Participant Release Agreement & Terms of Participation:
Nico Segal x Nikko Washington Collaboration.

To participate in this Collaboration and submit your art or music as a Contribution, you agree to the following terms:

In connection with my participation in the Play Together Collaboration titled “Nico Segal x Nikko Washington” (“Collaboration”) developed by Play Together, an Illinois 501(c) not-for-profit corporation located at 1357 N. Wolcott Ave., Unit #1, Chicago, IL 60622 (“Play Together”), I hereby grant to Play Together, its affiliates, principals, agents, media outlets, artist collaborators, and licensees (collectively, “Released Parties”), the perpetual, worldwide, and irrevocable right and permission to use and publish my name, photograph, image, likeness, statements, video, biographical information, voice, and performance (collectively, “Persona”), in whole or in part, in connection with the Collaboration, Play Together’s activities, and the promotion and marketing thereof, without compensation. I hereby release all rights in and to my Persona and understand that portions of it may be edited, distributed, exhibited, promoted, and used, in whole or in part, in any form, format, or media, either now known or hereafter created, worldwide and in perpetuity.

Furthermore, I grant Play Together a limited worldwide rights, title, and interest to my creative works submitted including copyrights, trademarks, moral rights, and other proprietary and ownership rights, in and to the original works, materials, artwork, music, and other contributions made by me to the Collaboration (collectively, “Contributions”).

I understand that I retain copyright of all Contributions uploaded by me to the Collaboration. However, by submitting my Contributions (art, music) to the Collaboration, I grant Play Together permission to share, distribute, disseminate, publicly display, promote, reproduce, edit, translate, and reformat my Contributions uploaded to the Collaboration, as well as the right to release and sell my artwork within the scope of this Collaboration in the form of an NFT, print, or other merchandise.

If my artwork is selected to be released for sale as a part of this Collaboration in any form (NFT, prints, or other merchandise), I understand that I retain no rights to the proceeds from these direct sales. The proceeds from these sales will be directed to benefit Merit School of Music for the purposes of continuing to provide financial aid to students in the form of scholarships; to Play Together for the purposes of funding future philanthropic projects through their non-profit; and to Nikko Washington and Nico Segal (the “Collaboration Artists”).

If my artwork is selected to be released for sale as a part of the Collaboration, I understand that I will receive a fixed dollar amount scholarship at the time of releasing the artwork or music for sale, and this scholarship is also not dependent on whether or not the artwork sells.

I understand that I will still retain future rights to use, distribute, sell, or otherwise promote my direct creative works submitted to the Collaboration.

  • Example 1: If I submitted a musical submission to the Collaboration, I retain the ability to reuse any melodies, lyrics, or beats that I contributed to the submission for use in any future songs or music that I create, but I do not have the right to distribute or sell any portion of Nico Segal’s contribution. I may reuse the melodies, lyrics, or beats that I contributed to the submission in a future song and release it for profit. But I may NOT release the song/submission that I created that contains Nico Segal’s composition as a complete song for profit.

  • Example 2: If I submitted an artistic submission to the Collaboration, I retain the ability to print, sell, distribute my artwork for profit in the future. But I release and hold no claim over the sale of my artwork when it is released by Play Together in any form for purchase (print, NFT, merchandise).

I hereby irrevocably release, discharge, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any claims, losses, damages, or liabilities arising from my participation in the Collaboration and the use of my Persona and Contributions. I understand that this release shall be binding upon me, my heirs, legal representatives, assigns, transferees, and successors in interest.

I understand that Play Together shall not be required to use my Persona and Contributions, including in connection with the Collaboration. This Play Together Participant Release constitutes the sole and exclusive agreement between myself and Play Together with respect to my Persona and Contributions and supersedes any prior oral or written representations to the contrary.

If I am over eighteen (18) years of age and that I have read, fully understand, and am competent to consent to this Play Together Participant Release before proceeding to upload my Contributions.

If I am under eighteen (18) years of age, I confirm that my parent or guardian has read and fully understands, and has contributed their consent to this this Play Together Participant Release before proceeding to upload my Contributions.
