Player fee refund policy
This is section 3 of the Managed Financial Addendum, word for word. It is the same text you signed - this page reads it straight out of the contract, so the two can never say different things.
3. REFUND POLICY. The Player Fee is earned upon signing and is NON-REFUNDABLE except as expressly provided in this Section. The Player Fee secures the Player's roster spot and funds uniforms and gear ordered on the Player's behalf. The following rules govern money upon removal or departure from a League-managed Team:
A. Voluntary withdrawal / quit. If the Player terminates under the Contract, or otherwise quits, no portion of the Player Fee is refunded, the $250 League administrative fee applies, and the Player remains responsible for any installment amount then due and payable.
B. Release by Team (not for cause). If the Team releases the Player for roster or performance reasons that are not "for cause," amounts actually paid by the Player are refunded, less the cost of any gear already produced or shipped to the Player, which is non-refundable and retained by the Player.
C. Release for cause. If the Player is released for cause - including misconduct, disciplinary reasons, violation of the League Agreements or Team rules, or leaving for a team in a different league - no amounts paid are refunded, and the $250 reinstatement fee applies before the Player may sign with any League team again.
D. Unpaid or partially paid balances. If nothing has been paid, the outstanding invoice is cancelled. If the Player has paid in part and is removed for any reason, the remaining unpaid balance is cancelled, except that a for-cause release does not entitle the Player to a refund of amounts already paid.
E. Gear. Any add-on gear not yet ordered is removed from the order and credited off the Player's invoice. Any gear already produced or shipped is non-refundable and retained by the Player, and its cost is deducted from any refund otherwise due.
F. Installment obligation. Selecting an installment plan obligates the Player (and guarantor, if any) for the full Term Fee; departure does not relieve amounts due except as stated above.
G. Chargebacks. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute in violation of the Contract or this Addendum constitutes a material breach and may result in placement on the League's ineligible list until resolved.
H. Pre-report-date injury (no fault). If, before the Team's report date, the Player suffers an injury that prevents participation and provides medical documentation (such as a physician's note), the League will refund all amounts the Player has paid, less the cost of any gear already produced or shipped to the Player (which is non-refundable and retained by the Player). No $250 administrative fee applies, and the Player is not placed on the ineligible list and remains eligible to sign in a future season.
I. College reassignment (no fault). If the Player's college coach contacts League staff to move the Player to a different team or league - whether another TPL-managed team, another member league, or a program off the League's platform - the League will refund all amounts the Player has paid, less the cost of any gear already produced or shipped to the Player. No $250 administrative fee applies, and the Player remains eligible.
