A working credential issued by University of Louisville Athletics to
an accredited agency (the "Agency") for the sole purpose of providing
stadium or facility access to an individual representative of the Agency
(the "Representative") who has a legitimate working function (media or
event service) in connection with the event for which this credential is
issued (the "Event"). This credential is non-transferable and may be
revoked at any time without cause. Any unauthorized use of this credential subjects the Representative to ejection from the stadium or facility and prosecution for criminal trespass and other legal action, and subjects the Agency to revocation of its access to future Events, as the University of Louisville or its affiliates, agents or employees (collectively, the "Institution") determines in its sole discretion.
Subject to all restrictions contained in this credential, this
credential (if issued for a media function) authorizes the use, solely
by the Agency and solely for news and editorial coverage of the Event,
of the descriptions, accounts, photographs, films, audio or video
recordings, or drawings of or relating to the Event (including, without
limitation, any interviews, press conferences or other stadium
activities related to the Event) taken, made, created, or compiled by
the Representative while attending the Event (collectively, "Agency
Materials"). For the avoidance of doubt, Agency Materials may not be
exploited by the Agency at any time for any purpose other than news and
editorial use. Any other use or attempted use by the Representative or
the Agency of Agency Materials at any time and for any purpose is
expressly prohibited, unless the Agency has obtained the advance written
permission of the Institution. As between the Agency, the
Representative and the Institution, the Institution is the exclusive
owner of all copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary rights in its
names, logos and uniformed designs, and in the Event and all materials
(in any and all media) related thereto, except for Agency Materials
created pursuant to this credential (to the extent they do not
incorporate materials owned by the Institution in accordance with the
foregoing). [The Agency and Representative agree that any Agency
Materials taking the form of film, video, or digital video recordings
("Video Materials") may only be used in connection with a regularly
scheduled television newscast aired by the Agency within a 48-hour
period following the Event, and further agree that the use of Video
Materials from the Event in such newscasts shall not exceed two (2)
minutes in length. Representative shall not transmit or display any
video, audio, pictures, photographs or other non-text based accounts or
descriptions of the Event in any media while the Event or the live
network presentation of the Event is in progress, except with the
advance written permission of the Institution, and will not provide
footage to any regional or national network or newsfeed service.] The
Agency and the Representative assume all risk incidents to, and hereby
release the Institution from, any and all liability arising in
connection with, attending the Event and creating and using Agency
Materials. The Agency agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Institution from and against all liability, loss, damage or expense
arising out of the issuance of this credential, the Representative*s
presence in the stadium or facility, or any other activity of the Agency
or Representative in connection with the Event (including, without
limitation, any claims that Agency Materials infringe the intellectual
property rights, publicity rights or other rights of any third party).
Attendance at the Event constitutes agreement by the Agency and the
Representative to abide by the foregoing conditions and those listed
below.
A working credential is nontransferable. No media personnel,
including journalists, radio and television personnel, or their
equipment, shall be in the team area or coaching box, and no media
personnel shall communicate in any way with persons in the team area or
coaching box. Each photographer shall wear a visible credential issued
by the sports information director. A photographer approved to work on
the field or courtside shall secure an armband before each game in the
press box or sideline check-in area. Photographers working on the field
level or courside may not obstruct the view of a ticket purchaser. In
the interest of the safety of the participants, photographers may use
monopods, but tripods are not allowed on the sidelines.
Radio stations that have not purchased rights may report on this event
for broadcast within a newscast and are not precluded from reporting or
updating the score of a game while it is in progress, but may not
provide live play-by-play coverage. Under no circumstances may any
video highlights shot by a representative or agency be broadcast or
otherwise distributed on the Internet or via any other online service or
computer service.
The institution or its designee may at any time revoke a credential
and/or any of the rights granted hereunder for any reason in its sole
discretion. Thank you for your cooperation.
