Player Name Image and Likeness Release
This release grants Down to the Felt Inc permission to record and use your identity and league-related media for Company promotion across all three divisions. It is separate from the league participation terms and privacy notice. Read the future-use withdrawal provision before accepting.
1 Company and covered divisions
“Company” means Down to the Felt Inc, a New Jersey corporation, at 80 Broad St. Suite #2M, Red Bank, NJ 07701. This release covers the Company’s Game Room Retail, Casino & Game Rentals, and Amateur Poker League divisions. It also permits the Company’s staff and service providers to create and distribute authorized materials on its behalf within this release’s scope.
2 Permission and covered material
I authorize the Company to photograph, film, record, and otherwise capture my name, player alias, image, likeness, and voice in connection with league events, league activities, and media that I provide for league use. I grant the Company a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to reproduce, edit, display, publish, distribute, and use that material for the purposes stated below while this permission is in effect. Previously captured identifiable material may be used prospectively under this release only if the Company holds the necessary rights to it. This release does not retroactively waive a claim arising from a use made before I accepted it.
3 Promotion across all three divisions
Authorized uses include league reporting and event coverage, player and winner features, tournament recaps, and Company advertising or promotion for Game Room Retail, Casino & Game Rentals, and Amateur Poker League. Distribution may include Company websites, social media, email, printed materials, venue displays, event presentations, and paid Company advertising. A photograph taken at a poker event may therefore appear in a Company advertisement for game room products or casino and game rentals. The Company may allow a venue or promotional partner to distribute a Company-approved piece for the same authorized purpose; this does not give that party an independent right to use my identity for unrelated advertising.
4 Editing and limits
The Company may crop, resize, adjust color, add captions, or combine material with other content in a manner consistent with the permitted purpose. I do not have a right to approve each permitted use. This release does not authorize a fabricated testimonial, materially misleading endorsement, defamatory use, or a synthetic impersonation of my voice or likeness. It does not authorize the sale of my likeness as standalone stock media or an unrelated third party’s endorsement campaign without additional permission.
5 Compensation and ownership
I understand that participation and authorized promotional use do not entitle me to compensation or royalties. I retain my rights in my identity and in original material I own; I grant permission rather than transfer ownership of my identity. Company-created recordings and photographs belong to the Company or the applicable creator or rights holder. If I submit material, I confirm that I have the rights needed to grant this permission. This release does not grant rights in another person’s identity or override third-party copyright.
6 Withdrawal for future use
I may withdraw this permission by emailing info@downtothefeltonline.com or writing to Down to the Felt Inc, 80 Broad St. Suite #2M, Red Bank, NJ 07701. I should identify my player name, account email if applicable, and state that I am withdrawing media consent. The Company may reasonably verify my identity and will record the date it receives my identifiable request. It will stop initiating new promotional uses and new publications of my covered identity from that date, subject to applicable law. Preparing or scheduling a piece before withdrawal does not authorize publishing it afterward.
Materials already published or distributed before withdrawal may remain available, including existing website pages, social posts, historical galleries, and previously distributed print materials, to the extent permitted by law. The Company is not required by this release alone to retrieve distributed copies or control independent third-party copies. After withdrawal, it will not repost, newly distribute, reprint, repurpose, or launch a new advertisement using my covered identity without renewed permission. It will stop ongoing paid promotional delivery under its control as promptly as reasonably practicable. Withdrawal does not erase factual tournament results or prevent retention of consent records, subject to applicable law.
7 Participation after withdrawal
I understand that accepting this release is a condition of league participation under the Company’s policy. If I withdraw, I must affirmatively accept the then-current release again before I participate in another league event, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise. Returning to an event, logging in, or being photographed does not by itself renew consent. Renewed permission operates from the new acceptance and does not eliminate the withdrawal record or retroactively authorize uses during the withdrawal period.
8 Limited release and preserved rights
To the extent permitted by law, I release the Company and those acting on its behalf from claims based solely on recording or use that actually complies with this release. This provision does not release unauthorized uses, uses outside its scope, violations of nonwaivable rights, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or unrelated personal-injury claims. Nothing in this release prevents me from reporting unlawful conduct or asserting rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
9 Affirmative acceptance
I confirm that I am at least 18 years old, have read this release, understand its company-wide promotional scope and withdrawal terms, and affirmatively agree. My separate electronic acceptance or handwritten signature is intended to document my assent. The Company will retain the version accepted, date and time, and evidence connecting the acceptance to me. New material expansions of this permission require fresh agreement.
Separate electronic acceptance wording
I have read and agree to the Player Name, Image and Likeness Release. I authorize promotion across Game Room Retail, Casino & Game Rentals, and Amateur Poker League. I understand that I may withdraw permission for future use, that previously published materials may remain, and that I must consent again before future league participation.
