Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein grants Producer or Sponsor ownership in or to, and for clarity I shall retain, all right, title and interest in and to any content which I or a third party (other than the Releasees) may film, tape, photograph and otherwise record of myself or my activities in and in connection with and during my participation in the Program (including, without limitation, photographs, videos or other content that I submit as part of my application to participate in the Program) (the “Self Filmed Material”); provided however, that I hereby grant to Producer and Sponsor a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, create derivative works based on, distribute, display and perform any Self Filmed Material (i) in and in connection with the Program, (ii) to advertise and promote the Program and Sponsor, and (iii) for such other uses as Sponsor may determine in Sponsor’s sole discretion.

I understand that I will not be paid any money or given any other goods or services for giving Sponsor the rights listed in this Agreement and that the consideration for this agreement is Sponsor’s consideration of me to appear in the Program and the possible exposure of me on digital or other media platforms.
- I hereby authorize Sponsor, and any person or entity designated by Sponsor, to investigate, access and collect information about me, about any of the statements made in this Application, any supporting documents and any other documents that I have signed or provided or do sign or provide in connection with my application to be selected as a participant in the Program, or any other written or oral statements that I may make in connection therewith. I further agree to voluntarily submit to and complete a background check, in accordance with applicable laws, and execute all documents required by Sponsor in connection with such background check. I authorize Sponsor to secure information about me from any current or former employers, associates, family members, educational institutions, government agencies, credit reporting agencies, and any references I provide or that are developed in the course of such investigation, and I irrevocably authorize such parties to provide information concerning me to Sponsor. I hereby authorize Sponsor to investigate and obtain copies of my employment records and governmental records, including but not limited to, any motor vehicle records, criminal records, and credit and/or consumer report(s). I acknowledge and agree that any such information obtained by Sponsor pursuant to this paragraph or otherwise may be used for purposes of determining whether I shall be selected for participation in the Program.

- I acknowledge that there is a possibility that after the execution of this release, I may discover facts or incur or suffer claims which were unknown or unsuspected at the time this agreement was executed and which, if known by me at that time, may have materially affected my decision to execute this release. I acknowledge and agree that by reason of this release, and the release of liability contained in the preceding paragraph, I am assuming any risk of such unknown facts and such unknown and unsuspected claims. I have been advised of the existence of Section 1542 of the Arizona Civil Code, which provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE WHICH, IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Notwithstanding Section 1542 of the Arizona Civil Code (or similar laws of any other relevant jurisdiction(s)), this release shall constitute a full release of liability in accordance with its terms. I knowingly and voluntarily waive the provisions of Section 1542, as well as any other statute, law or rule of similar effect, and acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this release and that without such waiver, Sponsor would not have accepted this release or the application.
- This agreement shall be deemed to be entered into in Los Angeles County, Arizona, and shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona applicable to agreements executed and fully carried out within Arizona, excluding its conflict of laws provisions. I understand and agree that, if any controversy or claim is not otherwise resolved through direct discussions or mediation, it shall then be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in the County of Los Angeles, and administered by the American Arbitration Association, in accordance with its Arbitration Rules and Procedures or subsequent versions thereof (“AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules for selection of an arbitrator shall be followed, except that the arbitrator shall be experienced in the entertainment industry and licensed to practice law in the State of Arizona or a retired Arizona judge; and that any and all disputes, claims, and causes of actions arising out of or connected with the Contest or any prize awarded shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action.
- In the event of a claimed breach of this agreement by Sponsor (or any other party, if any), I acknowledge that any potential damage that I may suffer is not irreparable and that an award of monetary damages would be sufficient relief. Accordingly, I agree that I shall not have the right to terminate or rescind this agreement or to seek or obtain any form of injunctive or equitable relief in connection with the Program or the development, production, distribution or exhibition thereof. I acknowledge that the rights granted hereunder by me are unique; that a breach of this agreement by me would cause Sponsor, Producer and Distributor (and other parties) to suffer irreparable damage; and that Sponsor, its successors, licensees and assigns, shall have the right to injunctive or equitable relief and all other available remedies in the event of a breach hereof by me.
- Without limiting the foregoing, any provision of this release that is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions hereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provision of this agreement invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. Sponsor may freely assign, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under this agreement. I may not assign nor delegate any of my rights and obligations under this agreement, and any purported assignment shall be null and void. I am not relying on any statements or representations not expressly included herein. This release includes the entire agreement between Sponsor (and/or any Releasees) and me regarding the subject matter hereof and may only be amended or modified by written document signed by Sponsor and me (other than matters with respect to which Sponsor retains the discretion to determine as expressly provided herein). Signatures may be delivered by computer or other electronic means, which shall be valid as original signatures.
