TAILGATE RIVALS

CONTENT SUBMISSION AGREEMENT

By submitting a video, photo, or other content ("Content") to Tailgate Rivals, you agree to the following.

1. You keep ownership

You continue to own your Content. Nothing here transfers ownership to us. You remain free to post, sell, or license your Content anywhere else.

2. What you're giving us permission to do

You grant Tailgate Rivals and its successors and assigns ("we" or "us") a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to:

  1. (a) host, store, reproduce, stream, distribute, publicly display, and publicly perform the Content;
  2. (b) edit, crop, trim, caption, excerpt, dub, translate, combine with other material, and otherwise create derivative works from the Content, including compilations, episodes, highlight reels, and promotional cuts;
  3. (c) use the Content in advertising, marketing, promotion, and sponsored or brand-integrated programming; and
  4. (d) exercise all of the above on the Tailgate Rivals website, on our YouTube channel and social media accounts, on third-party platforms and distribution partners, and in any other media now known or later developed.

This license includes the right to sublicense these rights to platforms, distributors, and sponsors as needed to carry out the uses described above.

3. Your name, image, and voice

If you appear or are heard in the Content, you also grant us the right to use your name, image, likeness, voice, social media handle, and biographical information in connection with the Content and with the promotion of Tailgate Rivals, including in sponsored content. You waive any right to inspect or approve any finished use.

4. What you're confirming is true

By submitting, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are 18 years of age or older.
  • You created the Content, or you otherwise own or control all rights necessary to grant the license in Section 2.
  • Every person who is recognizable in the Content has given you permission for them to appear and for the uses described here, and no one appearing in the Content is under 18.
  • The Content does not contain any third-party material — including music, logos, artwork, film or television footage, or other copyrighted work — that you do not have the right to include.
  • The Content was not obtained by trespassing and does not violate any venue, stadium, school, or event policy that applies to you.
  • The Content is not defamatory, does not invade anyone's privacy, and does not violate any law.

5. If something goes wrong

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any third-party claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of a breach of your representations in Section 4.

6. No obligation to use, and no compensation

We are not required to publish, feature, or use your Content, and we may remove or decline it at any time for any reason. You are not entitled to any payment, credit, royalty, or other compensation for our use of the Content, though we may credit you at our discretion.

7. Contests and prizes

If your submission is entered into a contest, giveaway, or promotion, the official rules for that promotion also apply and control in the event of a conflict with this agreement.

8. Text messages

Providing your phone number does not sign you up for marketing messages. We will only send you promotional or marketing texts if you separately opt in by checking the box for that purpose. You can stop them at any time by replying STOP. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to marketing texts is not required to submit Content or to enter any contest.

9. Removal requests

If you later want your Content taken down, contact us at [EMAIL] and we will remove it from the Tailgate Rivals website within a reasonable period. Because Content may already have been published, distributed, or incorporated into derivative works, we cannot recall or remove Content that has already been released, and the license in Section 2 survives as to those uses.

10. Copyright complaints

If you believe Content on our site infringes your copyright, contact our designated agent at [DMCA AGENT]. We remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers in accordance with the DMCA.

11. Other terms

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. This agreement, together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, is the entire agreement between us regarding your Content.
