A Media Release Form is a document used by individuals (known as a "Releasee") to obtain the consent of a parent/legal guardian (known as a "Releasor") to use the image/video of their child for personal or commercial purposes.
A Media Release Form is used when video, photos or images of a minor is taken, and the other party wants to publish it generally for commercial purposes. Consent of the parent / legal guardian, through a media release form, must be obtained before publishing such images/video of the minor. Such consent is necessary for the individual or photographer to avoid copyright infringement issues.
Under this specific template, the rights to these images/videos are given free of charge - without any consideration or payment.
Furthermore, the parent / legal guardian in this form waives the right to any compensation, including but not limited to any royalties, arising from the use of the photos.
The parent / legal guardian understands and agrees that all photos/videos are the property of the Releasee and will not be returned
