LightBox Expo Press/Media Terms & Conditions
In order to ensure quality press and media coverage for LightBox Expo (herein referred to as “the Event”), these Press and Media Terms are made in addition to the Event Terms & Conditions .
Each Participant who receives press or media Credentials for the Event (collectively, “Media Credentials”) acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by both the Event Terms & Conditions and these Press/Media Terms. At any time, Management may amend these Press/Media Terms without notice by posting the amended Press/Media Terms on the Event website. The continued Participation in the Event by a Participant with Media Credentials shall constitute acceptance of any such amended Press/Media Terms.
Media Credentials are not guaranteed to anyone. Management may issue or withhold Media Credentials at its sole discretion and reserves the right to refuse Media Credentials to anyone at any time and for any purpose. Media Credentials shall only be issued to individuals attending the Event on assignment from a publication, station, network or online service which is approved by Management (each, a “Media Outlet”) or to other individuals working in the media who are approved by Management. All such approvals shall be made or denied by Management in its sole discretion.
At any time, in its sole reasonable discretion, and except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Management may request that any Participant provide documentation to verify their affiliation with a given Media Outlet or to verify their standing in the media. Additional required qualifying documentation for receipt of Media Credentials may also be specified on the official Event website. Management reserves the right to deny entry, ban, or remove any Participant from further Participation in the Event if such Participant fails to provide the requested Media Credentials documentation or if such documentation is deemed insufficient by Management in its sole and absolute discretion. All determinations by Management regarding Media Credentials shall be final.
Media Credentials do not provide Participant with early access, special access, or guaranteed admission to any given Event feature. Media Credentials allow a Participant to Participate in the Event during the official public Event hours only.
Media Credentials are non-transferable and cannot be reproduced or resold. Media Credentials are immediately rendered void if altered in any way. Any unauthorized resale of Media Credentials, any attempted unauthorized resale of Media Credentials, any unauthorized assignment of Media Credentials, any creation of counterfeit Media Credentials, or any unauthorized transfer of any Media Credentials to a third party are strictly prohibited and constitute an immediate forfeiture of Participant’s Media Credentials.
All media rights to the Event are explicitly reserved and retained by Management; provided however that Management may grant to Producer (as defined below) a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable right and license, without representation or warranties of any kind, to make audio, video, and/or audiovisual recordings at Management’s Event, solely for the portion of the Event indicated in Producer’s request to film (collectively, the “Grant of Rights”) and solely for the use indicated in Producer’s request to film (the “Production”). Any live broadcasts or livestreaming from the Event must be approved in advance in writing by Management. All photographs or film/video footage of the Event may be used only for the editorial purposes of the Media Outlet to which the Media Credentials were assigned. Reporting from or about the Event shall not purport to be exclusive or official coverage, sponsored or endorsed by a third party, or inserted into any commercial announcement.
No photographs and/or film/video footage of the Event may be sold to third parties without Management’s prior written consent. No Participants with Media Credentials may photograph and/or record an artist or exhibitor’s booth at the Event without the express consent of that artist or exhibitor. All exhibitors retain the right to refuse photography of their booths. Participants with Media Credentials may not block the flow of traffic in or around the Event at any time.
To the extent a Media Outlet intends to record on-site at the Event, the following additional on-site filming terms (the “Filming Terms”) will apply in connection to all portions of the Event which are requested to be filmed. The following Filming Terms must be accepted by a Participant completing this press and media registration on behalf of their Media Outlet (such individual, the “Producer”), and that Producer hereby represents and warrants that they are authorized to accept, the following Filming Terms:
- All audio, photo, and video footage or recordings captured by the Producer in connection with the Grant of Rights shall be considered the “Recordings”.

- Producer shall not unreasonably interfere with the Event and shall create the Recordings in a manner which does not annoy, endanger, or interfere with the rights of any other attendee, exhibitor, staff member, crew member, or other individuals on-site at the Event (collectively, the “Other Event Participants”). Management may, in its sole discretion, prohibit any action by Producer which interferes with the rights of Other Event Participants or which exposes Other Event Participants to annoyance or danger.

- The Grants of Rights herein may not be transferred by Producer without the advance written permission of Management. All rights not specifically granted herein are reserved to Management. If any provision of this Agreement is judged to be invalid or unenforceable, the defective provision shall first be revised, limited or amended, consistent with the general intent of the provision, such that it is valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected and shall remain enforceable. The failure of Management to require strict compliance with any term of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that or any other term of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and the obligations, rights and remedies of the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws. Each party hereby submits themselves to the jurisdiction and venue of any appropriate court in the city of Pasadena and State of California to resolve any and all disputes hereunder.
