FAQ
Do these templates include language for international shoots?
Most templates cover general usage permissions, but international shoots may require additional clauses or translations. Always consult a lawyer familiar with local laws (e.g., GDPR in the EU) to ensure compliance before use. Some templates include a note about jurisdiction, which you can expand upon.
What’s the difference between a ‘limited’ and ‘unlimited’ release in these forms?
A limited release restricts how an image can be used (e.g., 'website only' or 'one-year campaign'), while an unlimited release allows broader use (e.g., 'perpetual, worldwide commercial'). Choose based on your project scope—unlimited may justify higher model compensation but should be negotiated upfront.
Can I use these forms for minors if I’m not their guardian?
No, these templates include a section for a parent/guardian signature, but you must never sign on behalf of a minor. Always have the legal guardian present during signing and verify their ID to avoid liability. Some templates explicitly state this requirement—double-check before use.
