Follow these steps to compose a legal Release Form: Identify the parties - the one who provides the authorization and the one who is granted the rights to use the property you will list later or profit from it in any shape or form. Note that you may indicate several individuals or companies and give them the opportunity to share the right of usage with other people. Describe the subject matter of the agreement. Be as precise as you can and set limits for the usage - for example, you may agree to a one-time printing of a photo that contains your likeness to let the photographer earn money from it but they will not be allowed to do it again in the future without your unequivocal consent. Indicate the compensation the authorized individual will have to pay the other party if necessary. Record the method of payment and the bank account details to facilitate the payment. Include an exclusivity clause - for instance, the person pictured in the video might be allowed to sign similar contracts with other online media, television stations, and news outlets unless otherwise stated in the form. Confirm you do not have any claims against the individual or entity you authorize at the moment of the signing. If they will breach the terms of the release, you will be allowed to notify them about it and later file a lawsuit to protect your interests.
