Photo, Video and Testimonial Release
Use photos, videos and testimonials from clients on your website, social media and marketing materials legally!! Now and forever!
As a business owner with a website, social media or other marketing materials, a big part of your presence and "social proof" of value are photos, videos and testimonials from clients.
But did you know that the person (or people) in those photos and videos, and the content of a testimonial actually belongs to the person and not your business?
Photos and videos are covered by rights of likeness and privacy, and testimonials can be covered by copyright law.
If you want to stay legal and be able to use those photos, videos and testimonials in your business - now and forever - you need a Photo, Video and Testimonial Release to make sure that you have all the rights that you need (and to prevent someone from coming back later and demanding you remove it).
A Photo, Video and Testimonial Release is a perpetual license and waiver to your business to be allowed to use (and edit) that media!
It makes it clear that once your business has those photos, videos and testimonials, you can use them in your business however you want without ever having to go back for more permission!
With this customizable template and training, I’ll walk you through creating a Photo, Video and Testimonial Release you can use in your business right away.
Whether you’re a business or IT consultant, freelancer, graphic designer, web developer, digital marketer, entrepreneur or other solo professional services provider . . . it’s a must-have if you ever include photos, videos or testimonials on your website social media or marketing materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Customizable Contract Templates with Video Resources and your other products the only legal documents I need as a consultant, coach or professional service provider?
Do I need a lawyer to look over these legal documents once I’ve customized them?
To customize these legal templates, you simply fill in the details where indicated, and they are ready to go. Everything you need to complete will be highlighted in yellow, and we provide the template in Word so you can easily edit it. Plus, each customizable contract template includes a detailed video “walk-through” of the template.
While you are always free to engage a local attorney if you wish, the purpose of our contract templates with video resources and other products is to equip consultants and professional services providers with quality templates that they easily customize themselves and use in their business right away.
Are these legal documents valid only in the US, or outside of the US too?
The templates are based on US legal principles. While most of the language is applicable in other countries, there are likely some terms which may need localizing.
Do these templates need to be customized specifically to my industry?
For most coaches, consultants and professional service providers, the templates should not need any further customization. If your industry is highly regulated (such as medical consulting, or power plant design), then additional customizations might be required.
What's the difference between these legal templates and say... others currently out there in the market?
How soon can I use these templates?
You can use these templates as soon as you customize them and replace the HTBiz Law branding with you own company logo. The HTBiz Law branding must stay on the original template, but when you customize it for your business, then you should make it be your brand since the Bootcamp is not your attorney.
Will you show me exactly how to use them?
Each module will walk you through the relevant template, including an explanation of the purpose of the template, the key terms, and the places where you need to customize them to fit your business.
How will I receive the templates?
Each Customizable Contract Template with Video Resources will include both a Word format and PDF format download of the relevant template. That way you can easily edit the Word version but you won't risk losing any of the notes and instructions which are safe in the PDF.
How difficult is it to customize a template?
The Customizable Contract Templates with Video Resources and other products are specifically designed for people who are not lawyers. Each one presents the information in a “plain English” (as much as possible) business-focused manner.
If I have questions, is there anyone I can reach out to? And is there a cap on the number of questions I ask?
If you have technical problems accessing the course and/or downloading the templates, you can send an email to contact@htbizlaw.com. Unfortunately, we cannot provide specific personal legal advice for our templates. However, if you want “Done For You” services or personal legal advice, you can become a regular client of HTBiz Law by entering into an engagement letter, and we can create custom contracts for your business. If you are not sure what you need, you can always book a consult with Sharon by clicking HERE.
When will I get access to the templates and resources?
As soon as you purchase a Customizable Contract Template with Video Resources you will be taken to a web page which will have the links to the downloadable contract template, the video resources as well as other information.
I'm time poor - how long does each Customizable Contract Template take to do?
It should take you less than an hour to watch the video resources and customize your contract template. Some templates are a little quicker, some may be a little longer.
Can I get a refund if I don’t like the template?
Unfortunately, because you immediately receive the downloadable files, we cannot provide refunds as our Customizable Templates were created at significant time and expense.
When I use these legal documents in my business, can you help me negotiate them with specific clients?
Yes. Working one-on-one with you to help you negotiate contracts is not part of the Customizable Contract Templates with Video Resources , but it is a service we offer. To take this service up, you will need to enter into an engagement letter with the HTBiz Law. Please contact us directly at contact@htbizlaw.com and we will be happy to assist you.
Can I tell a client that you are my private attorney if I don’t enter into an engagement letter with HTBiz Law?
Securing media content for your business is easier than you think.
