I further grant the right to reproduce in any manner whatsoever any recordings including all instrumental, musical or other sound effects produced by my child, in connection with the production and/or postproduction of the Project.
• I waive any right to inspect or approve any use of any photographs or recordings of my child by the Department. 
• I agree that I will not assert or maintain against the Department, its successors, assignees and licensees, any claim, action, suit or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to for breach or invasion of privacy, rights of publicity or other civil rights, or for any reason in connection with the Department’s authorised use of my child’s physical likeness and sound in connection with the Project.
• I acknowledge and agree that all rights in and to any content captured as a part of the Project, including the copyright, are and shall remain the sole property of the Department, free and clear from any claims by me or anyone acting on my behalf.
• The Department’s rights to content featuring my child’s physical likeness or sound captured as a part of the Project include, but are not limited to the right to the following for the Project:

• By my signature on the form I understand that I will, to the best of my ability, adhere to the schedule agreed to prior to the beginning of my child’s engagement. Additionally, I agree, to the best of my ability, to make my child available should it be necessary, to re-record their voice and/or record voice-overs and otherwise perform any necessary sound work required after the end of filming (if relevant). Should my child not be able to perform such sound work, I understand that the Department may enter into agreement with another person to re-record my child’s dialogue and/or record voice-overs and use this sound work over my child’s picture or however they deem appropriate. 
• I warrant that I am the parent or legal guardian of the above named child and that there are no restrictions that prevent my child from participating in the Project or any restrictions that prevent me from agreeing to these terms, and that the consent of no other person is required to enable the Department to make and exploit content captured as a part of the Project.
