I consent to being photographed, filmed and/or recorded while on Wolfhouse premises or participating in Wolfhouse

I grant Wolfhouse the unrestricted right to photograph, film, record, reproduce, edit, publish, display, distribute and

written agreement with the content creator.
I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished content or the manner in which Wolfhouse uses such content.
I release Wolfhouse and its representatives from claims arising from the lawful capture, editing, publication or use of my

Participant’s participation.
The parent or legal guardian also provides the photography, video, audio and media permissions described in this
agreement with respect to the minor Participant, to the extent permitted by law.

in this agreement is intended to exclude liability that cannot legally be excluded.
