REI Members: Share your outdoor photos.

Show us what it means to be an REI member

Here's your chance to be featured in REI materials. Send a favorite photo of yourself or other REI members enjoying the outdoors. Whether daring or playful; families, friends or solo adventurers, they're all good—the primary person in the photo just needs to be an REI member. As a co-op, REI encourages a sense of community among members and sharing photos is one way to do that. We hope to share photos that show how REI members enjoy the outdoors.

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, I hereby agree as follows:

  1. I irrevocably grant to Recreational Equipment, Inc., its affiliates, agents, representatives, licensees and assigns ("REI") in perpetuity, for no additional consideration, permission to use the photographs or pictures (including but not limited to transparencies, negatives, prints, digital data, or other photographic images) ("Photos") an unlimited number of times in any manner REI deems fit in all media now known or hereafter devised, in whole or in part, or composite or distorted in character or form, without restriction as to changes or alterations, or reproductions thereof in color or otherwise, throughout the universe, as provided in this Section 1. I also consent to the use of printed matter in conjunction therewith.
  2. I understand that upon my submission and/or delivery of any Photos to REI, the Photos may be used by REI for any purpose whatsoever. I represent that I independently created the Photos I submitted to REI and/or that I have all rights, permissions (including, but not limited to, the rights to use the likenesses of people, if any, appearing in the Photos), consents and/or entitlements to use and license such Photos to REI. I agree to take any actions (including execution of documents) reasonably requested by REI to effect, perfect or evidence the foregoing representation and/or the license set forth herein.

I hereby waive: (i) any right that I may have to inspect or approve the finished product, the advertising copy, or any printed matter that may be used in connection therewith or the use to which it may be applied; (ii) any rights to injunctive relief I may have in connection with this Release; and (iii) the right to revoke this Release.
  4. To the fullest extent allowed by law I agree to release, discharge, indemnify and hold harmless REI, and all persons acting under its permission or authority, from any liability, claim, damage, judgment, cost, loss, expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees), by virtue of any publication or use of the Photos as previously described. I agree that in the event of a dispute arising out of the use of the Photos, my damages shall not exceed Fifty Dollars ($50.00) and in no instance shall I be entitled to seek an injunction against REI's use of the Photos.
  5. If a court finds any provision of this Release to be unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, it is my intention and understanding that this Release shall nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent to which it is found by the court to be legally enforceable. This Release shall be governed by applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Washington, without reference to its choice of law rules. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as a waiver of REI's rights to the Photos under federal and state common law and statutes (such as rights of public domain and fair use).
  6. This Release constitutes the entire agreement between myself and REI with respect to the matters described herein, and supersedes any and all other agreements and communications, oral or written, between myself and REI with respect to such matters. This Release may not be amended or supplemented except by a writing signed by REI specifically referencing this Release.
