In consideration of my participation in the Life Time Grand Prix, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which I hereby acknowledge, I give Life Time, Inc. my permission for such use and publicity for such purposes, according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Publicity Waiver and Release ("Agreement").

I hereby irrevocably consent to and grant Life Time the non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable and otherwise unlimited right to use, copy, distribute, display, publicly perform, publish, transmit, host, remove, retain, repurpose, reproduce, adapt, alter, edit, modify, change, add, delete, rearrange, broadcast, exhibit, exploit, prepare derivative works of and commercialize any and all such Images, (and the right to sell, rent, or sublicense such images through unlimited levels of sublicensees), through any form of communication, in any manner, in any media formats and through any media channels, now known or hereafter developed, including, without limitation, streaming, livestreaming, on-demand, television broadcast, cablecast, and satellite, audio or video recordings, radio broadcasts, press release, advertising and promotional materials, photographs or social media channels, print publications, on any platform for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without obtaining additional consent, without restriction or notification, and without compensating me in any way, and to authorize others to do the same. Without limiting the foregoing, I hereby consent, on my own behalf to Life Time's use of the Images for commercial and promotional use, including, without limitation, on corporate or employee social media channels, to create, print, and distribute trading cards, and to host fantasy leagues with their name, biographical information, Life Time Grand Prix event information, results and statistics and other public information, including but not limited to other race results and information . I waive on my own behalf any right to inspect, approve, or edit such Images as used by Life Time.
I hereby irrevocably transfer, assign, and otherwise convey to Life Time my entire right, title, and interest, if any, in and to the Images and all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in the Images arising in any jurisdiction throughout the universe in perpetuity, including all registration, renewal, and reversion rights, and the right to sue to enforce such copyrights against infringers. I acknowledge and agree that I have no right to review or approve Images before they are used by Life Time, and that Life Time has no liability to me for any editing or alteration of the Images or for any distortion or other effects resulting from Life Time's editing, alteration, or use of the Images, or Life Time's presentation of me. Any credit or other acknowledgment of me, if any, shall be determined by Life Time in Life Time's sole discretion. Life Time has no obligation to create or use the Images or to exercise any rights given by this Agreement.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I hereby irrevocably waive all legal and equitable rights relating to all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, suits, damages, and expenses, including but not limited to claims for copyright or trademark infringement, infringement of moral rights, libel, defamation, invasion of any rights of privacy (including intrusion, false light, public disclosure of private facts, and misappropriation of name or likeness), violation of rights of publicity, physical or emotional injury or distress, or any similar claim or cause of action in tort, contract, or any other legal theory, now known or hereafter known in any jurisdiction throughout the world (collectively, "Claims"), arising directly or indirectly from the Life Time's exercise of its rights under this Agreement or the production, exhibition, exploitation, advertising, promotion, or other use of the Images, and whether resulting in whole or in part from the negligence of Life Time or any other person, and I hereby covenant not to make or bring any such Claim against Life Time and forever release and discharge the Life Time from liability under such Claims. I understand that Life Time is relying on this Agreement and will incur significant expense in reliance on this Agreement, and I agree that this Agreement cannot be terminated, rescinded, or modified in whole or in part.
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 WAIVER. I also acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “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 ad that if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to any claims I may have against Life Time.
I represent and warrant to Life Time that I am at least 18 years of age, and I have full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and grant the rights granted hereunder. I further represent and warrant to Life Time that I will provide only true and correct statements and other information in connection with this Agreement, and Life Time's use of the Images and the rights and license granted hereunder do not, and will not, violate any right, including without limitation copyright, trademark, trade secret, right to privacy, or right of publicity of, or conflict with or violate any contract with or commitment made to, any person or entity, and that no consent or authorization from, or any payment to, any third party is required in connection herewith. I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Life Time from and against all Claims by third parties resulting from my breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or any of the foregoing representations and warranties.
This Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. I have not relied on any statement, representation, warranty, or agreement of Life Time or of any other person on Life Time's behalf, including any representations, warranties, or agreements arising from statute or otherwise in law, except for the representations, warranties, or agreements expressly contained in this Agreement. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Life Time may assign this Agreement and its rights hereunder, in whole or in part, to any party. This Agreement is binding on and inures to my benefit and the benefit of Life Time and our respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. All matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Minnesota without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Minnesota or any other jurisdiction). Any claim or cause of action arising under this Agreement may be brought only in the federal and state courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and I hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES LIFE TIME WITH YOUR ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL CONSENT, WAIVER, AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY, ALLOWING LIFE TIME TO PUBLICIZE AND COMMERCIALLY EXPLOIT YOUR NAME, LIKENESS, AND OTHER PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PRIVATE INFORMATION AS SET OUT ABOVE. BY SIGNING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SUE LIFE TIME.
