A Video Release Form, or Model Release Form, is a document used by individuals or videographers (known as a "Releasee") to obtain the consent of another person (known as a "Releasor") to use a video for personal or commercial purposes.  

A video release form is used when videos of people are taken, and the videographer wants to publish the videos. Consent, through a video release form, must be obtained before publishing such videos. Such consent is necessary for the individual or videographer to avoid copyright infringement issues. 

Under this specific template, the rights to these videos are given free of charge - without any consideration or payment. 

Furthermore, the Releasor, in this form, waives the right to any compensation, including but not limited to any royalties, arising from the use of the videos. 

The Releasor understands and agrees that all videos are the property of the Releasee and will not be returned to the Releasor.

This grant of authorisation includes publications by the Releasee’s on mediums including, but not limited to, the Internet, e-mail, magazines, flyers, advertisements.
