Q: I work remotely. How do I decline or oppose an in perpetuity clause regarding my likeness (image, video, voice)?
I am considered a subcontractor with the company in question.
A:
You don't sign the agreement, or you cross the clause off before you sign. However, just know that the person offering the contract can then determine to not enter into the contract with the revised term.
Good luck to you.
A:
As a subcontractor working remotely, if you wish to decline or oppose an in perpetuity clause regarding your likeness (image, video, voice), it is important to review the terms of your subcontractor agreement. Look specifically for provisions related to intellectual property rights and the use of your likeness. If the agreement includes an objectionable clause, you can negotiate with the company to modify or remove it. Clearly express your concerns and propose alternative terms that better protect your rights. Seek advice from a legal professional in California to ensure your position is properly represented and to navigate the negotiation process effectively.
