The Ultimate Media Release Form Bundle
— So You Can Legally Use Photos, Videos & Audio

Two simple forms — one for ownership, one for usage — with full legal rights to use someone’s image, video, or voice anywhere and forever.

Using someone’s image, voice, or footage? You need more than just permission.

This Media Release Form Bundle gives you two legal options:

  • One form that assigns full ownership rights to you

  • One form that grants you a license to use the content however you need

Both give you full legal rights to feature anyone's face, voice, or footage in your videos, photos, trainings, marketing, or social media — however you want, for as long as you want.

No chasing down approvals. No revoked permissions. Just one lawyer-drafted form that protects your content and gives you the freedom to use it anywhere — now and for years to come.

For just $99

🔥 Why You’ll Love This Media Release Form Bundle 🔥

Two lawyer-crafted forms — one for ownership, one for usage rights — so you’re legally protected
— no matter how, where, or how long you use someone’s face, voice, or footage

  • 📸 Covers All Media Types — Photos, Videos & Voice

    Use someone’s image, footage, or audio recordings in your content without legal risk — whether it’s a photo, social media video, a behind-the-scenes clip, or a training video.

  • 📝 Choose the Level of Rights You Need: Assignment or License

    Need full ownership? Use the assignment form. Just need the right to publish or promote? Use the license form. You get both at your fingertips.

  • 🔐 Use the Content Forever — Without Limits

    You'll get (1) full ownership with the Assignment Form or (2) perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-revocable usage rights with the License Form — so you can use the content on any platform, now or in the future, without asking again.

  • 👁️‍🗨️ Covers Likeness, Voice & Personal Features

    Includes airtight clauses that authorize use of identity, likeness, voice, and other personal features — even for commercial or promotional purposes.

  • 🙅‍♀️ No Take-Backs or Surprise Restrictions

    Prevents people from changing their minds and revoking permission, demanding royalties, or setting limits later — your rights are locked in from the start.

  • 🛡️ Includes Waivers, Warranties & Indemnities

    Protects you from third-party claims, publicity rights, privacy rights, and moral rights — so you’re not caught in disputes over what you’ve legally published.

  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Includes Guardian Consent for Minors

    Need to feature kids or teens? A built-in guardian consent clause ensures their legal rep signs off too — so you stay compliant and worry-free.

What’s Inside this Media Release Form Template Bundle

  • Media release form pdf

    Option 1: Full Ownership — Assignment Form

    Use the assignment form if you want complete ownership of the content. This form transfers all rights (including copyright) to you, so you can repurpose, edit, and reuse it however you want — even resell it without limits.

  • Media release form for students

    Option 2: Usage Rights — License Form

    Only need the right to use the content (not full ownership)? The license form grants you broad usage rights — so you still gain full rights to use the content however you want.

  • Terms and conditions for online courses examples

    Waivers & Identity Rights — So You’re Covered

    Both forms include waivers for moral rights, privacy rights, and publicity rights — so you can use someone's name, face, voice, or likeness for commercial purposes without take-backs or restrictions.

  • Simple media release form

    Choose Your Consideration — Payment, Credit, or Access

    To make the form legally binding, both versions include different options for “consideration” — whether that’s a one-time payment, just an acknowledgment, or simply granting the person a license in exchange.

Who This Media Release Form Bundle Is(n’t) For

This bundle is perfect for you if you're featuring real people in your content and want full legal clarity
— without needing to chase down approval later.

✅ It’s for you if you sell:

  • You record videos, take photos, or capture audio of real people for your business or brand

  • You want to use someone’s image, voice, or footage in your marketing, courses, social media, or promotional content

  • You want the option to either own the content fully (assignment) or just have usage rights (license) — depending on the situation

  • You want legal protection in case someone later claims they didn’t give permission

  • You sometimes feature minors and need guardian consent to do it right

  • You work with videographers, editors, or photographers and want to make sure everyone you film is properly cleared

🚫 It’s not for you if:

  • You're recording podcast interviews
    👉 Use the Podcast Guest Agreement instead

  • You’re recording guest interviews for YouTube or video features
    👉 Use the YouTube Guest Agreement instead

  • You’re collecting written testimonials or reviews
    👉 Use the Testimonial Release Form instead

  • You don’t feature any real people or their likeness in your content (AI doesn’t need a release… yet 😉)

    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.

  • 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.
