I hereby authorize the Food Bank For New York City and its subsidiaries, affiliates and any individual or entity acting with its permission (“Food Bank”) to exploit, publicly display, reproduce, distribute, alter or otherwise use in perpetuity and in all places my name, voice, likeness, photograph, words and/or any other representation of me or my property (“Photo”) in connection with any video, audio, broadcast, cable, electronic, print or other media (“Media”) it creates, distributes, displays, transmits, exhibits or otherwise uses in connection with any internal or external advertising, promotional, fundraising, public relations, educational or other Food Bank program-related purposes (collectively, the “Materials”).
I understand and hereby agree that this authorization is granted to the Food Bank without any prior, current or future payment or other compensation or notice to me or approval by me, and further, that I will not have any rights of ownership or otherwise with respect to any Media used by the Food Bank and that the Food Bank may not necessarily use my Photo in any Media at any time.
Food Bank shall be the exclusive owner of all rights, including copyright, in the Materials. I hereby irrevocably transfer, assign, and otherwise convey to Food Bank my entire right, title, and interest, if any, in and to the Materials and all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the Materials arising in any jurisdiction throughout the universe in perpetuity, including all registration, renewal, and reversion rights, and the right to sue to enforce such copyrights against infringers.
I hereby declare that I have every right to grant this authorization to the Food Bank without violating any other agreements or commitments I have made or giving rise to any consent, payment or other compensation due to any other person or entity thereunder.
I hereby release, discharge and hold harmless the Food Bank from any and all liability arising out of or relating to the foregoing.
I have read and understand this authorization and hereby acknowledge and agree that this authorization is a legally binding contract between me (and my heirs, assigns, executors and administrators) and the Food Bank and may not be waived, modified or amended by me without the express written consent of the Food Bank.
All matters arising out of or relating to this authorization shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction). Any claim or cause of action arising under this Agreement may be brought only in the federal and state courts located in New York, and I hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
