These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who wish to access or use the services.
By using or accessing the services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to be bound by these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the services.

These Terms constitute a legal agreement and governs your use and access of all features, content, website, mobile applications, and all other services (collectively, the “Services”) provided by BLVD. Use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of these Terms. BLVD reserves the right to change these Terms at any time, without prior notice, which change shall take effect immediately upon posting, or such later date as may be specified in the notice of updated terms. You are responsible for reviewing and remaining up to date with changes to the Terms. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the Terms, as modified by the posted changes. If you object to any changes, your sole recourse shall be to stop using the Services.

You acknowledge that you may not distribute, modify, re-publish, or publicly display any of the content published and/or hosted by BLVD or the Services unless you have the prior written permission of BLVD, which shall be granted pursuant to BLVD’s sole discretion. You may not use, copy, emulate, clone, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or transfer any product, content, or service offered by BLVD.

Any use of the Services provided by BLVD in violation of any federal, state and/or local laws is strictly prohibited, and you hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless BLVD from and against any and all damages, claims, and/or liability resulting from your use of the Services in violation of these Terms.

If you register with us and create an account as part becoming a BLVD Member, you are solely responsible and liable for the security and confidentiality of your access and for all activity under your account. You may be required to provide BLVD, and/or BLVD’s third party vendors and/or licensors, with personal identifiable information, including, but not limited to, your name, age, phone number, address, and e-mail address. In consideration of your use of the Services, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or BLVD has sufficient grounds to suspect that the information provided is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, BLVD reserves the right to suspend or terminate your ability to access and/or use the Services and/or all features provided in relation thereto

Accessing some of the Services may also require the payment of a membership contribution. If you make such a payment, you agree to pay BLVD all charges at the prices presented to you or your agent(s). You must provide, and you authorize BLVD to charge, your chosen payment provider (your “Payment Method”), and you agree to only provide us information about payment methods that you are authorized to use.
Creating an account with us and/or paying a fee may grant access to Services hosted or enabled by third parties. In such a case, you agree to any terms required by those third parties.
The Services may be unavailable from time to time for any reason including, without limitation, routine maintenance. You understand and acknowledge that due to circumstances both within and outside of the control of BLVD, access to the Services may be interrupted, suspended, or terminated from time to time.

BLVD uses third-party electronic payment processors to process financial transactions executed through your use of the Services. You irrevocably authorize us to instruct such processors to handle payments and irrevocably agree that we may give such instructions on your behalf.
You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and BLVD, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, or any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and BLVD are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
YOU AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND BLVD AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail or email, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to BLVD should be sent to [email protected] You agree that all notices to be sent to you shall be sent to the email associated with your account. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If BLVD and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or BLVD may commence an arbitration proceeding.
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, and the arbitration decision may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such a proceeding, which shall be final and conclusive. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone. The prevailing party in any action or proceeding shall be entitled to reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.
Unless BLVD and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, AAA shall make the determination. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, BLVD agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the AAA Rules will determine the right to a hearing. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, in no event shall BLVD be precluded or delayed from seeking and obtaining temporary, preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief, without the posting of any bond or proving of actual damages, against infringement or other violation of its claimed intellectual property rights in a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief as set forth herein) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions regarding the prohibition of class and representative actions and non-individualized relief as set forth herein are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms will continue to apply.
You consent to receive communications from us electronically, such as e-mails, texts, mobile push notices, or notices and messages on this website, and you can retain copies of these communications for your records. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You further agree that any notices provided by us electronically are deemed given and received on the date we transmit any such electronic communication.

You are responsible for your own activities in connection with your use of the Services, including, but not limited to, complying with all legislation, rules, regulations, and laws or similar rules, regulations and laws that may be established from time to time by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, any successor organization or any athletic conference, league, member institution, and/or other governing body (collectively, the “Regulations”). If you act in violation of the Regulations, we may take reasonable steps in response, including, but not limited to, suspending and/or terminating your BLVD Membership and/or access to the Services and/or reporting such conduct to the appropriate authorities. BLVD does not knowingly promote any violations of Regulations or applicable law.
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in effect. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding your use and access to the Services, and supersedes and replaces any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding your use of the Services.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, such provision will be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. If such provision cannot be reformed, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions.
You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under these Terms and/or as a member of BLVD, and any such attempts will be ineffective. BLVD can freely assign or delegate all rights and obligations under these Terms in part or in its entirety without prior notice to you.
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and BLVD as a result of these Terms or use of the Services.
BLVD’s performance under these Terms is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in this agreement is in derogation of BLVD’s right to comply with governmental, court and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Services or information provided to or gathered by BLVD with respect to such use.
Unless otherwise specified herein, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BLVD with respect to your use of Services, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between the you and BLVD with respect to the Services.
All provisions of the Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall do so.
