1. Release of Rights: I hereby grant Being Shiva Foundation the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish materials containing my persona, voice, and content, for podcasting and related promotional purposes.
Explanation - This indicates that the individual is providing explicit consent to the Being Shiva Foundation to utilise their persona, voice, and any associated content in various media formats like Audio & Video Podcasts, Shorts/Reels for YouTube, Posts, andArticles for all social media platforms, Website Content, Blogs & other forms of dissemination. This grant of rights is characterised as "irrevocable," meaning it cannot be revoked or withdrawn once given, and "unrestricted," implying that the Foundation has complete freedom to utilise the provided materials without limitations or constraints. This is required as Being Shiva Foundation's team puts in a significant amount of work in researching the individuals/podcast guests their work, managing schedules, recording the podcasts, editing, reviewing, and designing lots of creative artwork for publishing. It takes a lot of effort, and a Production Cost is attached to this work. Hence, after putting in all this effort, Being Shiva Foundation must be able to publish the Podcast. Suppose the individual/podcast guest wants to revoke the right to publish after all the effort. In that case, the production costs in "Australian Dollars" must be paid by the podcast guest/individual, and an invoice will be provided.
2. Use of Content: Being Shiva Foundation may use the recordings, images, or content in any media format, including but not limited to podcasts, websites, social media, promotional materials, and other platforms associated with Being Shiva Foundation.
Explanation - The statement confirms that the Being Shiva Foundation is granted permission to utilise the recordings, images, or content in various media formats. This includes, but is not restricted to, podcasts, websites, social media platforms, promotional materials, and other platforms associated with the Foundation's activities. This grant of permission empowers the Foundation to disseminate and utilise the provided materials across multiple channels and platforms, providing a wide range of opportunities for the Foundation's promotional and informational purposes.
3. No Compensation: I understand that I am not entitled to any compensation for the use of my persona, voice, or content. This release is voluntary, and I participate in the podcast voluntarily.
Explanation - This statement acknowledges that the individual understands and accepts that they will not receive any compensation for the use of their persona, voice, or content. It emphasises that the decision to participate in the podcast and provide consent for the use of their materials is voluntary. By agreeing to this release, the individual acknowledges that they are participating in the podcast voluntarily, without expecting any form of financial remuneration.
4. Duration of Release: This release is effective indefinitely from the date of signing and applies to all uses described herein.
Explanation - This statement indicates that the release remains in effect indefinitely from the date it is signed. It applies to all uses outlined in the document, encompassing any future utilisation of the individual's materials as described in the agreement. In essence, the release continues to govern the use of the individual's materials for an indefinite duration, covering all specified purposes outlined in the document.
5. Right to Modify: Being Shiva Foundation has the right to edit, modify, adapt, or otherwise alter the recordings, images, or content at its discretion.
Explanation - This statement grants Being Shiva Foundation the authority to edit, modify, adapt, or alter the recordings, images, or content as deemed appropriate by the organisation. This discretionary right allows the Foundation to change the materials as needed to fulfil its objectives or meet specific requirements. This allows the Being Shiva Foundation to create Shorts, Reels, Posts, Audio & Video Podcasts, excerpts, Articles, Website Content and other publishing material using the full-length podcast. This also allows the Being Shiva Foundation to edit and remove the parts where guests may use inappropriate language or words, which, if published, will harm the goodwill of the Being Shiva Foundation. This also allows Being Shiva Foundation to edit & remove the private/personal details revealed during recordings.
6. Confidentiality: I understand that any sensitive or confidential information shared during the podcast should be discussed with caution, and I am solely responsible for such disclosures.
Explanation - This statement acknowledges that the individual understands the importance of caution when discussing sensitive or confidential information during the podcast. It emphasises that the individual is responsible for disclosing such information at their own risk during the recording. At times, podcast guests are talking in flow and may reveal some information that may not be better for them to be published on YouTube & other Social Media platforms. Individuals/Podcast Guests must be aware that they are speaking in front of the public and should refrain from cursing or using abusive language and language that sounds discriminatory in any sense or may incite or cause public upheaval in any manner. Whatever harm of goodwill or physical or mental/emotional, financial kind incurred due to this will be the sole responsibility of the individual/Podcast Guest and Being Shiva Foundation cannot be held liable and responsible for it.
7. Waiver of Claims: I hereby waive any right to inspect or approve the finished recordings, images, or content or any written copy that may be used in connection with them.
Explanation - This statement signifies that the individual relinquishes any entitlement to review or authorise the final versions of the recordings, images, or content and any accompanying written material associated with them. By waiving this right, the individual acknowledges that they will not have the opportunity to inspect or approve the finished products before they are used or published. This keeps the "production work", "creative work", and related decisions at Being Shiva Foundation's side, and the Foundation's team doesn't have to wait for review and approvals again and again on every edit, as this is a lengthy, time-consuming process and will disturb the Publishing Schedules. Also, the individuals/podcast guests may need to be more professional/tech-savvy enough to review and make such decisions promptly, which is not always possible. Hence, the entire review & edit, & Publishing is managed by Being Shiva Foundation without involving the individual/podcast guest.
8. Governing Law: This release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Victoria, Australia.
I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand the terms of this release. I voluntarily agree to the terms and sign this release form of my own free will.
