The Speaker and the Speaker’s Company grants Organizer the right to publicize Speaker’s
participation in the Event and the Speech in a manner of Organizer’s choosing, including,
but not limited to, using the Speaker’s biography and likeness both before and after the
Event. The Speaker and Speaker’s Company hereby grant to Organizer the perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, royalty- free, irrevocable license to use, offer for
sale, exhibit, reproduce and distribute the Speaker Materials for use by Organizer and third
parties. The Speaker understands that the Event, including the Presentation, may be
videotaped or recorded and also may be broadcast live for the purpose of being used and
distributed globally over the internet. The Organizer, by capturing the Speaker’s
Presentation will become the copyright owner of that Recording. To the extent the Speaker
has any rights in the Recording, the Speaker hereby assigns all rights, title and interest in the
Recording to Organizer for use of the Recording by Organizer and third parties. The
authorization explicitly includes the use of my name, likeness, voice and/or pre-approved
biographical information for the purpose of publicizing any broadcast, webcast, distribution,
publication, or exhibition of the Presentation or portions thereof. Speaker hereby grants to
Organizer the right to enforce, at Organizer’s expense, any copyright or moral rights in or
attaching to the Speaker Materials provided by Speaker in relation to the Event and owned
by the Speaker or Speaker’s Company. Speaker hereby agrees to cooperate with Organizer
and to do all such things and provide all such information as reasonably required by
Organizer to allow it to enforce those rights on Speaker’s and Speaker’s Company’s behalf
and/or on Organizer’s behalf. Nothing in this Agreement shall give Speaker any recourse
against Organizer in relation to any failure to enforce those rights. Failure by Organizer to
enforce those rights at any time shall not be construed as waiving its rights to enforce any
future infringements. Without prejudice to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as preventing the Speaker or Speaker’s Company from enforcing any copyright or
moral rights independently of Organizer and applies only to Recordings or Speaker Materials
delivered at the Event.
INDEMNITY
You warrant that (i) the Speaker Materials are the Speaker’s own original materials, and (ii)
to the extent that the Speaker Materials or Recordings contain any third party intellectual
property rights or materials, that You have obtained from such third party the unrestricted,
perpetual, worldwide permission for such intellectual property or materials to be used in the
manner contemplated by, and in accordance with the licenses granted under, these
Supplemental Terms and Conditions for Speakers.
Speaker and Speaker’s Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Organizer and its sublicensees against all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable legal costs and damages, resulting from or in connection with any claim
against Organizer or its sub-licensees alleging that Organizer’s or its sub-licensee’s dealings
with the Speaker Materials infringe any third party's proprietary or intellectual property
rights.
