Film Crew Credential Memo

TO: WORKING MEDIA

FROM: NORTHWOODS LEAGUE AND

This Northwoods League (“NWL” or “League”) Film Crew Credential Memo summarizes the terms and conditions for the issuance by the League of certain credentials for your organization, granting privileged access to games of the (“Team” or “Affiliate Club”) during the season.

In exchange for access to our facilities and/or stadium in ways not available to the general public, you agree to certain terms and conditions governing your access and the use of the content you gather as a result of that access. This memorandum summarizes the complete Notice of Credential Use Conditions, which is attached to this memorandum.

Content collected by the Accredited Organization and credentialed individuals may only be used in connection with the documentary series “New Wave” in a manner consistent with the request provided via email on August 7 and 8, 2023; and in a manner that shall not disparage or bring disrepute to the League or Team.

The Accredited Organization’s and Bearer’s distribution of Game Content must be time-delayed and/or limited in amount (including while a game is in progress) as set forth in the Notice of Credential Use Conditions and may not, under any circumstances, constitute, serve as a substitute for, or otherwise approximate, play-by-play accounts or depictions of a game in any medium.
Access to the playing field area is subject to NWL and Team rules, including all rules concerning photography location borders along the baselines and dugouts.
Individual credential holders who receive playing field access privileges acknowledge that they assume the risks inherent in field access (foul balls, collision, injury, and the like) and, as a condition of such access, waive their rights to assert that the NWL, the Team, any other affiliate club, or any player is liable for any injury that they may suffer. The required waiver is set forth in the Notice of Credential Use Conditions below, a copy of which much be signed online by anyone desiring to have access to the ballpark through a Media Credential (the Team will provide a URL to complete the Liability Waiver upon execution of the Northwoods League Credential Memo).
Each credential is issued to, and binding on, the holder and his or her employer. The credential may not be used by, or lent or transferred to, any individual or entity other than the party to which it was directly issued.
The credential also authorizes media organizations limited use of NWL and/or Team trademarks (including team colors and logos) in the approved use covered by this Agreement. It does not authorize use of such trademarks in non-editorial contexts in any medium (e.g., in connection with apparel, posters or other types of souvenir or other merchandise); any such non-editorial use of NWL marks or logos requires a separate license.
Misuse of credentials, failure to abide by the terms of the credentials, disorderly conduct and/or failure to comply with security measures will subject the credential holder to, among other things, ejection from the game being covered and to cancellation or revocation of credentials for future games.

Notice of Credential Use Conditions –

Agreement

Acceptance of NWL and team credentialed access constitutes agreement by the Accredited Organization (as defined below) and the Bearer (as defined below) to abide by (1) the following terms and conditions, (2) an executed Liability Waiver (necessary for access to the playing field), and (3) the NWL Rules governing access to the playing field area, as well as any other rules that may be issued by the League and/or the (“Affiliate Club” or “Team”) pertaining to field access.

Purpose

The credential provides privileged access to an organization (the “Accredited Organization”) for the sole purpose of authorizing, under certain terms and conditions, access to a designated NWL Affiliate Club stadium and/or facility for an individual (the “Bearer”) who has a legitimate working function at the game or event for which this credential is issued (the “Game” or “Games”). It may not be transferred by the Accredited Organization to which it is directly issued and the Bearer may use it only and directly for the Accredited Organization’s purposes. Any unauthorized use of the credential card subjects the Bearer to ejection and subjects the Accredited Organization to revocation of its credentials for future NWL and/or Team games or events. The NWL is defined for the purposes of the credential card to include the Northwoods League, its Affiliate Clubs, and their agents and employees. The NWL, at its sole discretion, may revoke any Accredited Organization’s or individual Bearer’s credentials.

Permitted Uses

The credential card authorizes (i) the use by the Accredited Organization, solely for inclusion in the documentary “New Wave” as requested on August 7 and 8, 2023, of any descriptions (including statistical descriptions), accounts, video, photographs, non-Game action video or audio recordings of the Games, or of player interviews, press conferences, or other stadium activities related to the Game or Games (collectively, “Game Content”) taken, made, created, or compiled by the Accredited Organization or the Bearer, and (ii) the use by the Accredited Organization of any NWL or NWL Affiliate Club logos or trademarks (collectively the “Marks”) in connection with the uses of the Game Content authorized herein. Any other use or attempted use by the Bearer or the Accredited Organization of Game Content or Marks is expressly prohibited, unless the Accredited Organization has obtained the advance written permission of the NWL.

Risk

The Accredited Organization and the Bearer: assume all risk incident to the performance by the Bearer of his or her services; assume all risk incident to attending NWL and/or Team Games; agree that the NWL and/or Team have no responsibility for any equipment in use in the stadium; agree that they are not acting for the NWL and/or Team in any manner whatsoever and are not employees or agents of the NWL and/or Team; and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the NWL and Team from and against all liability, loss, damage or expense resulting from or arising out of the issuance of the credential card or the Bearer’s presence in the stadium, except to the extent such liability, loss, damage or expense arises out of the willful or intentional misconduct of the NWL or Team. The Bearer and his or her belongings may be searched upon entry into the stadium and the Bearer consents to such searches and waives any claims that he or she might have against the NWL and/or Team in connection therewith. If the Bearer fails to consent to such searches, it is agreed and understood that he or she will be denied access to the stadium. Any Bearer who is deemed disorderly, or who fails to comply with these terms or any and all security measures, shall be subject to, if appropriate, ejection from the stadium and prosecution, and shall subject the Accredited Organization to revocation of its credentials for future NWL and Team games or events.

Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by electronic signature, each of which shall be deemed original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

Authorization

By signing this Notice of Credential Use Conditions below, signer represents and warrants that he or she is acting as an authorized agent for Accredited Organization and that Accredited Organization is and shall be bound thereby. Subsequent discovery that signer was not so authorized by Accredited Organization shall result in the immediate revocation of all credentials issued to Accredited Organization and its agents, representatives and employees.
