Title: General Model Release in French ???
Post by: hroe on June 08, 2009, 10:31: Do you know if there is a general Model Release in French that is accepted by all Microstocks (the main ones at least)? I upload in the US but will go to France for shooting, so I need a French Model Release...

Thanks!

I have unbelievable trouble getting Dreamstime to accept my model release which is the standard Getty release written in English and accepted by every agency worldwide, it appears however that Dreamstime editors have trouble understanding it and that English law covers those residing in the UK.

Thanks!

I wouldn't advise doing that.

Post by: hroe on June 09, 2009, 06:56: Well, if every company has a base in Europe, they should accept releases in any of these languages, but to be verified. Yes, I can put both English and French text on the same release, it just complicates everything, but that's an idea...
