FaNILy is not directed to, and may not be used by, anyone under 18. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 18, we may suspend or close it and remove associated content or information, subject to applicable law.

If you represent a school, club, league, or other organization, email partnerships@gofanily.com.

Question 5

What is a digital card?

Accepted Answer

A digital card is a collectible digital athlete card. Cards are offered through an athlete's profile when that athlete has them available, and you can trade the cards you own with other fans.

Cards are digital only. Nothing sold on FaNILy is a physical good, an investment, a security, a currency, or a right to receive any payment. Digital cards have no cash value and cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or transferred for money.

Question 6

How do I cancel a subscription?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel a subscription at any time from your account settings, without contacting us and without a cancellation fee.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then. Because subscriptions are billed at the end of each period, cancelling before the period ends means you are not charged for it.

We do not provide prorated refunds for partially used billing periods, except where required by law. See the Refund Policy for the full terms.

Question 7

How do athletes get paid?

Accepted Answer

Athletes connect a bank account through Stripe, our payment processor, and complete Stripe's identity verification.

Money from a purchase is credited to the athlete and then held for a period before it is released. That window exists so refunds and payment disputes can settle before money leaves the platform. Released earnings are transferred automatically to the athlete's connected bank account.

Athletes can see pending and released earnings in their FaNILy dashboard.

Question 8

How can a school or team work with FaNILy?

Accepted Answer

Schools, clubs, leagues and other organizations can partner with FaNILy to bring their athletes onto the platform. There is more detail on the partners page.

Where an organization has enabled it, fans can also buy school and team offerings directly, and the organization is paid through the same Stripe rails athletes use.

Email partnerships@gofanily.com and we will get in touch.
