VEXA Athlete Program Terms

Last updated: 7/9/2026

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

By applying to, joining, accepting free product from, receiving a referral link or discount code from, creating content for, or promoting VEXA through the VEXA Athlete Program, you agree to these Terms.

If VEXA provides these Terms through an online application, athlete dashboard, digital form, or signature platform, your acceptance is effective when you click, check, sign, submit, or otherwise confirm that you agree.

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

1. Program Overview

The VEXA Athlete Program is for selected athletes, creators, and ambassadors who represent the standard, image, and direction of VEXA.

Participation may include access to a referral link, discount code, commission opportunities, free product, early product information, launch materials, or content opportunities.

Acceptance into the program does not guarantee free product, commissions, reposts, paid work, long-term participation, exclusivity, or future opportunities.

VEXA may approve, decline, pause, or remove athletes from the program in accordance with these Terms.

2. Independent Relationship

Athletes participate as independent creators, affiliates, or ambassadors.

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

Athletes are responsible for how they create, publish, schedule, and manage their content, subject to these Terms, applicable law, platform rules, and any campaign-specific requirements accepted in writing.

Athletes are not authorized to bind VEXA, make promises on behalf of VEXA, represent themselves as employees of VEXA, or speak as official company representatives unless VEXA gives written permission.

3. Eligibility

The VEXA Athlete Program is open internationally, subject to VEXA approval, shipping availability, payment availability, platform availability, and applicable law.

Athletes must provide accurate identity, contact, payment, shipping, and tax information when requested.

Athletes under 18 may participate only with written approval from a parent or legal guardian. VEXA may require the parent or legal guardian to review and accept these Terms.

VEXA may decline or remove any athlete if participation would create legal, payment, tax, shipping, compliance, reputational, or operational issues.

4. Commission

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

Commissions are calculated on net product sales after discounts and do not include shipping, taxes, duties, import fees, brokerage fees, refunded amounts, returned items, canceled orders, chargebacks, gift cards, store credit, payment processing fees, or other non-product charges.

VEXA may offer different commission rates, bonuses, free product, campaign terms, or special arrangements to specific athletes at its discretion.

Any commission rate changes apply only to future sales. Commission rate changes will not reduce commissions already earned on valid sales before the effective date of the change.

5. Valid Sales

A valid sale is a completed order that is properly tracked by VEXA’s affiliate system, discount code system, Shopify records, payment records, or internal records.

Commissions are not earned on orders that are refunded, returned, canceled, disputed, charged back, fraudulent, duplicate, test orders, self-purchases made to manipulate commission, suspicious orders, or orders that violate these Terms.

If commission is paid on an order that is later refunded, returned, canceled, disputed, charged back, or determined to be invalid, VEXA may reverse that commission and deduct it from future payouts.

VEXA’s records will control unless there is a clear tracking error. If an athlete believes a tracking error occurred, the athlete must notify VEXA in writing within 30 days of the disputed order or payout period.

6. Payouts

Commissions become eligible for payout 30 days after the order date, as long as the order remains valid.

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

Balances under $100 will roll over until the threshold is reached.

Once an eligible payout request is approved, VEXA will make reasonable efforts to issue payment within 7 business days.

Athletes are responsible for providing accurate payment information. VEXA is not responsible for failed, delayed, lost, rejected, or misdirected payments caused by inaccurate athlete information or third-party payment processors.

Athletes are responsible for all taxes, payment fees, currency conversion fees, bank fees, and other payout-related costs.

No commission is earned or payable unless the athlete has complied with these Terms and the sale is valid.

7. Free Product and Campaign Deliverables

VEXA may provide free product to athletes for promotional purposes.

The product, size, color, quantity, shipment timing, and delivery method are determined by VEXA based on availability, campaign needs, inventory, launch timing, and shipping restrictions.

If an athlete accepts free product for a specific campaign or promotional purpose, the athlete agrees to make a good-faith effort to create and publish content featuring the product within a reasonable time, unless VEXA gives different written instructions.

VEXA may provide campaign briefs, product talking points, content guidelines, posting windows, or brand direction. Unless a specific deliverable is agreed in writing, athletes retain reasonable creative control over their content.

VEXA does not require false statements, fake reviews, fake scarcity, fake discounts, fake sellout claims, or positive opinions the athlete does not honestly hold.

Failure to post after accepting free product, repeated low-effort posting, failure to follow accepted campaign terms, or content that materially conflicts with these Terms may result in removal from the program or loss of future product opportunities.

International athletes are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, local charges, or delivery-related costs unless VEXA agrees otherwise in writing.

8. Athlete Expectations

VEXA athletes are expected to represent the brand honestly, professionally, and in a way that protects customer trust.

By participating, athletes agree to:

Promote VEXA honestly and professionally.
Create quality content when free product is provided for promotional purposes.
Tag VEXA’s official social media pages in relevant VEXA content when reasonable.
Use referral links and discount codes correctly.
Clearly disclose their relationship with VEXA when required.
Avoid misleading claims about VEXA products, pricing, discounts, availability, shipping, sellout status, or product results.
Avoid illegal, hateful, harassing, deceptive, explicit, or materially brand-damaging content when representing VEXA.
Stop identifying as a VEXA athlete after removal from the program.
Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and platform rules.

VEXA may request that an athlete remove, edit, correct, untag, or stop using content that misrepresents VEXA, violates these Terms, creates legal risk, infringes third-party rights, violates platform rules, or materially misuses VEXA branding.

9. Prohibited Promotion

Athletes may not:

Post VEXA discount codes on coupon websites, coupon databases, Honey, RetailMeNot, Reddit discount threads, deal forums, or similar platforms.
Buy fake followers, likes, comments, views, clicks, traffic, or orders.
Use bots, automation, artificial engagement, misleading traffic, or fake accounts to generate traffic or sales.
Make false claims about VEXA products, pricing, discounts, availability, shipping, restocks, or sellout status.
Claim guaranteed results from VEXA products.
Make medical, health, body-transformation, or performance claims about VEXA products unless VEXA provides written approval and legally sufficient support.
Pretend to be an employee, owner, customer service representative, or official spokesperson of VEXA.
Share private launch links, passwords, unreleased product details, samples, designs, pricing, campaign plans, or internal information without permission.
Run paid ads using VEXA’s name, content, products, images, trademarks, discount codes, referral links, or brand identity without written approval.
Register, buy, or use domain names, social handles, ad keywords, or accounts that use or imitate VEXA’s name, trademarks, or brand identity without written approval.

Violation of this section may result in content removal requests, payout review, commission reversal for affected sales, suspension, or removal from the program.

10. Adult Content, Sexualized Monetization, and Brand Protection

VEXA is a brand-image-driven athlete program. These rules exist to protect VEXA, its customers, and the public image of the athlete program when an athlete is representing, promoting, wearing, tagging, or benefiting from affiliation with VEXA.

These rules are not intended to police an athlete’s private life, lawful private relationships, sexual orientation, gender identity, protected characteristics, or lawful activity that is not connected to VEXA.

While participating in the VEXA Athlete Program, athletes may not use, display, tag, reference, or associate VEXA products, apparel, logos, trademarks, referral links, discount codes, samples, packaging, unreleased products, athlete status, or brand identity in connection with:

Adult content.
Pornography.
Sexually explicit content.
Fetish content.
Erotic paid content.
Paid private sexualized messaging.
Pay-per-view adult content.
Subscription-based adult content.
Financial domination, including findom, paypig, finsub, tribute, domination, submission, humiliation, degradation, or similar fetish monetization.
Escorting, prostitution, solicitation of sexual services, adult entertainment services, or sex-focused platforms.
Content that exploits, harasses, degrades, humiliates, threatens, or targets others in a way reasonably likely to cause material reputational harm to VEXA.

Athletes also may not use VEXA apparel, products, branding, codes, links, athlete status, or affiliation to solicit money, gifts, payments, subscriptions, private messages, tips, tributes, or other compensation in connection with any of the above conduct.

VEXA may take action if public or commercial content, even without visible VEXA products, creates a clear and material conflict with the athlete’s active VEXA affiliation and is reasonably likely to cause material brand confusion, customer confusion, or reputational harm to VEXA.

VEXA will not restrict unrelated lawful private activity that does not involve VEXA products, VEXA branding, VEXA codes, VEXA links, VEXA content, VEXA confidential information, or an active claimed affiliation with VEXA.

If VEXA believes this section has been violated, VEXA may immediately suspend the athlete’s code, link, payouts, product shipments, or athlete status while reviewing the issue.

Upon written notice from VEXA, the athlete must promptly remove, archive, delete, untag, or otherwise take down content that connects VEXA to prohibited content or conduct. This obligation continues after termination.

VEXA may terminate the athlete immediately for a serious violation of this section, especially if the violation involves VEXA products, VEXA branding, VEXA confidential information, illegal conduct, deceptive conduct, or content reasonably likely to cause immediate material harm to VEXA.

VEXA may hold pending payouts during a good-faith review. VEXA may reverse or withhold only commissions directly connected to the violation, fraud, chargebacks, refunds, invalid sales, or legally recognized damages caused by the violation. Earned commissions from valid unrelated sales will not be forfeited solely because the athlete is removed from the program.

11. Competitor Promotion and No Noncompete

Athletes are not under exclusivity unless VEXA and the athlete agree to exclusivity in a separate written agreement.

These Terms do not prohibit an athlete from working with, promoting, wearing, or endorsing other brands.

However, athletes may not:

Use VEXA confidential information to benefit another brand.
Use VEXA content, images, videos, campaign materials, unreleased products, designs, or brand assets to promote another brand.
Present competitor content in a way that falsely suggests VEXA sponsors, approves, or is affiliated with the competitor.
Misrepresent VEXA or make false claims about VEXA when promoting another brand.
Use VEXA discount codes, referral links, or athlete status to redirect customers to another brand.
Create material brand confusion between VEXA and another brand.

VEXA may remove an athlete from the program if competitor promotion creates a material conflict of interest, misuse of VEXA assets, misuse of confidential information, or clear consumer confusion.

Nothing in this section is intended to restrict an athlete from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, business, sponsorship, endorsement, or creator opportunity after leaving the VEXA Athlete Program.

12. Advertising Disclosures and Truthful Endorsements

Athletes must clearly disclose their relationship with VEXA whenever they promote, mention, tag, review, recommend, wear, or feature VEXA products in a way that could reasonably appear to be an endorsement.

A disclosure is required if the athlete receives or may receive commissions, free product, discounts, early access, payment, repost opportunities, affiliate benefits, or any other value from VEXA.

Acceptable disclosures may include, when accurate:

“VEXA sent me this product.”
“I earn commission from my code.”
“VEXA Athlete.”
“Affiliate code.”
“Affiliate link.”
“Paid partnership.”
“Sponsored.”
“Ad.”
“#ad.”
“#affiliate.”

Disclosures must be clear, easy to notice, easy to understand, and placed with the endorsement itself.

Disclosures should not be hidden only in a bio, profile page, link page, comment section, hashtag block, or behind a “more” button.

For video content, athletes should include the disclosure in the video itself when reasonable. For live content, athletes should repeat the disclosure periodically when reasonable.

Athletes must not:

Claim to use a product they have not used.
Say they like a product if they do not honestly like it.
Make false or misleading claims.
Make claims requiring proof that VEXA has not provided.
Hide or downplay their VEXA relationship.
Create fake reviews, fake comments, fake engagement, or fake customer experiences.

VEXA does not require athletes to give positive reviews. Athletes must provide honest opinions and comply with applicable advertising, endorsement, consumer protection, and platform rules.

Failure to disclose properly may result in content correction requests, payout review, suspension, or removal from the program.

13. Content Usage Rights

Athletes retain ownership of their original content.

By tagging VEXA, submitting content to VEXA, posting content created for VEXA, or creating content that features VEXA products as part of the Athlete Program, the athlete grants VEXA a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, repost, share, display, reproduce, edit for format, and publish that content for VEXA marketing and promotional purposes.

This license includes use across VEXA’s social media, website, product pages, emails, SMS, advertisements, campaign materials, affiliate materials, and internal reports.

VEXA may crop, resize, caption, format, or edit content for layout, platform, length, clarity, or branding purposes. VEXA may not materially edit content in a way that changes the athlete’s honest opinion, creates a false statement, falsely implies current endorsement after the athlete has left the program, or misrepresents the athlete’s experience.

VEXA may use athlete content during the athlete’s active participation in the program.

After an athlete leaves the program:

VEXA may keep historical organic posts, past campaign posts, website archives, internal reports, and previously published materials live.
VEXA may continue using content that was already published or already in active campaigns before termination for up to 12 months.
VEXA may not launch new paid ads using the athlete’s name, image, likeness, voice, or content after termination without renewed written consent, unless the ad was already active or scheduled before termination.
VEXA may not imply that a former athlete is currently part of the program after removal.

The athlete confirms that they own or have the necessary rights to the content they provide and that the content does not infringe or violate another person’s rights.

The athlete is responsible for obtaining permission from photographers, videographers, editors, gyms, locations, music owners, or other rights holders when required.

VEXA may remove content from its own channels at any time, but is not required to remove historical content unless required by law, required by platform rules, or agreed in writing.

14. Confidentiality

Athletes may receive private VEXA information, including:

Unreleased products.
Samples.
Designs.
Product specifications.
Launch dates.
Early access links.
Passwords.
Pricing.
Campaign plans.
Internal documents.
Private messages.
Business strategy.
Supplier, production, or inventory information.

Athletes agree not to disclose, publish, share, sell, leak, misuse, or use confidential information outside the VEXA Athlete Program without written permission.

This obligation continues after leaving the program.

Confidential information does not include information that becomes public through no fault of the athlete, information the athlete already lawfully knew before receiving it from VEXA, or information the athlete is legally required to disclose.

Nothing in this section prevents an athlete from reporting unlawful conduct, participating in a government investigation, responding to legal process, or exercising rights that cannot legally be waived.

15. Suspension, Removal, and Termination

VEXA may suspend, pause, restrict, or terminate an athlete’s participation in the program in accordance with this section.

VEXA may immediately suspend or terminate an athlete for serious issues, including:

Fraud.
Fake orders.
Fake engagement.
Bot traffic.
Chargeback abuse.
Misuse of codes or links.
False advertising.
Failure to disclose the VEXA relationship.
Illegal conduct connected to VEXA or the athlete program.
Misuse of VEXA confidential information.
Unauthorized paid ads using VEXA assets.
Serious violation of Section 10.
Harassment, threats, hateful conduct, or exploitation connected to VEXA.
Conduct reasonably likely to cause immediate material legal, commercial, or reputational harm to VEXA.

For less serious issues, VEXA will make reasonable efforts to provide written notice describing the issue and allow the athlete a reasonable opportunity to fix it before final termination. A reasonable cure period is normally 10 business days unless the issue is urgent, repeated, impossible to cure, or creates immediate legal or brand risk.

Less serious issues may include:

Missed posting expectations.
Inconsistent promotion.
Low-effort content.
Failure to tag VEXA.
Minor disclosure issues that can be corrected.
Brand misalignment that can reasonably be fixed.
Unapproved use of content that can be removed or corrected.

VEXA may also end an athlete’s participation for convenience if the program changes, the campaign ends, inventory is unavailable, the athlete is no longer a fit for the program, or VEXA decides to discontinue the relationship. Termination for convenience does not remove the athlete’s right to earned commissions from valid sales.

Athletes may leave the program at any time by notifying VEXA in writing.

16. Effect of Removal or Termination

Upon removal or termination:

The athlete’s referral link or discount code may be deactivated.
The athlete must stop identifying as a VEXA athlete.
The athlete must stop using VEXA confidential information.
The athlete must stop using VEXA athlete program materials unless VEXA gives written permission.
The athlete must remove or correct any content that falsely suggests they are still an active VEXA athlete.
VEXA may stop sending free product and future opportunities.

Earned commissions on valid completed sales remain payable if the payout eligibility requirements are met.

VEXA may withhold, reverse, or offset commissions only when they are connected to refunds, returns, cancellations, chargebacks, fraud, tracking manipulation, self-purchase abuse, fake orders, invalid sales, or a material breach directly connected to the commission.

No earned commission from a valid unrelated sale will be forfeited solely because the athlete relationship ends.

If VEXA withholds or reverses a commission, VEXA will provide a reasonable written explanation upon request.

17. Program Changes

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

Material changes to these Terms will apply prospectively only, unless a retroactive change is required by law.

Material changes will not reduce commissions already earned on valid sales before the effective date of the change.

VEXA will make reasonable efforts to notify active athletes of material changes by email, athlete dashboard, direct message, website update, or other reasonable method.

Continued participation after receiving notice of updated terms means the athlete accepts the updated terms.

If an athlete does not agree to updated terms, the athlete may leave the program.

18. VEXA Intellectual Property

VEXA owns all rights in its name, logos, trademarks, product names, designs, content, packaging, photography, videos, website materials, campaign materials, and brand identity.

Athletes may use approved VEXA materials only for authorized promotion of VEXA during active participation in the program.

Athletes may not register, copy, alter, sell, license, misrepresent, or misuse VEXA intellectual property.

Athletes may not create accounts, websites, ads, usernames, domains, or products that imply ownership of or official control over VEXA.

Athletes must stop using VEXA intellectual property after removal or termination, except for historical content that does not falsely imply active athlete status and does not otherwise violate these Terms.

19. Third-Party Rights and Platform Rules

Athletes are responsible for ensuring their content complies with platform rules and does not violate the rights of third parties.

Athletes must not use copyrighted music, photos, videos, gym footage, logos, trademarks, images, or other materials unless they have the necessary rights or permission.

Athletes are responsible for their own filming locations, gym permissions, photographer permissions, videographer permissions, editing permissions, and music licenses.

VEXA may refuse to repost, use, or approve content if VEXA believes it creates legal, platform, copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or reputational risk.

20. Taxes and Legal Compliance

Athletes are responsible for all taxes, filings, reporting, licenses, permits, and legal obligations related to their commissions, free product, content creation, business activity, or participation in the program.

VEXA may request tax forms, identity information, payment information, or other documentation before issuing payment.

VEXA may pause payment if required information is missing, inaccurate, or legally required.

Athletes outside the United States are responsible for compliance with local tax, customs, import, advertising, endorsement, and consumer protection laws.

21. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the athlete agrees to be responsible for losses, claims, damages, penalties, costs, or expenses caused by:

The athlete’s breach of these Terms.
Fraud, deception, fake engagement, fake orders, or tracking manipulation.
False or misleading claims made by the athlete.
Failure to disclose the athlete’s relationship with VEXA when required.
Unauthorized use of third-party content, music, images, videos, locations, trademarks, or likenesses.
Unauthorized use of VEXA intellectual property.
Illegal conduct connected to the athlete’s VEXA promotion.
Content created, posted, or distributed by the athlete that violates another person’s rights.

This section does not make the athlete responsible for VEXA’s own misconduct, VEXA’s own legal violations, or claims caused solely by VEXA-provided materials used exactly as instructed.

22. Limitation of Liability

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

VEXA’s total liability to an athlete under these Terms will not exceed the amount of unpaid earned commissions owed to the athlete, except where a limitation is not permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

23. No Guarantee

VEXA does not guarantee that an athlete will receive free product, earn commissions, receive reposts, receive paid opportunities, gain followers, increase engagement, or remain in the program.

VEXA does not guarantee that referral links, discount codes, third-party platforms, Shopify, payment processors, shipping carriers, or affiliate tracking systems will be uninterrupted or error-free.

24. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where another jurisdiction’s law cannot legally be waived.

Any dispute must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Florida, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief for misuse of confidential information, intellectual property, or brand assets.

25. Severability

If any part of these Terms is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in effect.

The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable part will be limited or revised only to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the original purpose as closely as possible.

26. No Waiver

If VEXA does not enforce a provision of these Terms immediately, that does not waive VEXA’s right to enforce it later.

Any waiver must be in writing to be effective.

27. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any written campaign brief, commission schedule, athlete application, or separate written agreement accepted by VEXA and the athlete, make up the full agreement between VEXA and the athlete regarding the VEXA Athlete Program.

If a separate written agreement signed by VEXA provides different terms, the signed written agreement controls for that specific issue.

28. Contact

support@vexaapparel.com

29. Athlete Confirmation

By joining the VEXA Athlete Program, accepting these Terms, receiving a referral link or discount code, accepting product, or promoting VEXA, the athlete confirms that they:

Have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
Will promote VEXA honestly and lawfully.
Will disclose their relationship with VEXA when required.
Will not misuse VEXA products, branding, codes, links, content, or athlete status.
Will notify VEXA if a conflict arises.
Are not prohibited from participating under applicable law, platform rules, or another agreement.

If the athlete is under 18, a parent or legal guardian must approve participation.
