What the Site is

The Site provides information about Sumoco, Inc. and allows you to submit inquiries through forms (fan signup, sponsor inquiry, athlete interest, press inquiry).

The Site is provided for informational purposes. Information on the Site may change without notice, and we do not guarantee that any specific event, schedule, partnership, athlete, or other detail described or implied on the Site will occur or remain accurate.

Submissions through the Site

When you submit a form on the Site, you are starting a conversation with SCL. A form submission is not a contract, offer, or guarantee of any outcome.

  • A fan signup adds you to our email list. We are not obligated to send any specific content.
  • A sponsor inquiry begins a conversation. SCL is not obligated to enter into a partnership, respond on any timeframe, or share any specific materials.
  • An athlete interest submission registers you for consideration. SCL is not obligated to select any athlete, respond on any timeframe, or share specifics of the selection process until it opens. Selection criteria are at SCL’s discretion.
  • A press inquiry routes to our press team. SCL is not obligated to grant credentials, schedule interviews, share materials, or respond on any timeframe.

By submitting a form, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge. We may decline at our sole discretion to act on any submission including without limitation submissions that contain inaccurate, misleading, or harmful information.

If you upload a photo or video as part of an athlete interest submission, you confirm that:

  • You are the person in the photo or video, or you have permission from the person depicted to submit it.
  • You have the right to share the file with SCL for the purposes of evaluating your interest in competing.
