Terms of Use

Effective Date: November 1, 2026

1. Who We Are

The Basketball Summit, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("The Basketball Summit," "we," "us," or "our"), operates The Basketball Summit website, mobile application, and related online services (together, the "Services").

The Basketball Summit brings together leaders from across the game — players, executives, owners, coaches, media, and investors — for live conversations, events, and content. We are solely responsible for the Services and for every event, registration, ticket, sponsorship, vendor arrangement, and merchandise sale offered through them.

We own the name "The Basketball Summit" and its logos, trademarks, domain names, and related intellectual property (the "Marks").

2. Acceptance and Changes

Agreement. These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and us. You accept them by using the Services, or by clicking "I agree" (or a similar button), creating an account, registering for an event, or making a purchase. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Organizations. If you accept these Terms for a company or other organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind it, and "you" includes that organization.

Other policies. Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information and is part of these Terms.

Changes. We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new Effective Date and, for material changes, give you reasonable advance notice, for example by email or a notice on the Services. Updates do not apply to transactions completed before the new Effective Date. If you keep using the Services after that date, you accept the updated Terms.

3. Eligibility and Minors

Adults. You must be at least 18, or the age of majority where you live if higher, to create an account, accept these Terms in your own right, or make a purchase.

Ages 13 to 17. You may browse the Services only with a parent or legal guardian's permission and involvement. The parent or guardian must create any account, accept these Terms, and complete any registration or purchase for you.

Under 13. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information without verifiable parental consent, email support@thebasketballsummit.com and we will delete it.

Registering a minor. If you register a minor for an event, you confirm that you are the minor's parent or legal guardian or are otherwise legally authorized to act for them. By doing so, you:

accept these Terms and any Additional Terms, waivers, and releases on the minor's behalf and your own;
agree to supervise the minor's use of the Services and attendance at events; and
are responsible for the minor's compliance with these Terms and any Additional Terms.

4. Accounts

You agree to give accurate, current information when you create an account or register, and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@thebasketballsummit.com if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or close an account that violates these Terms.

5. Events, Tickets, Registrations, and Other Transactions

Contracting party. We are the seller, organizer, and contracting party for every registration, ticket sale, sponsorship, vendor or exhibitor arrangement, merchandise sale, and other transaction made through the Services, unless a written agreement signed by our authorized representative says otherwise.

Additional Terms. Some transactions and events carry their own terms, such as ticket terms, refund policies, participant waivers and releases, codes of conduct, and sponsorship or vendor agreements ("Additional Terms"). Additional Terms apply alongside these Terms. If the two conflict, the Additional Terms control for that transaction or event.

Invitation and admission. Some events are invitation-only or have limited capacity. We may accept or decline any registration, and may refuse admission to or remove anyone who violates these Terms, an event code of conduct, or venue rules. Removal for misconduct does not entitle you to a refund.

Tickets. Tickets and registrations are personal and revocable licenses to attend. Unless we allow it in writing, you may not resell or transfer them, and tickets obtained through unauthorized resale may be cancelled without refund.

Event changes. Dates, times, venues, schedules, formats, and featured speakers, players, guests, and performers may change. We will make reasonable efforts to tell you about material changes. Refunds, if any, are governed only by the applicable refund policy or Additional Terms.

Event risks. Playing in or attending basketball and other athletic events carries inherent risks, including serious injury. Your participation is subject to any applicable waiver, release, and Additional Terms, as well as these Terms.

Pricing and errors. We may correct pricing, availability, or description errors at any time, even after an order is confirmed. If an error affects your order, we may cancel it and will refund what you paid for the cancelled order.

6. Intellectual Property

Ownership. The Services and their content — including text, graphics, photographs, video, audio, interviews, session recordings, logos, designs, and software ("Content") — are owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. We reserve all rights not expressly granted in these Terms.

Your license. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view the Content for your personal, non-commercial use. You may share links to pages on the Services and use the sharing tools we provide.

Restrictions. Unless we give you prior written permission, you may not:

copy, republish, distribute, sell, rent, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit any Content;
rebroadcast, stream, or post full or substantial portions of any session, interview, or event recording;
use the Marks, or any confusingly similar name or logo, in a way that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation;
remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice;
frame or mirror the Services or alter their appearance;
scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access or collect Content, except standard search-engine indexing that follows our robots.txt; or
use any Content to train, fine-tune, test, or develop any software, machine-learning model, or artificial-intelligence system, or include it in any dataset used for those purposes.

News reporting. Nothing in these Terms limits fair use, including brief quotation of Content for news reporting or commentary with attribution to The Basketball Summit.

Termination of license. Any use not permitted by these Terms automatically ends your license.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without restriction or compensation to you.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

break any law or infringe anyone's rights while using the Services;
harass, threaten, impersonate, or defame anyone, including speakers, players, attendees, or our staff;
post or send spam, malware, or unlawful, hateful, or sexually explicit material;
interfere with, overload, or try to gain unauthorized access to the Services or their systems;
use bots or other tools to buy tickets, reserve registrations, or get around purchase limits or queues; or
collect personal information about other users or attendees without their consent.

8. User Content and Event Recording

Your submissions. If you post or submit content through the Services — such as questions for speakers, comments, photos, or survey responses ("User Content") — you keep ownership of it. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, edit, display, and distribute it in connection with the Services and our events. You confirm you have the rights to grant this license. We may remove any User Content at our discretion.

Recording at events. Our events are recorded, photographed, filmed, and may be livestreamed. By attending, you consent to our use of your name, image, likeness, and voice as captured at the event, in any media, for any lawful purpose related to The Basketball Summit, without payment. Speakers and participants may be subject to separate release agreements, which control.

Attendee recording. You may take personal photos and short clips at events but may not record full sessions or use event recordings commercially without our written permission. Some sessions may be designated off the record.

9. Third-Party Services and Privacy

Third parties. The Services may link to or rely on third-party sites and services, such as ticketing platforms, payment processors, streaming providers, sponsors, and venues. We are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices, and your use of them is governed by their own terms.

Privacy. Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personal information, including information about attendees we share with sponsors where you have agreed to that.

10. Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Indemnity

Disclaimer. THE SERVICES AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Views expressed by speakers, players, and guests are their own and not ours.

Limitation of liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

Indemnity. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Basketball Summit and its officers, employees, and agents from claims, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your User Content, your misuse of the Services, or your violation of these Terms or anyone's rights.

11. Disputes and Governing Law

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to email us at support@thebasketballsummit.com describing the dispute, and both sides will try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days.

Venue. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kent County, Delaware, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction.

12. General Terms and Contact

Suspension and termination. We may suspend or end your access to the Services at any time if you violate these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 6, 8, 10, and 11) will survive.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Services.

Severability and waiver. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force majeure. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including weather, public-health emergencies, labor disputes, venue closures, or government action.
