Carleton University may edit the Photograph in its sole and absolute discretion;
Carleton University’s use of the Photograph will not subject Carleton University to liability for any fees to any party, nor will it infringe upon or violate any rights of any party; and
If it is alleged that Carleton University or any of its successors, licensees and assignees have breached their rights, my only remedy will be an action at law for financial damages, and neither myself nor any party claiming through or in place of myself has the right to interfere with the exercise of the rights granted.


My consideration for this waiver is the opportunity to have the Photograph being included in the Project.
