By registering and attending this event, I confirm that I am 18 years old or older and that I have the legal capacity to enter into this release.

I agree that Techstars and its partners, respective affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, successors and assigns (individually and collectively, the "Producers") may film and photograph me, livestream and record my likeness and voice during the Event and that Producers will be the exclusive owner of the results and proceeds of the Event with the right to use and license others to use the Event in all media (whether now known or later developed), throughout the universe, and in perpetuity.

It is agreed that no payments, residuals, reuse fees or other compensation shall be made to me or any other party in connection with my attendance and/or participation in the Event. To the maximum extent permitted by law, I hereby release, discharge and agree to hold harmless and defend Techstars, its legal representatives and assigns, and all persons acting under its permission or authority from any and all liability, including but not limited to, any liability for what might be deemed to be misrepresentation or defamation of me, my character, or my person or that of my minor child or children, as applicable, due to any use, modification, distortion or otherwise faulty or altered reproduction of my/my child or children’s voice(s). In consideration for participating in a photograph, video and/or sound recording session during the Event and other valuable consideration, I hereby release, discharge and agree to hold harmless Techstars7 and its respective legal representatives and assigns from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury that may be sustained by me, or to any property belonging to me while participating in such activity, or while in, on or upon the premises where the Event is being conducted or in transportation to and from said premises. If I am a resident of California then I hereby waive California Civil Code section 1542 in connection with the foregoing, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

I acknowledge that nothing herein will obligate Producers to use my name, likeness, or any photographic, video, or audio recording of me from the Event.

I have read the above authorization, release and agreement, prior to its execution, and I am fully familiar with its contents. This release shall be binding upon me and/or my minor child(ren), and my/our respective heirs, legal representatives and assigns.  In the event that any provision of this agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, unenforceable or unconscionable, the remainder of this agreement shall remain in full force and shall be unaffected by such finding. In the event that I am a citizen of the European Union or Switzerland (or the Event is located in the same), I further acknowledge that I have received and read the additional European Union Privacy Terms provided below.
