WHEREAS, Company operates digital and interactive publications, media channels, video streaming platforms (including BMG Magazine and BMG Catwalk), mobile and web subscription applications, and content-to-commerce shopping features ("Walk & Shop" / "Shop the Look"); and

WHEREAS, Model wishes to submit photographs, digital video reels, runway walk clips, likeness, biographical details, and related creative assets (collectively, the "Submitted Content") to Company for publication, editorial display, interactive media, and commercial distribution.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and the publicity, brand exposure, and potential commercial opportunities provided to Model, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Submission of Content & Scope

Model may from time to time submit photographs, video footage, digital portfolio cards, runway catwalk recordings, social media links, and credit metadata to Company. Submission does not obligate Company to publish, feature, or maintain any Submitted Content across its platforms. Company reserves sole editorial and creative discretion regarding curation, layout, placement, and duration of use.

2. Grant of Rights & Commercial License

Model hereby grants to Company, its parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, successors, and assigns, a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free (except as expressly provided under Section 5), non-exclusive, sublicensable license to:

• (a) Publish, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, exhibit, stream, adapt, crop, reformat, and edit the Submitted Content in whole or in part;
• (b) Incorporate the Submitted Content into any digital or print edition of BMG Magazine, BMG Catwalk, mobile applications, websites, App Store subscription offerings, social media platforms, promotional materials, lookbooks, and broadcast media;
• (c) Utilize Model's name, professional pseudonym, likeness, image, voice, performance, and social media handles in connection with the marketing, advertising, promotion, and monetization of Company and its digital publications.

3. Copyright Warranties & Photographer Releases

Model expressly warrants, represents, and covenants that:

• (a) Model is the sole owner of the Submitted Content OR Model has obtained all necessary, irrevocable, and written licenses, permissions, model releases, and copyright authorizations from each photographer, videographer, agency, wardrobe stylist, or other third party who created, shot, or holds intellectual property rights in the Submitted Content;
• (b) The submission, publication, distribution, and commercial utilization of the Submitted Content by Company will not infringe upon, misappropriate, or violate any copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of privacy, right of publicity, or any other proprietary right of any third party;
• (c) Model has provided accurate, complete creative attribution credits (including photographer, designer, and makeup/hair artists) at the time of submission.

4. Indemnification & Hold Harmless

Model agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company, Broadcast Media Global Group, Calvin Childs, and each of their respective officers, directors, owners, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, demands, lawsuits, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs) arising out of or resulting from:

• (a) Any breach or alleged breach of Model's warranties, representations, or covenants under this Agreement, including any claim by a photographer, agency, or copyright holder that Company's use of Submitted Content constitutes unauthorized use or copyright infringement;
• (b) Any claim that Model's likeness, image, or provided assets violate any person's right of publicity, privacy, or moral rights;
• (c) Any dispute between Model and third-party photographers, agencies, or management regarding rights, ownership, or licensing fees.

This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and any removal of content from Company's platforms.

5. "Walk & Shop" / Affiliate Commerce Programs

Where Model participates in Company's "Walk & Shop," "Shop the Look," or partner affiliate programs:

• (a) Company may display interactive links, product tags, and shopping conduits enabling viewers to purchase featured or similar garments, footwear, and accessories through third-party retail platforms (including Amazon Associates / Amazon Marketplace);
• (b) Compensation, if applicable, shall be governed by Company's published partner schedule or a separate written addendum, calculated solely upon verified net commissions actually collected and retained by Company from third-party retailers, subject to standard returns, cancellations, and merchant clawbacks;
• (c) Company makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding consumer sales volume, commission amounts, or continuous product availability on third-party merchant platforms.

6. Editorial Credits & DMCA Safe Harbor

Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to include Model and creative credits (e.g., photographer and designer handles) in standard editorial metadata blocks. However, inadvertent failure to include a credit shall not constitute a material breach. If a third-party copyright holder claims an image was submitted without authorization, Company reserves the absolute right to remove the disputed asset immediately in accordance with Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) procedures.

7. Independent Contractor Status

Model acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between the parties is strictly that of an independent contributor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create an employment relationship, joint venture, partnership, or talent agency representation between Model and Company. Model has no authority to bind Company to any contract or obligation.

8. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration or before a court of competent jurisdiction located in the designated state.

9. Entire Agreement & Digital Acceptance

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements. Digital confirmation, submission form checkboxes, electronic signatures, or email transmission of this Agreement shall have the same legal force and effect as an original handwritten signature.
