In making this and subsequent submissions of my videos, audio and images (“Footage”) for possible use in, and in connection with development of, and advertising and promoting, the documentary film project “Out of Breath” (“Program”) on the subject of sleep apnea, you agree:
1. GTN Creative, LLC and its successors, agents, affiliates, licensees and assigns (singly and together, ”GTN”) shall have the right to use (or to not use) the Footage, or any part thereof, and to edit same;
2. GTN has the right to copyright the Program in its name, without limiting in any way your right to use Footage in any way you choose apart from the Program;
3. GTN has the right go exhibit and exploit the Program by any and all methods and means in any and all media, throughout the world in perpetuity;
4. If GTN elects to include the Footage or part thereof in the Program, GTN will notify you by email (“Notice”) to the email address (if any) you supply after clicking your agreement and consent below; with the Notice, GTN will include a more formal consent and release and if you want the Footage to be included in the Program, then within 10 business days (“Response Period”) after you receive the Notice, you need to:
4.1. Sign, date, scan, and email the completed release from you (“Your Release”) back to GTN; Your Release will confirm that you have no right, and you waive any right, to review the Program or the manner in which the Footage has been incorporated into the Program, and you waive any rights you may otherwise have in connection therewith;
4.2. If there are people (“Participants”) in the Footage other than you, attached to Your Release must be a list of the names of everyone other than you who appears in the Footage and his or her (or other preferred pronoun) email address;
4.3. With Your Release, you must include a signed and dated release similar to Your Release but from each Participant; if anyone is under the age of 18, such release (including from you if you are under the age of 18) must be signed by such person’s parent or guardian);
4.4. With Your Release you will include the names of yourself and any Participant who wishes to receive a thank you acknowledgment (“Credit”) in the end credits of the Program among the other such acknowledgement credits; such Credit shall be the sole consideration for the signed releases (there will be no payment or other form of consideration for the signed releases).
5. As part of the Notice GTN may include an invitation for you to become more involved with the Program, including without limitation participating in Zoom interviews, supplying additional Footage, or otherwise as indicated in the Notice; if you wish to become so involved, you will so indicate when you send back Your Release. You will have no obligation to participate further, and if you do not indicate in Your Release that you wish to further participate, you will be deemed to have declined the invitation.
6. If within the Response Period GTN has not received the information required in Paragraphs 4.1 through 4.4 above:
6.1. You will be deemed to have decided not to include the Footage or any part thereof in the Program and GTN will not include in the Program the Footage or any part thereof;
6.2. GTN will not return the Footage to you, so it can confirm it has complied with Paragraph 5.1 above;
6.3. Neither you nor any Participant will receive the Credit.
