MEDIA RELEASE AGREEMENT
The purpose of this Media Release Agreement (the “Release”) is for you to give us permission to use any photos or videos we capture of you as we are preparing to record content to use online. We want it to be perfectly clear that you are giving away the irrevocable rights of your audio, video, photo and other recordings to Fine Tune. In addition to this, by signing this Release, you understand that we are creating a ‘Work for Hire’ relationship, where all intellectual property ownership in all materials created will forever belong to Fine Tune.
On-Camera Release. You hereby grant to Fine Tune Pilates Inc., a Corporation operating in the Province of Ontario, and any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, licensees and assigns (collectively, “Fine Tune” or “us”) the worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual right to photograph and record you on video or film, edit and use any such photographs or recordings, including your voice, movements, musical or other sound effects, as well as your biographical information and testimonials, for any purpose, including commercial use, in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised.
Materials Release. You hereby grant to Fine Tune the worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual right to use the copyrighted photographs and/or video recordings, taken by you or of you, which you either provide to Fine Tune or which Fine Tune takes of you (the “Licensed Material”) for any purpose, including commercial use and resale, in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised.
2.1 Fine Tune’s use of the Licensed Material shall be subject to an arrangement made between you and Fine Tune. You warrant and represent that you have the right and authority to grant these rights, that the consent of no other person or company is required to enable Fine Tune to use the Licensed Material, and that such use will not violate the rights of any kind of any third parties.
Release of Liability. You hereby release Fine Tune from any and all claims and demands of any nature whatsoever arising out of or in connection with it exercising its rights under this Media Release Agreement, including without limitation, any and all claims for invasion of privacy, infringement on the right of publicity or personality, defamation (including libel and slander), and infringement of moral rights and other personal and/or property rights. Further, you agree that these provisions above apply to you, your family, heirs, executors or anyone else who may be able to bring a legal action on your behalf in the future. You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fine Tune and its members, officers, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns from any and all liability resulting from our use of the Licensed Materials.
Ownership of Licensed Materials. You understand that in signing this agreement, either by hand or electronically or clicking ‘I Agree’, you are irrevocably assigning, across all jurisdictions in the world and forever, any intellectual property rights you have in the Licensed Materials, however they were created. Fine Tune will always have full intellectual property ownership of the Licensed Materials, and this is a work-for-hire provision, where Fine Tune is paying you to keep all ownership in the Licensed Materials.
