During the course of the Imagine, Innovate, Inspire Foundation (“the Program”), we may use photographs, videos, films, or other media to record or otherwise capture your child’s image or voice or material resulting from his or her activities or performances (collectively, “Images and Recordings”). The Imagine, Innovate, Inspire Competition is abbreviated as I3 in the following document and elsewhere for the competition.

Neither you nor anyone else acting on behalf of your child will have any right to approve or be paid for the Team’s use of the Images and Recordings.
Neither you nor anyone else acting on behalf of your child will have any right to make a legal claim as a result of the Team’s use of the Images and Recordings, and any such claim is covered by the “Assumption of Risk, Release from Liability and Identification” that you have signed.
