Thank you for voluntarily participating in the Young Storytellers Program (the “Program”) with the Young Storytellers Foundation (“YSF”). Your participation in the program (or the participation of your minor child) may involve many aspects of our work, but in being involved in the program, you may also create, modify, adapt, participate in, or otherwise work on various creative projects. In order to protect our interests, and to clearly define your rights related to your participation (or the participation of your minor child), we need you to carefully consider and sign this Release. This is an important legal document, so please take the time to fully understand it before signing. Any communications or material you create, provide to YSF or are otherwise involved in will be treated as non-confidential and will be owned by YSF. This obviously includes any creative work, but also includes less obvious things like questions, comments, ideas, images, writings, music, sounds, audiovisual works or effects, artwork, design elements, graphics, suggestions, concepts, notes or other materials (we will refer to all of these things as “Program Materials”). By signing this Release, you agree to transfer and assign to YSF all rights in the Program Materials forever. This means that YSF will have the exclusive right to do anything with those Program Materials without paying you anything, including the right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, incorporate into other works, distribute, sub-license, perform, display and otherwise exploit those Program Materials, in all languages and throughout the universe, in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter devised. By signing this Release, you acknowledge and expressly agree that you will not receive any financial or other consideration in connection with our use of the Program Materials, including, without limitation, credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that if we have specifically offered a credit in exchange for certain submissions, our agreement must be in writing, and all aspects of that credit (including determination of eligibility) will be at our sole discretion and any failure to provide credit will be a non-material failure and will not entitle you to damages or any relief at law or in equity (without limitation you will not be entitled to any injunctive or equitable relief). In connection with your participation (or the participation of your minor child) in the Program, you hereby additionally grant to YSF permission to use your name, photographic and/or video likeness, voice, information concerning you and statements made or information supplied by you, each in whole or in part, in any and all present and future media worldwide and in any channel of marketing, solely in connection with the display, fulfillment, advertising, and/or promotion of the Program, and in connection with these manners you hereby release YSF, and all of its affiliates, employees, and other agents, from any and all liability associated with our use of the foregoing. This release is a legal document that affects your legal rights, and its interpretation shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, exclusive of its provisions on conflicts of laws. You also agree that the exclusive forum and venue for any dispute relating to this Release or your participation (or the participation of your minor child) in the program shall be the State or Federal Courts located in Los Angeles County, California. By checking the box below, you agree to and accept any and all of the conditions and terms stated above. Checking this box is the same as signing a legal document.
