(“WIIM”) and any of their affiliated companies, its agents, partners and others working for them or on their behalf, and their respective licensees, successors, designees, and assigns (collectively, the “Permitted Parties”) the right, if WIIM so chooses, to reproduce, publish, display, distribute or otherwise use and exploit my image, picture, performance, likeness, voice, name, social media handle or avatar, and/or my biographical information, along with any interviews, films, videotapes, recordings, podcasts and photographs of me (collectively, my “Likeness”), and, if I own a company, the name of my company, the logo of my company, the city and state in which my company is located (collectively, “Company Information”), as well as any materials or assets I provide (“Content”), and comments, endorsements, testimonials and/or statements made by me concerning WIIM (collectively, the “Statements”), in any manner, media, or venue whatsoever (whether now known or hereafter devised), anywhere in the world in perpetuity for any purpose, including, without limitation, for advertising, marketing, trade and promotional purposes, in materials of any kind (collectively, the “Materials”).

I agree, on behalf of myself and, if applicable, my company, that any contributions I or, if applicable, others from my company make in connection with the Materials are a work-for-hire for WIIM for copyright purposes, or if for any reason held not to be a work-for-hire (e.g., Likeness, Content Company information), I, on behalf of myself and my company, shall retain ownership and will provide to WIIM a fully paid up, license free right, title and interest I or my company may have in and to the Materials.

I agree that the rights granted by me in this Agreement do not conflict with any commitment on my or, if I own a company, my company’s part. I agree to (i) ensure that my statements to the Permitted Parties reflect my honest opinions, beliefs, and experiences with WIIM, (ii) ensure that such statements do not include representations about WIIM that are untrue, misleading, unsubstantiated or deceptive; and (iii) in the event I make any public statements in connection with Permitted Parties, shall clearly and conspicuously disclose my affiliation with Permitted Parties (as applicable) in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonial in Advertising (and related FTC guidance). I agree to immediately inform WIIM of any material changes in beliefs, findings or opinions that I have expressed to any Permitted Parties. WIIM has the right to modify, edit, shorten, alter, and combine with other material my Content, Likeness, Statements, Company Information or the Materials, so long as the Materials are not materially changed.
