What’s Included in a Model Release Template?
ContractsCounsel’s Model Release template contains the following sections.
Grant of Rights and Usage
These sections of the agreement explain what rights are granted to the company or producer, such as if they have worldwide, perpetual, and non-exclusive permission to use, modify, and publish the content featuring the model.
It’s important to acknowledge that the producer has full ownership of the content, preventing legal disputes or usage restrictions.
Representations and Warranties
The model represents and warrants that no other party is granted an exclusive license, so that the producer has a full license to use the content and model’s likeness.
They also state that they’re not subject to union or guild agreements that would interfere with the producer’s use of the content rights.
The model acknowledges that they’re an independent contractor, not employed by the producer.
‘I Release Producer’ and Release of Unknown Claims
This section states that the model releases the producer for all claims for libel, slander, privacy invasions, and copyright infringement. This release also includes claims related to image or likeness distortion or blurring. Releasing all known and unknown claims protects the producer against any future disputes.
An ‘I Indemnify Producer’ clause is also important as it holds the producer harmless against all liability for any and all claims, including negligence.

Michelle T.
I am an experienced, well-rounded attorney with a background specializing in trusts and estates, contracts and business law. I have extensive experience working with simple contracts all the way up to multi-million dollar deals.
"Michelle drafted an excellent and unique Post Nuptial agreement which outlines a very specific "process" that will be used to divide assets in the event of divorce. Since assets can change value daily, traditional "splitting an asset list" methods are often outdated within a week of signing. Michelle rose to the challenge at a very reasonable price. Other, "meter man" attorneys would have charged at least 5x more. I highly recommend Michelle!"

"Alexander delivered fast, thorough, and practical legal guidance.

Highly recommend for any healthcare startup needing Florida specific legal expertise."
