In short

• We can use today’s video of you in ads and social posts for the brands we film for, anywhere, with no time limit.
• We won’t change your words to say something you didn’t say, and nobody will use your face or voice to train AI.
• You’re 18 or older, and there’s no payment beyond anything you got today.

The release

1. Who this is between. This release is between you and Host Outside, a sole proprietorship based in California ("Host Outside", "we", "us"). It covers the video, audio and photos we recorded of you today (the "Recordings").
2. Permission to use. You give Host Outside permission to record, edit, use, publish and share the Recordings, including your face, likeness, voice, appearance, what you said, and your name if it comes up, in any media now known or invented later, worldwide, with no time limit. This includes paid advertising, social media, websites and other marketing.
3. The brands we work for. We make ads for brands. We may give or license the Recordings to those brands and their agencies, and they may use them on the same terms we can.
4. Editing. We may cut, shorten and reorder the Recordings and add captions, music, graphics, product shots and text. We will not change your words to make it seem you said something you did not say.
5. No AI copies. Neither we nor the brands we license the Recordings to will use them to train artificial intelligence, or to make a synthetic or digital replica of your face or voice.
6. Payment. You agree that the chance to appear, and anything we gave you today (such as a product sample), is full payment for this release. You will not receive royalties or any other payment.
7. No approval, no obligation. You do not get to approve the videos before they are used. We do not have to use the Recordings at all.
8. Ownership. Host Outside owns the Recordings, including the copyright in them. If you have any rights in what you said on camera, you give us and the brands we work for a license to use it under this release.
9. Release of claims. You release Host Outside, the brands we work for, their agencies, and each of their owners, employees and successors from any claim arising from a use this release allows, including claims for invasion of privacy, false light, misappropriation of name or likeness, right of publicity (including under California Civil Code section 3344) and copyright. This does not release any claim the law does not let you give up.
10. You can sign this. You confirm you are at least 18 years old and that nothing, such as a contract with someone else, stops you from signing this release.
11. This permission is permanent. Brands rely on this release when they run ads, so it cannot be withdrawn once you sign. If you have a concern about a video, email hello@hostoutside.com and we will look at it in good faith.
12. Your contact details. We keep your name, email and phone number as the record of this release, and to contact you about your video (for example when it goes live, or if we have a question). We do not sell them or add you to a marketing list. Our privacy policy is at hostoutside.com/privacy/.
13. Signing electronically. You agree to sign this release electronically. Tapping "Agree and sign" with your typed name, or with a signature you draw, has the same effect as signing on paper. You can save a copy after you sign, or ask for one at hello@hostoutside.com.
14. General. California law governs this release. If any part of it cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. It is the whole agreement between you and Host Outside about the Recordings.
