Star Wars Comic-Con Submission Agreement

By G4TV Staff - Posted Jun 23, 2009


Video Submission Agreement (the "Agreement")

BY CHECKING THE BOX THAT READS "I HAVE READ AND CONSENT TO THE VIDEO SUBMISSION AGREEMENT," I EXPRESSLY AGREE TO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS, MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS, AUDIO RECORDINGS AND/OR OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS (COLLECTIVELY THE "MATERIALS") SUBMITTED FOR USE BY LUCASFILM, LTD., G4 MEDIA, INC. ("G4") AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSEES, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AND AFFILIATED AND RELATED ENTITIES (COLLECTIVELY, "LICENSEE").

  1. In consideration for the opportunity to appear within audiovisual content accompanying a Star Wars panel at the 2009 Comic-Con Convention and related programming on the G4 cable network, the value which is fully recognized herein, I grant Licensee the irrevocable, non-exclusive license to photograph, reproduce, transmit, telecast and otherwise exploit (collectively "Exhibit") my Materials, including without limitation, all images, first and last names, hometowns,  likenesses, voices and sounds connected with the Materials, in any manner, in any and all media now or hereafter devised, in perpetuity, throughout the universe, including without limitation, (a) in connection with developing, producing, Exhibiting, distributing, promoting, advertising, marketing and otherwise exploiting (collectively, "Exploit") "The Star Wars Comic-Con Spectacular!" program or any other program or production (collectively, the "Program"); (b) within audiovisual materials displayed as part of any Lucasfilm discussion panel; (c) for inclusion within the Lucasfilm Star Wars historical archives, or (d) for any other purpose as Licensee may determine in its sole discretion.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I agree that the rights granted hereunder shall include Licensee's perpetual, worldwide right to edit, telecast, rerun, record, publish, reproduce, use, license, print, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or otherwise exploit, in any manner and in any media or forum (now known or later developed), the Materials, in whole or in part, without any monetary compensation to me.  I acknowledge, though, that Licensee is not obligated to show or otherwise use the Materials. All Materials become the sole property of Licensee and will not be acknowledged or returned.
     
  2. I represent and warrant that I am the age of majority in my home state and a legal U.S. resident, that the Materials are my original creation, and that I have the full right and authority to grant Licensee the permissions set forth in this Agreement without violating the rights of any third party. I further represent and warrant that I have complied with all submission guidelines and that any actors, music, voice-overs, videos, images and other copyrighted content contained in the Materials have been properly licensed.  Licensee may request a copy of such permissions at any time.  If minors are featured in the Materials, I warrant and represent that I have obtained appropriate written permissions from their parents/guardians. I understand that evidence of such may be requested by Licensee at any time.  I further warrant and represent that I have not used parties who:  1) are represented under contract (e.g., by a talent agent or manager) that would limit or impair Licensee's ability to show the video in any media form; 2) have an acting or modeling contract that would make their appearance in the Materials a violation of any third party rights; 3) are under a merchandising agreement; or 4) are under any other contractual relationship, including but not limited to guild and/or union memberships, that may prohibit them from participating fully in this promotion, or from allowing Licensee to use royalty-free, the Materials worldwide in all media in perpetuity. If, in the sole discretion of Licensee, the Materials constitute copyright infringement or a violation of any other third party right or a violation of any ordinance, regulation, or law, I understand that my Materials will be disqualified.
     
  3. The personal information I have provided is true and accurate; the e-mail address and telephone number that I have provided is my personal e-mail address and telephone number; and I grant to Licensee permission to contact me directly by e-mail or telephone.
     
  4. I agree that I will not assert, maintain or assist any party in asserting or maintaining against Licensee, any claim, action, suit or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever, related to the use of the Materials (including, without limit, in the Exploitation of the Program), including but not limited to, those grounded upon copyright or trademark infringement, invasion of privacy, defamation, false light, rights or publicity, other civil rights, or any other reason in connection with the use of the Materials (including, without limit, in the Exploitation of the Program) and I expressly release Licensee from any and all liability, claims, injuries, losses or damages in connection with any of the foregoing. 
      
  5. I specifically understand and agree that the release contained in this Agreement extends to all claims, whether or not presently matured, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and further agree that such acknowledgment constitutes an essential and material term of this Agreement.  In that regard, I hereto expressly and voluntarily waive any and all rights and benefits conferred upon any of them by the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, or any similar provision of another state, which provides as follows:
    A general release does not extend to claims which 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 the settlement with the debtor.
    I acknowledge the significance and consequence of this Agreement and of such specific waiver of Section 1542 and expressly consent that this Agreement shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected claims, demands, obligations, and causes of action, if any.
     
  6. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between me and Licensee with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous agreements, both oral and written.  All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement, or the rights and obligations hereunder, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules.  Further, I hereby agree to submit generally and unconditionally to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of a court of competent jurisdiction located in Marin County, California.
     
  7. I understand that all personal information collected will be used in accordance with G4 Media Inc.'s privacy policy.  I may be sent promotional material related to Licensee's other entertainment options. Please refer to G4's privacy policy located at http://www.g4tv.com/g4/about/privacylegal/index.html#privacy for important information regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.
