ZRZoneReadIn your corner on every deal.
Paid only by the athlete

Read the deal. Track the deal. Stay in control.

ZoneRead reads any NIL deal in plain English, flags what could cost you, and keeps every deal on track — for as long as it runs.

Perpetual and irrevocable means they keep these rights forever — even after you leave.

ConfidentialityMajor
This tells you not to tell your school. Many associations require deals to be disclosed — worth asking about.

You'd be paying them to get paid — the monthly fee can erase the whole deal.
The five moves

Read. Flag. Check. Track. Connect.

01
Read
Translate every clause

Paste or upload the contract. ZoneRead rewrites it in plain English, clause by clause, so nothing hides in legalese.

02
Flag
Surface what's easy to miss

It marks the clauses that carry the most weight — rights that outlast the deal, costs that never appear in the payment section, terms that are broader than they first read — ranked by how much attention they deserve.

03
Check
Test it against the rules

It runs the deal against your state's NIL and eligibility rules — age, disclosure, prohibited categories, who can be involved.

04
Track
Keep the whole deal on track

The deal lands in your Deal File — every deadline and deliverable tracked, rule changes watched, and your questions answered, for as long as it runs.

05
Connect
An independent attorney, when you want one

ZoneRead never sends your deal to anyone. If you decide you want a lawyer, you can request a referral to a vetted, independent attorney who works for you — not the other side. Their fees are set and billed by them, separately from your subscription.

Who do we serve?

We are paid only by the athlete. Never by a school, brand, agent, or collective.

Everyone else at the table makes money when you sign. We don't. That independence is the reason a flag from ZoneRead means something — and the reason it can never be bought.

Pricing

Less than one hour of a lawyer's time.

The preview is free on every deal, always. The subscription is your Deal File — unlimited reads plus everything that keeps a deal on track after you sign.
