Here is a sample Model Release (Adult) which I offer as an example only. I am not offering this as legal advise and I recommend you seek counsel from a qualified intellectual property attorney to draft a release to suit your particular needs and in view of state and federal law. I do not represent that this release will afford you the legal protection that you think it affords or that it appears to afford. This means consult your own attorney before using any legal form.
