1. Grant of rights
In exchange for the opportunity to participate and other good and valuable consideration, I grant Ascend Brotherhood Hikes LLC and its successors, assigns, licensees, employees, contractors, sponsors, and agents the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, and sublicensable right to record, photograph, film, reproduce, edit, adapt, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, and otherwise use my name, likeness, image, silhouette, voice, statements, performance, biographical information, tattoos, and body in any media now existing or later developed, subject only to the permissions I select and any written restriction I state in this form.
2. Ownership
All footage, photographs, audio, outtakes, and derivative works created in connection with the production are the exclusive property of the Producer. To the extent my contribution could qualify as copyrightable work, I assign it to the Producer and waive rights of attribution or integrity to the fullest extent permitted by law. I acquire no ownership, royalty, residual, or reversionary interest.
3. Compensation
I am not entitled to payment, royalties, residuals, credit, profit share, or other compensation for the recording or use of the content unless a separate written agreement signed by the Producer states otherwise.
4. Approval and inspection
I waive any right to inspect, review, or approve the content, its edits, captions, headlines, accompanying text, or context of use. I understand editing may place my likeness in a sequence or context different from the one I experienced during recording.
5. Release of claims
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release the Producer and released parties from claims arising from the recording or authorized use of the content, including claims involving privacy, publicity, defamation, false light, emotional distress, copyright, trademark, distortion, alteration, compositing, or authorized digital and AI modification.
6. No obligation to use
The Producer has no obligation to use the content, complete or release a project, or credit me. Non-use creates no claim.
7. Binding limits on the Producer
The Producer will not depict me in sexually explicit conduct or pornographic material under this agreement; falsely represent my endorsement of a product, service, cause, or candidate; knowingly publish material that falsely attributes statements or conduct to me; sell or transfer my contact, identification, or health information; or use my likeness in a manner I expressly withheld or restricted in this form.
8. Data and records
The Producer will store this agreement and production contact information securely for as long as reasonably needed to document consent, verify eligibility, and address claims. These records will not be published. Contact details will be used for production communication unless I separately opt in to marketing.
9. Withdrawal
The granted rights are irrevocable. If I later send a written withdrawal request through the contact method used for this production, the Producer will in good faith avoid featuring me in new material published more than 30 days after receiving it and make commercially reasonable efforts to remove me from Producer-controlled channels. The Producer need not recall, re-edit, or destroy material already published, distributed, licensed, printed, or held by third parties.
10. Confidentiality and participant privacy
I will not disclose unreleased content, scripts, participant identities, or the location of a private or clothing-optional shoot before public release. I will not photograph, record, or post another participant without that person's express permission and Producer approval.
11. Conduct, safety, and assumption of risk
I will follow on-set and venue rules. I understand participation may involve physical activity, outdoor terrain, weather, equipment, travel, and other risks. I voluntarily assume those risks and release the released parties from liability for injury, illness, or property loss to the fullest extent permitted by law, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12. Indemnification
I will indemnify and hold the released parties harmless from claims, losses, or reasonable legal expenses arising from my breach of this agreement, false statements, on-set conduct, or third-party material I introduce into the production.
13. Third-party materials
I represent that I own or have permission for music, artwork, logos, trademarks, or wardrobe designs I bring and that my participation does not breach an exclusivity, union, agency, employment, or other obligation.
14. Assignment
The Producer may assign or transfer this agreement and its rights. This agreement binds and benefits the parties' heirs, executors, successors, and assigns. I may not assign my obligations.
15. Georgia law and venue
This agreement is governed by Georgia law. Subject to the arbitration clause below, the parties consent to jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts serving DeKalb County, Georgia, and waive objections to that venue and jury trial to the extent permitted by law.
16. Dispute resolution
Before filing an action, the parties will give written notice and attempt good-faith resolution for 30 days. Unresolved disputes will be resolved individually by binding arbitration before one arbitrator under applicable American Arbitration Association commercial rules in Atlanta, Georgia. Class, collective, and representative actions are waived. Either party may seek injunctive relief to protect intellectual property.
17. Severability and entire agreement
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified only as needed or severed while the remainder stays effective. A failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. This form, including the exact permissions and restrictions recorded with my signature, is the entire agreement on this subject and may be changed only in a writing signed by both parties.
18. Electronic signature
I consent to use electronic records and signatures. I intend my typed name and submission of this form to be my legal signature. I agree that an electronic, digital, typed, drawn, scanned, or photographed signature and an electronic copy of this agreement have the same force as an ink signature and paper original to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
