License to Use Media

As creator and/or copyright owner of the submitted media, and in such capacity I seek to grant certain Rights defined below to the National Association for the Education of Young Children (“NAEYC”).  I have the legal right to grant the Rights and have obtained any and all necessary permissions to distribute the Licensed Media to NAEYC. 
 
I hereby grant to the NAEYC a non-exclusive, assignable, sublicensable, right and license to publish, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, transmit, and use the Licensed Media, in any form, in whole or in part, in conjunction, combination or compilation with other materials, in any and all media, now existing or yet to be invented, in all languages and without geographic limitations during the term of copyright, and any extensions and/or renewals, regardless of the frequency of publication by NAEYC (the “Rights”).  
 
I understand that:
 
(i) this license allows NAEYC to sublicense the Rights to third-parties, including digital database services and products or an entity under contract to publish and/or distribute any NAEYC resource; and
 
(ii) NAEYC is authorized to convert the Licensed Media to any physical or digital format, that this conversion might alter the format or graphic presentation of the Licensed Media, and such alteration is allowed at NAEYC’s sole discretion; and
 
(iii) any republication or use of the Licensed Media is at NAEYC’s sole discretion. NAEYC is not obligated to republish or use the Licensed Media in any way; and
 
(iv) NAEYC shall own all translations, derivative works, compilations, collective works and other adaptations that contain the Licensed Media, but shall not claim or attempt to register copyright or other ownership of the Licensed Media; and
 
 (v)  I will only be compensated if NAEYC chooses, in its sole discretion, to exercise its Rights and use the Licensed Media. The rate of any such compensation will be made in accordance with NAEYC’s posted Rate Schedule located at www.naeyc.org. The Rate Schedule is subject to change at any time without warning at NAEYC’s sole discretion.
I have ensured that all recognizable people depicted in the Licensed Media, or their parent or legal guardian, have signed media releases in the form provided by NAEYC.  I will provide NAEYC with a copy of all signed releases along with my Licensed Media submission.
