Revisions & Disputes
What if revisions are needed?
Businesses can request revisions through the platform. Athletes receive detailed feedback on what needs to be changed. Most deals include 1-2 rounds of revisions in the original agreement.
What if a deal isn't approved?
If a business rejects work without valid reason, athletes can file a dispute. Our mediation team reviews the deliverables against the original agreement and makes a fair decision.
How long do disputes take?
Most disputes are resolved within 3-5 business days. Our team reviews all submitted work, communications, and the original deal terms to reach a fair resolution.
When does AthleteGum charge fees?
For Businesses
AthleteGum takes a percentage fee when a business creates a completed deal. This covers platform costs, escrow management, and customer support.
