photography.
Product testing.
Community promotion.
Athlete use.
Other legitimate VEXA marketing purposes.

Free product is not an unconditional entitlement of athlete membership.

VEXA may determine product allocations based on:

Athlete participation.
Content quality.
Campaign reliability.
Sales performance.
Audience fit.
Inventory.
Shipping costs.
Launch needs.
Prior performance.
Other legitimate business considerations.

Receiving product from one launch does not guarantee product from future launches.

11. Promotional Product Resale, Giveaway, and Transfer

Product supplied:

Free of charge.
At a special promotional rate.
For a campaign.
For content creation.
As PR.
As a sample.
Specifically because of Athlete Program participation.

is considered promotional product.

Athletes may not, without VEXA’s prior written approval:

Sell promotional product.
Resell promotional product.
List promotional product for sale.
Trade promotional product.
Raffle promotional product.
Give promotional product away.
Donate promotional product.
Transfer promotional product.
Otherwise distribute promotional product to another person.

This includes unauthorized distribution through:

Depop.
Grailed.
eBay.
Facebook Marketplace.
Social media.
Private sales.
Giveaways.
Contests.
Friends or family.
Other creators.
Other third parties.

This restriction generally does not apply to products the athlete purchased through an ordinary retail transaction using their own money unless another written restriction applies.

Unauthorized resale or distribution may be treated as a material violation because it may interfere with:

Brand positioning.
Marketing attribution.
Inventory strategy.
Campaign planning.
Product distribution.
Brand value.

Athletes may personally retain and use promotional products after completing applicable campaign obligations.

12. PR Gifting

Athletes may not independently gift VEXA promotional product to another creator for PR purposes without VEXA’s prior written approval.

PR gifting must:

Be discussed with VEXA beforehand.
Receive approval from VEXA’s founder or another person specifically authorized by VEXA.
Be directed to a recipient approved by VEXA.
Have a legitimate content-creation, marketing, or promotional purpose.
Follow any campaign instructions supplied by VEXA.

VEXA may request information regarding:

The recipient.
Their social platform.
Their audience.
The product being gifted.
Intended content.
Campaign purpose.
Expected marketing value.

Approval for one PR gift does not create approval for future gifting.

Promotional product approved for PR gifting may not be diverted to personal resale, unrelated gifting, or giveaways.

13. Campaigns and Campaign Acceptance

VEXA may invite athletes to participate in individual campaigns.

Campaigns may involve:

Product launches.
Restocks.
New colorways.
Collection launches.
Product education.
Sales periods.
Creative campaigns.
Athlete shoots.
Advertisements.
Community initiatives.
Other marketing activity.

Campaign requirements may be communicated through:

Campaign briefs.
Direct messages.
Email.
Athlete dashboards.
Shared documents.
Athlete group chats.
Other written communication.

Campaign requirements may include:

Number of videos.
Number of posts.
Number of Stories.
Required platforms.
Required formats.
Posting dates.
Posting windows.
Launch times.
Embargoes.
Required product coverage.
Required tags.
Required caption elements.
Affiliate links.
Athlete codes.
Required disclosures.
Talking points.
Calls to action.
Content specifications.
Deadlines.
Content submission.
Analytics reporting.
Campaign-specific competitor restrictions.
Minimum live periods.
Other reasonable campaign deliverables.

An athlete is not automatically required to participate in every campaign.

However, once an athlete:

Confirms campaign participation.
Accepts campaign-specific product.
Accepts compensation for a campaign.
Explicitly agrees to campaign deliverables.

the accepted campaign requirements become part of the athlete’s obligations under these Terms.

Athletes should not accept campaign participation if they know they cannot reasonably complete the requirements.

14. Mandatory Campaign Deliverables

When an athlete accepts a campaign with stated deliverables, those deliverables are required.

If a campaign requires three videos, the athlete is expected to create and publish three qualifying videos.

If a campaign requires specific:

Stories.
Tags.
Captions.
Links.
Codes.
Platforms.
Posting windows.
Calls to action.

the athlete is expected to materially complete those requirements.

Publishing intentionally incomplete, inaccessible, hidden, immediately deleted, or clearly token content designed only to technically satisfy a requirement may be treated as failure to complete the campaign.

VEXA may reasonably require correction of content that materially fails to follow an accepted campaign brief.

VEXA will attempt to provide reasonable instructions and deadlines.

Legitimate circumstances including:

Illness.
Injury.
Family emergency.
Work obligations.
School obligations.
Platform outages.
Other unavoidable events.

will be reasonably considered.

The athlete must communicate as soon as reasonably practical when circumstances prevent completion.

VEXA does not require athletes to:

Make statements they do not believe.
Create fake reviews.
Make deceptive claims.
Misrepresent their product experience.

15. Campaign Communication and Responsiveness

During active campaigns, athletes are expected to be particularly responsive.

Athletes must make a reasonable effort to monitor campaign-related:

Direct messages.
Group chats.
Email.
Other designated communication methods.

Athletes are expected to respond promptly to reasonable VEXA requests concerning:

Posting.
Campaign execution.
Deadlines.
Launch timing.
Product information.
Content corrections.
Content submission.
Compliance.

Athletes must reasonably comply with campaign direction falling within the campaign requirements they accepted.

Repeatedly ignoring campaign communications, disappearing during a campaign without explanation, or refusing accepted campaign direction may constitute campaign nonperformance.

16. Tagging and Attribution Requirements

When content is created as part of an accepted VEXA campaign, athletes must follow the applicable tagging and attribution requirements.

Where technically available and required by the campaign, athletes may be required to:

Tag VEXA’s official account.
Mention VEXA in the caption.
Include their athlete code.
Include their referral link.
Use campaign hashtags.
Include required advertising disclosures.
Use collaboration or paid-partnership tools.
Direct viewers to an approved VEXA destination.

If VEXA specifically requires the VEXA account to be tagged or named in the caption, that requirement must be followed.

Required tags, links, disclosures, and attribution may not intentionally be hidden or made difficult to find.

17. Content Live Period

Unless a campaign specifies otherwise, permanent campaign content such as:

TikTok videos.
Instagram Reels.
Feed posts.
YouTube videos.

should remain publicly available for at least 60 days.

Temporary content such as Stories should remain available for its normal platform duration.

Athletes may contact VEXA where there is a legitimate reason for early removal.

Nothing prevents removal when continued publication creates a legitimate:

Legal issue.
Safety issue.
Privacy issue.
Harassment issue.
Platform-compliance issue.
Similar serious concern.

Removal from the athlete’s account does not terminate VEXA’s previously granted content rights.

18. Content Quality and Standards

Athletes retain reasonable creative freedom unless the applicable campaign requires specific creative direction.

VEXA values content reflecting the athlete’s real:

Personality.
Experience.
Opinions.
Audience.

Campaign content must materially comply with accepted requirements.

VEXA may consider whether content:

Clearly features the required product.
Is reasonably viewable.
Meets the intended campaign objective.
Includes required tagging.
Includes required disclosure.
Meets agreed timing.
Avoids misleading statements.
Meets reasonable quality expectations.

Repeated low-effort campaign participation may result in:

Reduced product allocations.
Reduced campaign priority.
Probation.
Suspension.
Removal.

19. Campaign Analytics

Athletes participating in campaigns agree to provide reasonable campaign-performance information when requested and available.

This may include:

Views.
Reach.
Impressions.
Engagement.
Link clicks.
Watch time.
Story analytics.
Profile activity.
Audience information.
Conversions.
Other relevant campaign metrics.

VEXA may use this information for:

Campaign analysis.
Creative strategy.
Product allocation.
Athlete evaluation.
Marketing planning.
Future campaign decisions.

Athletes are not required to provide passwords or unrelated private account information.

20. Athlete Evaluation and Probation

VEXA may periodically evaluate athletes based on:

Communication.
Reliability.
Campaign completion.
Content quality.
Posting consistency.
Group-chat participation.
Call attendance.
Responsiveness.
Sales performance.
Community contribution.
Audience alignment.
Professionalism.
Brand alignment.
Campaign performance.

VEXA may place an athlete on an evaluation or probation period when improvement is needed.

Probation may include:

Reduced PR access.
Reduced campaign opportunities.
Specific activity expectations.
Increased communication requirements.
Temporary product restrictions.
Other reasonable corrective expectations.

The purpose of probation is generally to provide an opportunity to improve rather than automatically end the relationship.

21. Performance-Based Opportunities

Athlete benefits are discretionary unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Different athletes may receive different:

Commission rates.
Product allocations.
Early access.
Campaign opportunities.
Paid opportunities.
Bonuses.
Travel opportunities.
Photoshoots.
Gifts.
Athlete tiers.
Recognition.
Other benefits.

Differences may be based on:

Performance.
Contribution.
Seniority.
Campaign needs.
Audience fit.
Reliability.
Geography.
Inventory.
Marketing needs.
Costs.

Participation does not guarantee identical benefits among athletes.

22. Launches, Embargoes, and Unreleased Products

Athletes may receive non-public information including:

Samples.
Unreleased products.
Launch dates.
Photography.
Videos.
Passwords.
Private links.
Pricing.
Inventory information.
Campaign plans.
Product specifications.
Creative materials.

Athletes may not release non-public information before VEXA authorizes disclosure.

Athletes must comply with announced embargo dates and times.

Unauthorized publication of unreleased products or material campaign information may result in immediate campaign or Athlete Program action.

23. Competitor Promotion

The VEXA Athlete Program is not a general noncompete agreement.

Unless separately agreed, athletes may work with and promote other brands.

Athletes may not:

Use VEXA confidential information to benefit competitors.
Use VEXA campaign materials to promote another brand.
Use VEXA content to promote another brand.
Use VEXA athlete status to redirect customers to competitors.
Create false impressions that VEXA endorses another company.
Create material customer confusion between VEXA and competitors.

VEXA may establish limited campaign-specific conflict periods.

Any campaign-specific restriction should be communicated before or at the time the athlete accepts participation.

An athlete may decline a campaign where the restriction conflicts with an existing obligation.

Once the campaign is accepted, agreed restrictions must be followed.

24. Prohibited Affiliate Promotion

Athletes may not:

Upload VEXA discount codes to unauthorized coupon websites.
Submit codes to coupon databases.
Buy fake followers.
Buy fake engagement.
Buy fake traffic.
Use bots.

Pretend to represent customer service.
Run paid advertising using VEXA assets without approval.
Register domains or accounts that falsely imply official control over VEXA.
Use fraudulent or deceptive promotional practices.

25. Advertising Disclosures and Honest Endorsements

Athletes must clearly disclose their relationship with VEXA whenever required by applicable advertising law or platform rules.

Disclosure may be required when athletes receive:

Commission.
Free products.
Discounted products.
Gifts.
Compensation.
Early access.

Other material benefits.

Examples may include:

Required disclosures must be reasonably clear and noticeable.

Athletes may not:

Hide required disclosures.
Claim to use products they have not used.
Create fake reviews.
Misrepresent product experiences.
Make unsupported claims.
Misrepresent their relationship with VEXA.

VEXA does not require positive opinions.

26. Content Ownership and VEXA Content Rights

Athletes retain ownership of their original content unless a separate written agreement assigns ownership to VEXA.

However, participation in the Athlete Program grants VEXA broad continuing rights to VEXA-related athlete content.

For purposes of this section, “VEXA Content” includes any:

These rights continue after the athlete leaves VEXA.

Termination, resignation, removal, suspension, or expiration of Athlete Program participation does not terminate VEXA’s license to VEXA Content previously created, posted, submitted, sent, or provided during the relationship.

VEXA may continue using qualifying content indefinitely without additional compensation unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

VEXA may not materially alter an athlete’s content in a way that:

Falsely changes the athlete’s opinion.
Creates a false statement.
Falsely represents that the athlete remains a current VEXA Athlete after departure.

The athlete represents that they possess the rights reasonably necessary to grant the permissions described above.

Pornography.
Sexually explicit commercial content.
Fetish monetization.
Erotic paid content.
Paid sexualized messaging.
Prostitution.
Escorting.
Solicitation of sexual services.
Similar commercial sexual activity.

Athletes may not use their VEXA affiliation to solicit payment related to such activity.

These restrictions are not intended to control lawful private activity unrelated to VEXA.

VEXA may act where public commercial conduct creates a direct and material conflict with VEXA affiliation and is reasonably likely to create significant brand confusion or reputational harm.

28. Community and Professional Conduct

Athletes are expected to behave professionally when interacting in connection with VEXA.

Athletes may not use their athlete status to:

Harass.
Threaten.
Exploit.
Deceive.
Bully.
Impersonate.
Intentionally target or abuse another person.

Ordinary disagreements, criticism, humor, competition, or personal opinions do not automatically violate this section.

Pricing strategy.

Video.
Gyms.
Locations.
Editors.
Photographers.
Videographers.
Models.
Other protected materials.

VEXA may decline to use content it reasonably believes creates legal or platform risk.

32. Missed Deliverables and Corrective Action

VEXA recognizes that legitimate problems happen.

An isolated:

Missed post.
Late response.
Missed call.
Technical problem.
Work conflict.
School conflict.
Illness.
Similar reasonable issue.

will not automatically result in termination.

For ordinary performance issues, VEXA will generally attempt to communicate the issue and provide an opportunity to correct it.

Corrective action may include:

Completing a late deliverable.
Correcting content.
Adding a missing tag.
Correcting a disclosure.
Submitting missing analytics.
Completing replacement content.
Improving communication.
Pausing PR.
Restricting campaigns.
Probation.

Repeated nonperformance may result in suspension or removal.

33. Suspension, Removal, and Termination

VEXA may suspend, pause, restrict, place on probation, or terminate athlete participation where reasonably appropriate.

Fake orders.

Intentional refusal to complete material accepted campaign obligations.
Conduct reasonably likely to cause immediate material legal or commercial harm to VEXA.

For less serious issues, VEXA will generally attempt to provide an opportunity to improve when reasonably practical.

Repeated less-serious violations may become grounds for removal.

VEXA may also end an athlete relationship because:

The program changes.
Strategy changes.
Inventory changes.
The athlete becomes inactive.
The athlete is no longer a strong fit.
VEXA decides to discontinue the relationship.

Athletes may leave the program by notifying VEXA.

34. Effect of Removal or Departure

When Athlete Program participation ends:

The athlete’s referral code may be deactivated.
The athlete’s referral link may be deactivated.
The athlete must stop identifying as a current VEXA Athlete.
The athlete must stop representing that they speak for VEXA.
The athlete must stop using confidential information.
Future promotional-product shipments may be canceled.
Future campaign participation may be canceled.

Departure does not terminate VEXA’s content rights under Section 26.

Confidentiality and other obligations intended to survive departure remain in effect.

35. Commission After Removal

Earned commission from valid completed sales remains payable subject to the ordinary payout requirements, including tax-documentation requirements.

VEXA may reverse commission directly connected to:

Refunds.
Returns.
Canceled transactions.
Chargebacks.
Fraud.
Fake sales.
Attribution manipulation.
Self-purchase abuse.
Other invalid transactions.

Removal from the Athlete Program does not automatically cause forfeiture of valid unrelated commission.

If payment is due but required tax documentation has not been provided, the balance may remain pending until applicable payout requirements are completed.

36. Program Changes

VEXA may update, restructure, modify, pause, or discontinue the Athlete Program.

VEXA may modify:

Athlete tiers.
Product allocation.
Campaign processes.
Communication platforms.
Performance standards.
Commission opportunities.
Other program features.

Material changes generally apply prospectively.

Previously earned commission will not be reduced solely because future program terms change.

37. No Guarantee

Participation does not guarantee:

Free product.
Campaign invitations.
Paid opportunities.
Commission income.
Reposts.
Exposure.
Social growth.
Trips.
Photoshoots.
Product allocations.
Early access.
Bonuses.
Continued athlete status.

Athlete opportunities may be prioritized based on performance and business needs.

38. Tax Documentation and Legal Compliance

Athletes are responsible for their own personal tax obligations arising from commissions, compensation, free product where taxable, or other benefits received through the Athlete Program.

Athletes are responsible for:

Personal tax filings.
Personal income-tax obligations.
Providing accurate taxpayer information.
Keeping their taxpayer information current.
Complying with tax obligations applicable to their jurisdiction.

U.S. Athletes

VEXA may require U.S. athletes to provide a completed Form W-9 or other taxpayer-identification documentation reasonably required for tax reporting.

Non-U.S. Athletes

VEXA may require non-U.S. athletes to provide the applicable Form W-8, including Form W-8BEN where appropriate, or other documentation required to establish foreign tax status.

VEXA may request tax documentation before the athlete’s first payout or at another time reasonably necessary for legal compliance.

Providing required tax documentation is a condition of receiving payout.

VEXA may delay or pause payment until required information has been properly completed and received.

A payout delay caused solely by missing tax documentation does not, by itself, eliminate valid commission already earned.

VEXA may:

Issue legally required tax forms.
Make legally required tax filings.
Report payments to applicable government authorities.
Apply backup withholding when required by law.
Apply other withholding when legally required.
Request updated tax documentation when necessary.

Athletes must not knowingly provide false taxpayer information.

VEXA may pause payment where required information is missing, materially inaccurate, or reasonably believed to be invalid.

Nothing in these Terms promises that a particular payment will or will not be taxable to the athlete.

Athletes should obtain their own tax advice regarding their individual circumstances.

39. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the athlete is responsible for losses, claims, penalties, or expenses arising from the athlete’s:

Fraud.
Material breach of these Terms.
Tracking manipulation.
Fake orders.
False independently created claims.
Failure to make legally required disclosures.
Unauthorized use of third-party intellectual property.
Unauthorized commercial use of VEXA intellectual property.
Illegal conduct directly connected to their VEXA promotion.
Independent content that unlawfully violates another person’s rights.

This section does not make the athlete responsible for VEXA’s own misconduct or legal violations.

40. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, VEXA will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or lost-profit damages arising from Athlete Program participation.

VEXA’s total liability to an athlete under these Terms will not exceed unpaid earned commission owed to the athlete except where applicable law prohibits such limitation.

41. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law cannot legally be waived.

Unless applicable law requires otherwise, disputes must be brought in an appropriate state or federal court located in Florida.

Nothing prevents either party from seeking legally available emergency relief relating to confidential information, intellectual property, or other circumstances requiring immediate relief.

42. Severability

If any provision is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.

The affected provision will be limited or modified only to the extent reasonably necessary to make it enforceable.

43. No Waiver

Failure by VEXA to enforce a provision immediately does not waive VEXA’s right to enforce it later.

A waiver concerning one violation does not automatically waive future violations.

44. Entire Agreement and Campaign Briefs

These Terms, together with:

Accepted campaign briefs.
Written campaign requirements.
Commission schedules.
Athlete applications.
Separately signed written agreements.

constitute the agreement governing Athlete Program participation.

Written campaign briefs may create additional obligations for that campaign.

Where a separately signed written agreement expressly conflicts with these Terms, the separately signed agreement controls for that specific issue.

45. Contact

Questions regarding the Athlete Program may be sent to:

support@vexaapparel.com

or through another official communication method designated by VEXA.
