For valuable consideration received, and intending to be legally bound, I hereby grant to The Pennsylvania State University (“Penn State”), on behalf of WPSU Penn State (“WPSU”), a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free right and license to use, reproduce, and publicly perform as part of any audio broadcasting activity (via radio, internet, webcasts, podcasts, other streaming services, original programming, or through any other communication medium existing or later created) of the musical work(s) I upload to [website / portal name] and any part thereof (“Work”). Furthermore, I hereby authorize and consent to the use of my name, likeness, and voice in the Work in conjunction with exercise of the license granted hereunder.
I hereby waive all rights and release Penn State, WPSU and all their affiliates, trustees, officers, agents and employees from any claims, damages or liabilities arising from or related to exercise of the licensed rights and permissions hereunder to the Work and my name, likeliness, and voice or any moral rights therein. I have no right of approval or inspection and no claim for compensation arising out of or in connection with, any exercise of the licensed rights and permissions hereunder, whether a particular exercise is known or unknown to me.
I hereby represent that I am over the age of 18 years old and that I am competent to contract in my own name. I represent that the Work: (a) is my original work, and (b) to the best of my knowledge, the Work and the license granted hereunder does not infringe the rights of any third party. I further represent that I have read this Broadcast License and Release, fully understand its content, meaning and effect and agree to be bound by it.
This Broadcast License and Release constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and shall cancel and supersede any and all prior communications, representations, agreements, or undertakings, whether oral, written, or otherwise, between the Parties relating to such subject matter. This Broadcast License and Release may only be modified, amended, or supplemented by a written document signed by duly authorized officers of both parties. If, for any reason, any part of this Broadcast License and Release is adjudicated invalid, unenforceable, or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability, or legality of any remaining portions of this Broadcast License and Release, which shall remain in full force and effect as if the original Broadcast License and Release had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable, or illegal part. Any dispute arising from this Broadcast License and Release shall be adjudicated in a Court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
