The Legal Risk Score of a Model Release Form Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document grants extensive rights to the Photographer to use, alter, and publish the photographs without any restrictions, which could lead to potential misuse or overuse of the images in ways not anticipated by the model.
- There is no provision for the model to revoke consent or request the cessation of the use of their images, which means once permission is granted, the model has limited control over their own image.
- The model agrees not to prosecute or bring any claims against the Photographer or their agents regarding the use of the photographs, limiting the model's legal recourse if they disagree with how their images are used.
This document appears to be heavily weighted in favor of the Photographer, giving them broad usage rights and limiting the model's rights significantly. Users familiar with model release forms might find this document more restrictive towards the model than average, which could be a significant consideration depending on the personal or professional stakes involved.
