In connection with the Event, Operation Gratitude and its agents and representatives intend to take photographs, motion pictures and/or sound recordings (“the recordings”) for use in connection with fundraising and publicity purposes. In consideration of my participation and appearance in the Event, I hereby authorize Operation Gratitude to record my name, image, voice and performance on film, tape or otherwise for use in connection with the foregoing purposes. I agree that the Recordings may be edited as desired and used in whole or in part for any and all broadcasting, audio-visual, and/or exhibition purposes in any manner or media, in perpetuity, throughout the world.
No excerpts, including my name, voice, likeness or statements will be used for any other purpose. The recordings may be broadcast by means of television, radio, and/or internet and distributed and exhibited by such other methods or means, whether now known or hereafter devised, as Operation Gratitude may from time to time elect, in perpetuity. I understand that I have no rights to the Event or any benefits derived there from.
I consent to the use of my name, likeness, voice and biographical material about me in connection with promotion of Operation Gratitude and/or the Event.
I represent that I have the right to enter into this Agreement and that my performance and the rights I have granted in this Agreement will not conflict with or violate any commitment or understanding I have with any other person or entity. I understand that the Operation Gratitude care package assembly Event is being held on private property and that I will be packing boxes of goods to send to U.S. Military and other service personnel. I freely and voluntarily assume the risk of any and all injuries or property damage that may occur within or on any portion of these premises, including the parking lot and/or other Event locations.
Further, I release and forever discharge Operation Gratitude, the owners of the property, all volunteers, agents and associates and all others for any and all claims, causes of action, demands, damages, or costs I now have, or in the future may have for personal injuries or property damage (including attorney fees) resulting from my visits to the premises, or the parking lot and/or other Event locations.

I understand and expressly waive all rights under California Civil Code section 1542 (or comparable statutes in other states): “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” I have read and understand this Waiver and Release of Liability.
