USI Master Terms. These terms supplement the Hub-level Terms at theuniquescholars.institute/terms. Where these terms are silent, the Hub terms govern.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using US Athletic Fuel (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and the USI Master Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. The Service is operated by The Unique Scholars Institute (“USI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
2. Description of Service
US Athletic Fuel provides structured sports-performance training, athlete nutrition education, and development tools for boys and girls ages 8–24. The Service includes assessments, meal-planning tools, progress tracking, hydration protocols, and educational resources. The Service is intended for educational purposes only.
3. User Accounts & Authentication
Access requires a USI account. Authentication is brokered through the USI Hub:
- Sign in with your USI Personal Access Code or your USI email and password.
- This site does not create independent accounts or store passwords.
- New families register at theuniquescholars.institute.
4. Minors & Parental Consent
Users under 18 must have parental or guardian consent through the USI Hub enrollment process. Minors ages 8–17 participate through a parent/guardian-mediated account. Collegiate participants (18–24) manage their own accounts. Parents and guardians are responsible for monitoring their minor’s engagement and may view progress through the parent dashboard.
