Verified parties, with limits stated up front.
Organizations start the same private profile as an athlete (type School/Program or Brand), add a domain and a signatory, and are reviewed by hand. Badges are granular; identity documents, licensing evidence, ownership records, and payment-source detail stay private.

| Agent / Representative KYA Authorized Representative | Identity, company, jurisdiction, license or registration where applicable, authority from the athlete (time-limited) | Negotiate, upload proposed terms, receive athlete-authorized communications | Bind an athlete without documented authority, receive institutional revenue-share payments directly, own the athlete's namespace, accounts, wallet, or data |
| School / Program | Domain, official page, named compliance contact | Ambassador program, roster QR, compliance workspace records | Guarantee third-party NIL payments (NCAA rule), use NIL33 as a substitute for its own compliance office |
| Capital Provider KYA Capital Partner · not open | Entity identity, lending or licensing status, funding source, product approval, responsible-lending policy | Only after legal design and partner diligence: offer approved products through regulated partners (F-31) | Offer undisclosed advances, take perpetual income rights, pull money from athlete wallets |
Brand rules
Fund first
Fund the full deal before work begins when feasible (escrow partner pending, F-31).
No pay-for-play
No performance-based sports results, recruiting inducement, or payment tied to enrollment or transfer.
License window
No use of athlete content outside the agreed window; no unilateral change to scope, deliverables, usage, or exclusivity.
Minors
No contact outside guardian-approved channels.
Agents
No payment to an agent unless the athlete authorized it in writing, visibly.
Disclosure
Every placement carries the required disclosure; NIL33 logs it.
Agent rules
Authority linked
Authority must be linked to a verified athlete profile and expires unless the athlete renews it.
Scope limited
NIL marketing, legal representation, tax support, or another named service; nothing open-ended.
Fees visible
Every fee has a percentage or fixed amount, a deal source, and a cap; no cross-collateralization across unrelated deals.
Copy access
The athlete gets real-time copies of every offer, message, revision, payment, and executed agreement.
Verified by NIL33, not endorsed by a school, league, or governing body.
