*By purchasing a template, you acknowledge that you have read and understood ContractsCounsel's Terms of Use.

A Model Release is a legal document in which a model gives permission to a producer or company to appear in their content, such as photos or videos.

If you’re creating commercial work, you’ll need to have this document because it protects your content rights and prevents future legal claims.

You can purchase a Model Release template from ContractsCounsel, an online legal marketplace connecting people to qualified lawyers for drafting and reviewing contracts.

Buying this affordable template that’s been drafted by a lawyer ensures that your agreement contains all essential clauses you need.

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.
