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.
