Please let Sports, Inc. know about business plans that could affect your Sports, Inc. Membership.

As part of the Sports, Inc. Membership Agreement and the By-laws, members agree to notify the Sports, Inc. Office about material changes in their business. With notification, Sports, Inc. staff often can help make sure that your membership is not affected. Examples of material changes include, but are not limited to, change of ownership or location, adding or closing branches, adding or dropping merchandise categories, or experiencing unfortunate events like catastrophic weather, fire, or burglaries. IMPORTANT: Dealers should be especially proactive if they are contemplating the sale of their business. Sports, Inc. stock will not transfer to new owners, and the prospective buyers will have to apply and be accepted for membership by Sports, Inc. staff. If dealers inform the SI office of a possible change in ownership early in the process, Sports, Inc. staff often can assist both the existing dealer and the prospective buyer. If you have any questions about the notification provisions in either the By-laws or the Membership Agreement, please contact the Sports, Inc. office.
