Alumni Reunion Digital Archives Personal Submissions Release and License 

This document is called the “Release” and it allows Emerson College and individuals or organizations authorized by Emerson College to use certain photographs, video and/or audio recordings, written works, performance works, and other materials I  submit in connection with an Emerson project to gather personal accounts and creative works (“Personal Submissions”) relating to community members’ experiences during their enrollment at Emerson College (“Alumni Archives Project”) without restrictions. The Release is  submitted to Emerson College, and to any person or organization authorized by  Emerson College, referred to together as “Emerson.”  

I have received good and valuable consideration, including the opportunity to participate in the Alumni Archives Project. In exchange, I give the following rights to Emerson College: 

• This is a non-exclusive license to Emerson and this document does not prevent me from licensing the Personal Submissions to other entities or from sharing or publishing them on my own, subject to applicable laws or terms that might govern any agreements I may make with third parties. Emerson is not providing me any legal advice about such agreements. 
• I hereby license Emerson the complete rights to use the Personal Submissions and electronic files containing them or submitted with them in any way. They may be used or displayed anywhere in the world, for any reason, and Emerson may edit or modify them at any time as it sees fit in accordance with its mission. Emerson may use the Personal Submissions in any media it chooses, including, but not limited to,  social media, websites, and exhibits. Emerson may store the Personal Submissions in archives and make them publicly available. 
• I give Emerson the right to use names, voices, likenesses, and biographical information about me (“Information”) in connection with the Personal Submissions in any manner, for any reason, anywhere in the world and in any media it chooses,  including, but not limited to, social media, websites, and exhibits. Emerson may store the Information in archives and make it publicly available.

• I understand that Emerson has no obligation to use the Personal Submission and  Information I provide. 
• I have no claims against Emerson concerning the Personal Submissions and  Information and will not bring any claims. By claims, I mean legal claims and demands including infringement of copyright or other intellectual property rights, libel, invasion of privacy, or violation of the right of publicity.
