Image Use Agreement

We love your image, video or other content and know others will benefit from experiencing it. As you consider allowing us to publish your content, we want to make sure you know exactly how we intend to use it.

You can provide your permission for Designer Brands Inc. dba Hush Puppies, and any of its predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates (collectively, “Hush Puppies”) to use your content by replying to our social media post (e.g. Instagram, Twitter or other) with #agree. By providing your permission, you represent and warrant that you own the content (avatar, text, profile, images and videos) and there are no other entities with ownership claims over it. You grant Hush Puppies a non-exclusive, non-revocable, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable right to use and reproduce the content in any form (including, but not limited to, video, internet posting, reproduction, display, email, publication, and distribution), either through our own services or services provided by third parties, throughout the world in any medium now known or later developed, for commercial or promotional purposes, and without compensation, notification, restriction, or limitation, except where prohibited. You agree that your content may be used and reproduced by Hush Puppies, or by others under Hush Puppies’ direction, to create derivative works either alone or in conjunction with sketches, cartoons, captions, films, artwork, textural matter or other photographs or works. You also consent to Hush Puppies’ use of your name, likeness, photograph, voice, opinions and/or hometown and state for these purposes. While Hush Puppies will make commercially reasonable efforts to give you recognition for your content and provide a link back to your content or account, you agree that such recognition is not mandatory and your permission for us to use your content is not contingent upon such recognition being given.

You waive any right to inspect and/or approve the finished work incorporating the content or the advertising copy that may be used in connection therewith or the use of which said finished work may be applied. Further, you waive any claims to royalties with regards to your content or our finished work.

You also agree to be bound by all terms and conditions in Hush Puppies’ Terms of Use including, but not limited to, the arbitration and class action waiver provisions, and Privacy Policy.

Last, you agree that if any provision, or any portion of any provision, contained herein is determined to be invalid under any statute or rule of law, then it shall, to that extent alone, be deemed omitted, and the remainder of this Image Use Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Image Use Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of Ohio.

If you don’t agree to these terms, we completely understand, and no further action is required. We are thrilled to see Hush Puppies as a part of your page and look forward to seeing any new content you post as well.
