Network shall own all rights, including copyright, in the Network Content.  Network shall forever have the right to use, and license others to use, the Materials as incorporated in Network Content, in whole or in part, an unlimited number of times, in all languages, in any and all media (whether now known or hereafter devised) anywhere in the world, and in connection with the advertising, sale, promotion, marketing, merchandising, distribution, and any and all other types of exploitation of the Network Content, Network, and any of its products, other programs, services, or otherwise.

I waive the right to seek injunctive relief that I may have in connection with this Release.  I hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless Network from any and all claims, demands, and/or causes of action that I may have, including, without limitation, claims based upon defamation, invasion of privacy, or any other matter arising from any use of the Network Content.  I represent and warrant that I have the right to enter into this Release, that the permission of no other person is needed in order for me to grant the rights in this Release to Network, and that neither I nor anyone acting for me gave, or agreed to give, anything of value to any officer, director, employee, or agent of Network to secure the inclusion of the Materials in the Network Content, except for the Fee provided below.  I further represent that Network’s use of the Materials as permitted herein will not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party.

I recognize that Network is relying on my representations and warranties and the rights I am granting in this Release and that a breach thereof would cause Network irreparable injury and damage that cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in an action at law; therefore, I hereby expressly agree that Network shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent and/or cure any breach or threatened breach of this Release by me.  

I agree that no sum shall be due to me for execution of this Release and Network shall not be obligated to pay me or any third party any sum whatsoever, regardless of the time or method of any future use of the Network Content.
