Consent Statement
Plain-language consent specifying permitted uses, limitations, revocation rights, and acceptance of terms. Include scope (media, geography, duration) and any payment or credit provisions tied to image use.
The Client Image Request Form documents consent, clarifies usage rights, and reduces legal risk by creating an auditable record. It helps meet privacy and copyright obligations and supports enforceability under the ESIGN Act and state UETA frameworks.
Common users include marketing, legal, compliance, and client services teams that collect imagery for identification, promotional, or recordkeeping purposes.
Organizations handling regulated data, such as healthcare or financial records, should apply industry-specific safeguards and consult counsel for complex licensing questions.
An individual who owns or controls the images should sign; include government ID reference and contact details. If images are submitted by an agent, attach written proof of agency and explicit authorization from the principal to avoid later challenges.
For businesses or organizations, the signer must have authority. Record the signer’s title, company name, and proof of authority (board resolution, power of attorney, or officer designation) to prevent disputes over consent validity.
