We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change , modify, add, and/or remove portions of these TOU at any time. Please check these TOU periodically for changes. Your continued use of D1Athletes.com following the posting of changes to these TOU means you accept these changes. This site is owned and operated by D1Athletes, Inc. ("D1").

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

D1 currently provides users with access to, including without limitation, information about colleges and universities and other sports programs, as well as on-line message boards and e-mail services (the "General User Service"). In addition to the General User Service, athlete and coach users may have access to their personal profiles (the "Athlete User Service" and “Coach User Service”) which are composed of information provided by the athlete or coach ("Uncertified Content"), as well as possible information that is compiled by D1 ("Certified Content")(collectively "Content"). Similarly, in addition to the General User Service, subscriber users may access all athlete profiles and all coach profiles (the "Subscriber User Service"). These varying levels of access ("General User Service", "Athlete User Service", “Coach User Service”, and "Subscriber User Service") encompass D1's service (collectively known as the "Service"). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment the current Service, including the release of new features of the D1 web site, will be subject to the TOU.
