Film and Photo Rights

Event, date: Special Olympics World Games 2023

I hereby declare my agreement with the following listed rights:

Special Olympics Deutschland (SOD), Special Olympics Inc. (SOI) and the Special Olympics World Games Berlin 2023 Organizing Committee gGmbH (LOC), Warschauer Str. 70 A, 10243 Berlin, Germany, and their sponsors may use and publish film recordings, photos and interviews for advertising, press and public relations work, which are produced within the framework of the World Games (e.g. recognition contests, associated competitions) and within the framework of the "Host Town Program" on which participants are recognizable (hereinafter ‘footage’).

SOD/SOI/LOC may only publish a modified footage after consultation and approval with the institution and/or the participant or his/her legal representative as mentioned above.

We expressly agree to the recognizability of the participants on the recordings as well as to the broadcast and recognizability of the voices with/without naming in audio and/or audio-visual media (especially on the internet). There is no claim to naming. Insofar as the recording reveals information about my ethnic origin, religion or health (e.g. skin colour, headgear, glasses), my consent also refers to this information.

SOD/SOI/LOC receives the right of use to the recordings unlimited in terms of time, content and space for the purpose of advertising, press and public relations work, as well as for use on the SOD/LOC homepages and social media channels, in particular the right to copy, distribute, publish, exhibit and publicly reproduce in the following media: Websites of the association, Intranet and company contacts of the association, (Print) publications of the association, Press releases of the association, social media channels of the association.

Any promotional use (e.g. as part of a campaign or as cover motif of printed matter with individual participants) is SOD/SOI/LOC only permitted after consultation with the institution and/or the participant or his/her legal representative. Information on the internet is accessible worldwide and can be found using search engines and linked to other information from which personality profiles about me can be created under certain circumstances. Information posted on the internet, including photos and videos, can be easily copied and redistributed. There are specialized archiving services whose goal is to permanently document the state of certain websites at certain dates. This may mean that information published on the internet can still be found elsewhere even after it has been deleted from the original site.

This consent is voluntary. I can refuse it without giving reasons and without having to fear any disadvantages. I can also revoke this consent at any time in text form (e.g. letter, e-mail). My recording will then be removed immediately by SOD/SOI/LOC to the extent required by law and will no longer be used. If I am pictured on the recording together with other persons, the recording does not have to be removed, but it is sufficient if I am immediately made unrecognizable on the recording (e.g. by pixilation).

SOD/SOI/LOC will not sell footage or otherwise receive a specific financial benefit from the use of footage. Special Olympics may receive charitable donations from the Sponsor.

I understand I will receive no compensation for the use of footage. I understand that neither SOD/SOI/LOC has an obligation to use footage.

There is no entitlement to remuneration or reimbursement of expenses. Any claims against SOD/SOI/LOC and/or against third parties in connection with this consent and transfer of rights do not exist.

By giving my consent, I agree that the recordings made of me may be used, edited and published by SOD/SOI/LOC as described in this consent form.
