  • Agree to the terms.

    I grant permission to the Teens in the Driver Seat® program and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (collectively "TTI") to take and use visual/audio images of me as part of ongoing communications efforts to advance the Teens in the Driver Seat® program, a program designed to reduce the frequency of vehicle crashes involving teenage drivers. "Visual/audio images" includes any type of recording whatsoever including but not limited to photographs, digital images, drawings, renderings, voices, sound or video recordings, audio clips or accompanying written descriptions. I agree that TTI owns the images and all the rights related to them.

    I understand that the images may be used in video and audio productions, public service announcements, on the Teens in the Driver Seat® program web site, and any other uses deemed appropriate by TTI, without compensation or notification. I waive any right to inspect or approve the finished images or any printed or electronic matter that may be used with them.

    I release and hold harmless TTI, its employees and agents, from any claim, damages, or liability for any violation of any personal or proprietary right I may have in connection with such recording or use. I freely and voluntarily consent to the use and publication of the images by TTI from this date forward until I revoke this consent in writing.
    IF YOU ARE UNDER 18: Please make sure your parent or guardian completes the parental release form on the next page. Your application will not be considered without the release form. If you've already submitted one this school year, you're good to go.
