What you will get

You’ll receive two versions of the Media Release Form in one package:

  1. One Media Release Form by which you receive a license to the intellectual property rights of the individual contained in the recording. If you are not paying the individual, I recommend using this version, as it is the ‘fairest’ version for both parties, and it still gives you all rights necessary to edit and repurpose the photo/video/recording for any (free or paid) platform and any purpose (as long as it does not hurt the individual).

  2. One Media Release Form by which you receive full ownership of the intellectual property rights of the individual contained in your photo/video/recording. This means that you become the sole owner of all rights in your photo/video/recording. 

When can this Media Release Form be used?

This agreement can be used to obtain permission and the rights to use any contributions of any individual for any type of media that you create, including:

(a) photos;

(b) videos; and

(c) voice recordings.

This agreement can NOT be used for guests on podcasts, YouTube, or recorded Zoom meetings. For podcast guests, you need the Podcast Guest Agreement, which you can find on this page of my contract shop. For YouTube guests, you need the YouTube Guest Agreement, which you can find on this page of my contract shop. For guests on recorded online meetings, like Zoom, you need the Zoom Guest Agreement, which you can find on this page of my contract shop.

This agreement can also NOT be used for any existing content from someone else, like an influencer’s photos, a videographer’s video, or a musician’s song. To receive a license to someone else’s existing content, you need the License Agreement, which you can find on this page of my contract shop. To have all rights to someone else’s content assigned to you, you need the IP Assignment Agreement, which you can find on this page of my contract shop.

FAQ

  • After purchasing a template, you'll receive a download link on the order confirmation page and via email. This link contains a file with a permanent link to access your template.

    The permanent link gives you access to the most up-to-date version. You’ll also be notified of any major updates.

  • Absolutely! My contract templates are designed for global use, regardless of your location.

    As a contract lawyer registered with The Netherlands Bar and with extensive experience in cross-border transactions, I have crafted these templates to accommodate legal systems worldwide.

    The templates have been reviewed by licensed lawyers in France, the UK, Florida, and New York, ensuring their enforceability across different jurisdictions, including common law countries like the US and UK, civil law countries like those in the EU, and pluralist systems like Canada.

    Please note that while these contracts offer a cost-effective solution to hiring a lawyer for a tailor-made contract, they're not a substitute for personalised legal advice. These templates serve as an accessible starting point, saving you thousands of dollars that would typically be spent on bespoke contract drafting.

  • Yes! When you agree to my terms & conditions at purchase, you automatically receive lifetime access to updates for your contract.

    Every time I make a major update, you will be notified by email.

    The latest version will always be available through the link provided at purchase, ensuring your contract remains current.

  • These contract templates are not simple two-pagers but detailed and comprehensive contracts meticulously crafted to encompass all necessary protections and considerations relevant to your business.

    I prioritise thoroughness and clarity, yet my contracts are also designed with user-friendliness in mind.

    Each contract comes with helpful comments and guidance to assist you through the drafting process.

    So, while my contracts may not be condensed into a couple of pages, they offer thoroughness without sacrificing usability. With my guidance, you can confidently navigate the complexities of contracts and ensure that your business interests are well-protected.

  • The purchase of a contract does not create an attorney-client relationship.

    Although Selene Snippe has created these contracts and is a lawyer by profession, Selene Snippe is not YOUR lawyer. As this Website is NOT a law firm, purchasing or downloading a contract does not establish any kind of attorney-client relationship.

    An attorney-client relationship between you and Selene Snippe and/or Selene the Lawyer is only formed after you and Selene the Lawyer have entered into an engagement letter for specific legal services.

  • By purchasing a contract you are not entitled to email communication, calls, (virtual or physical) meetings, or any other type of communication with Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe.

    These reusable contracts do not include access to Selene the Lawyer and/or Selene Snippe or any legal advice or feedback, and these contracts are priced accordingly.

  • The contracts offered on this website are non-refundable.

    Please carefully review the details and descriptions of each contract before purchasing to ensure it fits your needs.
