Sportsmanlike Conduct

Fundraisers we are built for:

• Youth sports teams and clubs: uniforms, equipment, tournament fees, travel, field time, coaching, banquets.
• Schools and school programs: athletics, band, robotics, drama, class trips, scholarships.
• Leagues and community programs: registration scholarships, field and facility upkeep, gear for families who need it.
• Nonprofits and causes tied to a team or school community.

A team that just wants cards. A season keepsake with no particular fundraising goal attached is welcome too. Say so plainly on your fundraiser page. We encourage you to donate the proceeds to the charity of your choice.

We will remove a fundraiser and may close the account for any of the following:

• Anything illegal, deceptive, or misleading, including misstating who the money is for.
• Fundraising for the legal defense of serious crimes, including crimes against minors, violent crimes, and financial crimes.
• Hate, harassment, violence, or discrimination against any person or group.
• Adult or sexually explicit content of any kind. This platform involves photos of children. There is zero tolerance here.
• Weapons, drugs, tobacco, vaping, alcohol, gambling, betting, raffles, or lotteries.
• Political campaigns, candidates, and ballot measures.
• Anything we reasonably believe puts a child, a family, or the EveryMVP community at risk.

Cards feature real kids, so this section matters most.

• Only upload a photo if you are the athlete's parent or legal guardian, or you have that parent's permission.
• Only upload photos you own or have the right to use. School and league photographers, and many team photo packages, hold the copyright. Get written permission before uploading a professional photo.
• Do not upload photos of a child who is not on the team, and do not add another family's player without their say-so.
• Keep card details appropriate: no home addresses, no phone numbers, no school schedules, no medical details.
• Team names, logos, and marks belong to their owners. Upload a logo only if the team, school, or league has authorized you to use it. Do not use pro or college team logos, player names, or league marks.
• No copyrighted art, characters, or photos you found online.

If you set up a fundraiser, you are the organizer. When you start one, you agree that:

• You are authorized to raise money for the team, school, or organization you named.
• The purpose you write on your fundraiser page is truthful and specific.
• You will use every dollar of your team's share for that stated purpose.
• If the share belongs to a team, school, league, booster club, or nonprofit rather than to you personally, you will pass the funds to that organization promptly, and no later than 10 business days after you receive them.
• You will not keep any part of the team's share as your own pay, commission, or reimbursement for unrelated expenses.
• You will keep the families who bought cards informed if the plan changes.
• You will follow the law where you live, including any registration and tax rules that apply to your fundraising.

• You are buying trading cards from EveryMVP at retail. It is a purchase, not a donation.
• EveryMVP pays the team a 20% share of the purchase price out of its own proceeds. The rest covers the cards, printing, shipping, and running the platform.
• Your purchase is not tax deductible, and no part of it is a charitable contribution, even when the team or cause is a nonprofit. We cannot advise you on your taxes.
• EveryMVP does not endorse any fundraiser, and a team, school, or organization named on a fundraiser page has not necessarily reviewed or approved it.
• EveryMVP does not control how a team spends its share once we pay it out. We review fundraisers, we do not audit them.
• Questions about how the money will be used belong with the organizer first. If something looks wrong, tell us.

• Your team's 20% share is a revenue share EveryMVP pays you as the organizer. It is not a donation to you and it is not a grant.
• You need to link a bank account before your fundraiser goes live. That is how we pay you, and it is not optional.
• Has your team got an EIN? Use it. Then any tax reporting goes to the organization instead of to you personally. If using an EIN, you must also connect a bank account affiliated with the EIN. Most teams that run through a booster club, league, school, or nonprofit have one, and the treasurer will know it. If your team does not have one, you can still run a fundraiser under your own name.
• We may be required to report what we pay you to the IRS and to your state. If we are, the form comes from EveryMVP, not from our payment processor, and we will send it to the name and tax ID on your payout account.
• We do not give tax advice. What you owe on your team's share, and who owes it, is between you, your organization, and your tax advisor.
• If a payout fails, for example because a bank account was closed, we will hold the balance and try to reach you.

The full legal terms, including taxes, payouts, and liability, live at everymvp.com/terms. If the two ever disagree, the Terms govern.

Email support@everymvp.com with the fundraiser link and what you saw. We read every report.

We may remove a fundraiser, pause a payout while we look into it, cancel orders, close an account, or contact law enforcement when a child’s safety is involved. We can act without notice when we believe someone is at risk.

We do our best to review new fundraisers before they go live, and we look again if we get a report. We use a mix of automated checks and human eyes. We will not catch everything, so the responsibility for a clean fundraiser stays with the organizer.

We will update these guidelines as we learn. The version date sits at the top of this page, and material changes get an email to active organizers.

• If someone brings a claim against us because of your fundraiser, your photos, or how your team's share was used, that is on you, and you agree to cover our costs.
• We run this platform carefully, but we cannot promise a fundraiser will raise a particular amount, that a card order arrives by a particular date, or that an organizer will do what they promised.
• Disagreements between a coach, a booster club, a school, and parents about who gets the money are theirs to settle, not ours.
