Program Terms for Schools

Team Gear Rewards from Sportsman’s · October 2026

1. The program

   Team Gear Rewards is the TapNPay+ fan membership platform, offered to schools and programs through Sportsman’s Team Sales of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, an authorized distributor of TapNPay+. A school’s participation is arranged with Sportsman’s. TapNPay+ is the technology platform provider and contracts directly with fans (“Real Fans”), not with schools.

2. Who can take part

   K–12 schools and their programs, athletic and non-athletic (including band, music, theater and the arts), within Sportsman’s service area. An authorized school official opts in, and every participating school is listed with the same standard set of programs.

3. No cost

   There is no cost to the school to opt in, to have a school page, or to take part.

4. How program funds are earned

   Real Fans buy a TapNPay+ annual membership for themselves and choose one school to support, and tell us what they are a Real Fan of. Each membership, and eligible purchases Real Fans make through the app, add team credit to that school’s account (its “Team Wallet”).

5. Gear orders with Sportsman’s only

   Team credit is redeemable solely through Sportsman’s, applied to the school’s gear orders for uniforms, team and program apparel (including T-shirts), footwear and approved equipment. It is used for that purpose only.

6. Never paid to the school

   Team credit is not paid or sent to the school or any program. Sportsman’s applies it to the school’s purchase orders.

7. No cash value

   Team credit is non-cashable and non-transferable, and is not refundable to any fan, program or school.

8. Use within 18 months

   Team credit not applied to a gear order within eighteen (18) months of the date it is credited is forfeited.

9. Balances and reporting

   Team credit is held in one fund per school. Fans’ selections of what they are a Real Fan of are reported by program, as counts only, never names. The athletic director approves all gear orders. Sportsman’s communicates balances and forfeiture dates to participating schools, and each athletic director receives a TapNPay+ login showing the school’s balance and fan counts by program.

10. Orders and questions

    Sportsman’s applies team credit to orders, fulfils them, and answers questions about orders. TapNPay+ supports Real Fans with their memberships and the app.

11. Fans and fan data

    Real Fans are TapNPay+ members under the TapNPay+ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. TapNPay+ owns the fan relationship and fan data. Schools and Sportsman’s receive program-level reporting.

12. Not a donation

    Real Fan memberships are consumer purchases. Team credit is not a donation and is not tax-deductible.

13. School names and marks

    The school permits the use of its name, logo, colours and mascot on its page and program materials. Nothing is published until the school approves it.

14. If a program leaves

    If a school or program stops participating, its Real Fans remain TapNPay+ members under TapNPay+’s terms.
