These Terms of Use are effective immediately for non-Member visitors to RealResponse (each, a “Visitor”) and members of RealResponse with registered accounts (each, a “Member”) upon the last updated date.

These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of our websites, emails and mobile applications (“RealResponse”). By accessing and using RealResponse, you agree to comply with these Terms. If you are using RealResponse on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you agree to be bound by these Terms even if we have a separate agreement with you. You may not use RealResponse if you do not agree to the version of these Terms posted on RealResponse at the time you access RealResponse. (The terms “we”, “us” and/or “our” refer to RealRecruit, LLC., a North Carolina limited liability company.) Along with these Terms, please read our Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated and made part of these Terms. 

THESE TERMS OF USE ARE BINDING UPON YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF USE, DO NOT USE REALRESPONSE.  THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE.

PERMITTED USE OF REALRESPONSE

You will use RealResponse solely for lawful purposes in a manner consistent with these Terms and any and all applicable laws and regulations and other binding obligations (including contractual obligations) you may have towards third parties.

RealResponse facilitates communications among and between student athletes, prospective student athletes and schools, universities, or other institutions that may be subject to the requirements of amateurism established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Amateur Athletic Union, or other organization for which amateur status is required for participation. For this reason, access to RealResponse is specifically prohibited by any individual, organization, or entity engaged in the recruitment, promotion, or representation of athletes or individuals as an agent, attorney, or other representative (an “Agent”) in any way that may actually or apparently impact a visitor’s eligibility or status as an amateur. RealResponse reserves the right to immediately terminate access by any individual suspected to be acting as or on behalf of any Agent.

You will not:

  • Use any information obtained from RealResponse in order to harass, abuse, or harm another person, or in order to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any Member or Visitor without their prior explicit consent;
  • Introduce software or automated agents to RealResponse, or access RealResponse so as to produce multiple accounts, generate automated messages, or to strip or mine data from RealResponse;
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on RealResponse or the networks or services connected to RealResponse;
  • Interfere with, disrupt, modify, reverse engineer, or decompile any data or functionality of RealResponse.

If you are student or other visitor to RealResponse, you may use RealResponse for your personal, non-commercial use only. As a student, your submissions regarding an employee of the school that you attend or recently attended may become part of the personnel records of that school.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Governing Law. Governing Law. This Agreement and any and all claims or disputes by or between you or us, including but not limited to any such claims or disputes that are in any way related to or arising under this Agreement or your access to or use of RealResponse, shall be governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws principles that may otherwise provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. For any claim or dispute not subject to the Arbitration provision below, the claim or dispute shall be brought and litigated exclusively in the state courts located within Mecklenburg County, North Carolina or the federal courts in the Western District of North Carolina, as appropriate, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of each of these courts for the purpose of litigating such claims or disputes.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND REALRECRUIT, LLC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND REALRECRUIT, LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

Arbitration. Except for a claim that we may have against you, any and all disputes between you and RealRecruit, LLC arising under or related in any way to this Agreement must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It includes, but is not limited to, all claims and disputes relating to your use of RealResponse. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this section. For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, the AAA, you and RealRecruit, LLC must abide by the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on telephone or online appearances and/or written submissions; and (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If the claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules, and the hearing (if any) must take place in Charlotte, North Carolina. The arbitrator’s ruling is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this agreement to arbitrate is held unenforceable by a court, then the claims or disputes that would otherwise have been arbitrated shall be exclusively brought in the state courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina or federal courts located in the Western District of North Carolina, as appropriate, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of each of these courts for the purpose of litigating such claims or disputes.

OTHER

Except as specifically stated in another agreement we have with you, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of RealResponse and these Terms supersede all prior proposals, negotiations, agreements, and understandings concerning the subject matter of these Terms. You represent and warrant that no person has made any promise, representation, or warranty, whether express or implied, not contained herein to induce you to enter into this agreement. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, then only that provision shall be modified to reflect the parties’ intention or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. These Terms, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you shall violate these Terms and be void. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect; as used in these Terms, the word “including” means “including but not limited to.” Please contact us with any questions regarding these Terms at
