2. Relationship Between Journey Athletics and Team Sites

Journey Athletics operates the platform that powers independently managed team websites.

All payments are processed securely through verified payment gateways.
You authorize Journey Athletics and its partners to charge your chosen payment method for the total purchase amount, including applicable taxes, shipping, and fees.

Once an order is placed, production typically begins immediately and cannot be changed or canceled.
If an ordered product becomes unavailable, Journey Athletics may issue a full refund or offer a comparable replacement.


5. Shipping and Fulfillment

Production times average 3–7 business days. Delivery typically takes an additional 3–5 business days within the continental United States.
Delays caused by shipping carriers, weather, or incorrect addresses are beyond our control.
Once an order is shipped and marked as delivered, Journey Athletics is not responsible for lost or stolen packages.
