Parent consent
Version 2026-10-09
Draft — pending attorney review (2026-09-30): the Shelf merch split was added next to the development-share sentence. The custodial share is now what the product does: your choice, or a state rule; not a fixed 15%.
In one breath
- You decide
- every deal, every video, every development credit, before it happens. Nothing about your child moves without your yes
- You are paid
- into the family account, held for your child. You may set a share aside in a custodial account in their name; some states require one
- You can
- see everything, export everything, and leave any time
1. Consent
- You confirm you are the parent or legal guardian of the athlete you link.
- You countersign each order before it is accepted, approve each video before a business sees it, and accept or decline each development credit a coach or club claims.
- Separately, you may give appearance consent: your child may appear in the team's own videos and game footage as a member of that team. The team makes and posts that content on its own account. Appearance consent is never a promise that your child will post, shoot or deliver anything — no team, business or screen can require that of a child.
- You can withdraw consent at any time. Orders in progress finish; nothing new starts.
2. Privacy
- Your child's location is shown at town level only, never a precise place.
- On public pages your child is shown by first name. Your family is shown by the parents' first names, never your surname, unless you choose a public name yourself. Legal names stay on private records: the order, receipts, payouts and NIL Go.
- No producer or business contacts your child directly; messages come to you.
- We collect what the form asks and nothing else. Under 13 cannot join.
3. Your child's videos: how long, and who may show them
- A business may post and run a video of your child for 12 months from the day it approves it.
- It may ask to keep the video running for 12 more months. You decide again, and you are paid again. It never runs past 24 months from the first approval. Nobody may buy a video of your child outright or keep it forever.
- When the months end, the business stops new posts and paid ads. Posts already up on its own accounts may stay. If you want one down, write to ben@wenationil.com; the business takes it down within 7 days.
- Your family's own posts never expire. The months are the business's right, not a limit on you.
- The business's offer and walk-in pay on your family's or team's code can keep running after the video stops. A code carries no one's face.
- Your family's page shows a video only when the business that paid for it said yes. You may hide any one of them.
- A club, program or league page may show your family's videos only if you say yes: to all of them, or only to the ones you pick. Until you do, it shows none. You can change your answer any time.
- weNATIONIL's own accounts. We may post a finished video on weNATIONIL's own pages and social accounts as your child's story, with the business named. To ask us not to, for one video or all of them, write to ben@wenationil.com. We stop new posts and take down what we posted within 7 days. There is no switch for this in the app yet; email is the way.
4. When your child turns 19
- At 19 your child is an adult in Nebraska. From then on, only they can say yes to a new video or to keeping one running.
- A person who was a minor when you said yes may undo that yes when they turn 19. If they do, a video still running stops at the end of its current term and is not extended, and nothing new starts. Money already paid stays paid.
- Anything you set aside in a custodial account becomes theirs at 19, as the next section says.
5. Money and the trust flag
Your child keeps 85% of every deal. Because they are a minor, Stripe, our payment provider, sends it to your connected account.
You choose a share of your child's money to go into a custodial account in your child's name — a real account, not a note in our records. Nebraska requires no share; where a state requires one, we apply it. We transfer it under Nebraska's Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (§ 43-2708), which lets someone who owes money to a minor move it to a custodian without a court order. Once transferred it is irrevocable and the money is your child's, by law — we cannot take it back and neither can anyone else. It comes to them at 19, Nebraska's age of majority.
One thing we will not overstate: a custodial account is irrevocable, but it is not locked. As custodian you may spend it for your child's benefit. A genuinely locked account — the kind a court has to open — needs a trust company or a judge, and we will help you set one up if you ever want one. Until then we say “held for them”, and we mean exactly that.
Nebraska does not require any of this. Illinois, Minnesota, California and Utah require it of others. We do it because it is right, and we did it before anyone made us.
We never deduct anything from your child's share of an ad to pay a coach, a club, or anyone else. Development shares come from our fee. The Shelf is different and says so before anyone buys: on shirts, hoodies, hats and cards, 85% of what is left after printing goes to whoever is on the piece, 10% to us and 5% to the clubs that developed your child. When the piece carries your child and their team, your family and the team share the 85 in equal halves.
6. Your family's accounts
Social accounts you add to your family are recorded with two facts kept apart: who posts from the account, and whose account it is. A minor's account is recorded as the parent's, and it is transferred to them when they turn 19, at their request. Payouts go to the family account, held for your child, with any share you chose set aside as held for that child on every line.
7. Eligibility
We keep school names, gear, logos and facilities out of every paid video, because the state association's rule can cost a season. If your child's school has a stricter rule, tell us and we follow it.
8. The rest
This consent lives alongside the Athlete Agreement, which you countersign. Either can be ended with 30 days' notice. Arbitration in Douglas County, Nebraska.
