By using the Site, booking time, or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
2. Who May Use the Site

- Content: articles, videos, and episodes of the Elevate Your Game podcast.
We may add, change, or discontinue any service at any time.
4. No Guarantees and Important Limits
- No guaranteed outcomes. We do not guarantee recruitment, roster spots, scholarships, financial aid, admission to any school, or any athletic or professional result. Every athlete’s path is different.
- Not an athlete agent. The Basketball Firm does not act as an athlete agent, does not negotiate contracts or NIL deals on anyone’s behalf, and does not market athletes to college coaches for a fee.
- Eligibility is your responsibility. You are responsible for understanding and following the rules of the NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, your state high school association, and any other governing body. Nothing on the Site is a ruling on your eligibility.
- Not professional advice. Our content and consultations are educational and advisory. They are not legal, financial, tax, medical, or mental health advice. Consult a qualified professional for those needs.
- Testimonials. Testimonials and success stories reflect individual experiences. Your results may differ.
5. Scheduling, Fees, and Cancellations
- Consultations are booked through our scheduling tool and paid at the time of booking unless we say otherwise.
- Current pricing is posted on the Site. We may change prices at any time, but changes will not affect sessions already paid for.
- Cancellations and rescheduling: you may cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before your session for a full refund or a new time. Cancellations with less notice, and missed sessions, are not refundable.
- If we need to cancel, we will offer a new time or a full refund.
6. Store Purchases
Our online store is powered by Shopify. By purchasing, you also agree to the checkout terms shown at purchase.
- Print products: we ship to the address you provide. Risk of loss passes to you on delivery to the carrier. Returns of unused, undamaged print products are accepted within 30 days of delivery; return shipping is your responsibility unless the item arrived damaged or incorrect.
- Digital edition: your purchase gives you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to access and read the digital Blueprint Guide for your own use. You may not share, forward, post, resell, or distribute the access link or any part of the content. Because digital access is delivered immediately, digital purchases are non-refundable except where required by law.
- Errors: we may correct pricing or description errors and may cancel any order affected by an error, with a full refund.
