Barstool Sports

Welcome to the Barstool Sports Viceroy program! We are excited to have you serve as Barstool’s viceroy for your campus. This “Principal Agreement,” together with the attached “Standard Terms” (collectively, the “Agreement”), lays out the terms of our arrangement, and is made as of the date you submit the contract information (“Effective Date”) by and between Barstool Sports, Inc. (“Barstool” “we”, “us” or “our”) and you.
Your friends at Uncyclopedia have added annotations in italics to help intelligent monkeys (like you) understand what you just agreed to.
Agreement
By inputting and submitting your information as part of the online contract registration process, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. All uses of the defined term “Account” in this Agreement refer to social media account(s) we give you access to.
Translation: you get to run bullshit accounts like @ucfstool, @barstoolwestwood, @barstoolbama, @barstoolpurdue, or @barstoolohiostate on X-plicit Content (Twitter) and Shitstagram! As long as you follow our very simple and not exploitative rules, you'll be FINE.
User Name & Approved Icon
We will work with you to pick a User Name and Icon that we both like (but, in the end, because it is a Barstool account, our decision will control).
A quick note on this: While we expect you to identify with your campus, and are giving you access to a handle that may have your campus name in it, because you are not an official representative of your campus, you cannot use a user name or icon (or do anything else) that implies that the Account is sponsored by your campus. More on that later.
Translation: Do not protest El Presidente's decisions.
Expectations
We picked you because we like you. We want you to post content through the Account that you like and that you think Barstool’s fans at your campus will like (subject to the prohibitions laid out below). We will let you know if we want you to change the kind of content you are posting to the Account or take anything down you have already posted. You agree to make any changes we require.
Keep in mind that this is an extracurricular activity you are doing for the experience and because it’s fun. While it is important to regularly and actively post content to the Account, school comes first. We do not want you spending more than three (3) hours a week on your viceroy activities.
Translation: You acknowledge to us that YOU ARE BEING ENSLAVED BY DAVE PORTNOY. It looks like otherwise because we say you only need 3 hours per week, but the internal Telegram channel says otherwise.
Prohibitions
We want you to be yourself but there are certain types of content we cannot tolerate. Specifically, you are prohibited from posting any content that (i) is racist, sexist, or homophobic, (ii) is obviously pornographic, (iii) could constitute harassment, (iv) promotes excessively dangerous or illegal behavior, or (v) violates the intellectual property rights or privacy rights of any third party.
This is meant to be a public account so do not send private messages or DMs through the Account. Use your personal account instead.
Finally, remember that you do not officially represent your campus so do not take any actions that would imply that somehow the Account is officially sponsored by your campus.
We take this stuff very seriously and so should you. We will be monitoring the activity on the Account and if you violate this provision, we have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and deny you further access to the Account, which would not make either of us very happy.
Translation: Don't pretend to be a part of your college and we won't kidnap your family, okay?
Account Info
While we are excited for you to be a part of our viceroy program, it is important for you to remember that the Account is a Barstool account, not your personal account. We will give you full administrative access to the Account but you agree that all information related to the Account (“Account Info”), including the handle, User Name, and password, belongs to Barstool. You only have a limited right to use the Account Info during the Term in compliance with this Agreement.
You agree that you will not change any Account Info without our approval. In addition, you understand that we can change the Account Info at any time if we feel it is necessary, even if that disables your access to the Account. Do not disclose the Account Info to anyone.
Translation: You are OURS. We can change you. You can't change us! Get fucked, sucker!
Term
The “Term” of this Agreement will start on the Effective Date and end upon its termination. At any point, we can discuss whether or not both of us are interested in extending the Term, but there is no obligation on either side.
Termination
Because the activity on the Account is going to be under the Barstool brand, we have to have ultimate control over the Account. Therefore, you agree that we have the right to terminate this Agreement and your access to the Account at any time, including if we feel that the activity under the Account is violating these terms or otherwise is not consistent with the Barstool brand. You also have the right to quit whenever you want as long as you give us thirty (30) days’ notice.
When the Term ends, you agree to (i) immediately stop all use of the Account, or any other activity under the Barstool brand, (ii) provide us with any Account Info we request and (iii) take any other actions that may be necessary for us to take sole control of the Account. You agree that after we go our separate ways, we can give access to the Account to another viceroy from your campus who will have the right to operate under the same handle, Username and Icon.
Translation: We can cut you off your crack at any time but you can't cut off our our supply of cocaine to you unless you give us thirty days notice! Enjoy addiction!
Content
Barstool at all times will remain the owner of the Barstool brand, the Account (including the Account Info), and any Barstool content or other materials provided or made available to you. Viceroys are not supposed to be content creators so please don’t spend time creating/editing content. If you do end up creating any original content that you post through the Account (“Original Content”), you will remain the owner of that Original Content, but grant Barstool and its affiliates the perpetual, worldwide license to use your Original Content in any manner or media.
If you post third party content to the Account, or include any third-party content in your Original Content, you must have all necessary rights to post it. Likewise, if any of your Original Content includes videos or pictures of other people, you must have their permission before posting it.
Take any complaints or takedown notices seriously and immediately let us know if you receive anything of the sort.
We get to use everything you make for us even if you still "technically" own it. Just be careful and DON'T GET US SUED.
Monetization
You are prohibited from trying to monetize the Account in any way, including through advertising, sponsorships or endorsements. That is our job. Please let us know if you receive any inquiries about potential opportunities.
Translation: FUN FACT CHUMP: YOU'RE BEING EXPLOITED!
Class Credit / Internships
We know that you are doing this for the experience and because it’s fun. If your work for us under this Agreement is also eligible for class credit, God Bless college. We agree to reasonably assist you in obtaining that credit if you need us to so long as you have not breached this Agreement.
If you want, we also agree to consider you for any intern position that opens at Barstool (but we can’t promise you will receive the position).
Translation: This is just a bunch of legalese to essentially say that WE DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING!
Deletions!
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DELETE EVERYTHING POSTED BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2025, OR WE WILL SUE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU AND BANKRUPT YOU! We don't want anyone to know how much illegal shit we covered up! See You Are In Debt for more information.
Wow! I can't believe that Barstool would publish evidence of exploitation on the internet!
