LARP — Content & Releases Policy
Last updated: September 25, 2026 · Effective date: September 25, 2026
LARP Sessions create photos and videos that often feature people, brands, logos, locations, and the Cars themselves. Turning that footage into published content (a music video, an ad, a brand campaign, social posts) can require legal permissions. This Policy explains who is responsible for those permissions (short version: the Creator/production), how LARP may use Content, and how to report copyright infringement. It's part of the Terms of Service and works with the Community Guidelines.
1. The headline rule
The Creator (and their production) is solely responsible for obtaining every release, clearance, license, and permit needed to create and use their Session Content. LARP does not obtain these for you, does not provide them, and is not responsible for your failure to obtain them.
2. Releases, clearances, and permits the Creator/production must handle
Depending on the shoot, you may need:
- Model releases — signed permission from every recognizable person appearing on camera (talent, crew, bystanders) before you use the content commercially.
- Property releases — permission for recognizable private property or distinctive objects featured in the content.
- Brand / trademark clearance — permission or a lawful basis to feature logos, brands, designs, or trade dress (clothing, products, signage) in your content.
- Right of publicity / NIL — permission to use a person's name, image, likeness, or voice commercially (rules vary by state, and some survive death).
- Film / photo permits — if any part of a shoot occurs on public streets, sidewalks, or parks, you must obtain the required municipal film/photo permit and insurance (e.g., FilmLA, NYC MOME). LARP Sessions are intended for private property, which avoids this in most places — but some jurisdictions (parts of Los Angeles County, for example) can require a permit for commercial filming even on private property, so check locally; if you move to public property, the permits and insurance are your responsibility (and may name the jurisdiction as additional insured).
- Music and other third-party IP — licenses for any music, footage, artwork, or other third-party material you incorporate.
- The Car's appearance — confirm with the Owner any limits on commercial use of the Car's image, and clear any distinctive vehicle design/trade dress where required.
This list is illustrative, not exhaustive — you are responsible for all permissions your Content and your shoot require, whether or not they are listed above.
3. Your responsibility, disclaimer, and indemnity
By creating or using Session Content, you represent that you have obtained (or will obtain) all permissions in §2, and that your Content does not infringe anyone's rights. LARP disclaims responsibility for your Content and how you use it, and you indemnify LARP and the Owner against claims arising from your Content, including model/property-release, right-of-publicity, brand/trademark, music, and permit claims (see ToS §15).
4. Owners — permission to list
By listing a Car, the Owner represents it has the right to offer the Car and to use the Listing images it uploads, and grants LARP the license in §5 to display them. By accepting a booking, the Owner allows the Creator to photograph and film the Car and to use that content for any lawful purpose, including commercially, unless the Owner stated restrictions in the Listing or in a message before accepting. No use may suggest that the Owner endorses a product or message, and the Owner's own face or voice needs the Owner's separate release.
5. The license you give LARP
5.1 Operate the Services. As stated in ToS §9.2, you grant LARP a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host and display your Content to operate the Services (e.g., show Listings, before/after photos to the parties, and reviews).
5.2 Marketing. The licence in §5.1 is worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free and sublicensable, and it includes using your Listing images and Session Content to promote the Services — on larp.global, in the app, and in advertising — consistent with ToS §9.2. You keep ownership of your Content; this is a licence, not a transfer. Where promotional use features an identifiable person, LARP remains responsible for obtaining any release required for LARP's own use.
5.3 You keep ownership. Subject to §5.1 and the clearances you're responsible for, you keep ownership of your Content.
6. Prohibited content
Content must follow the Community Guidelines: nothing illegal, infringing, non-consensual, sexually exploitative, hateful, deceptive, or otherwise prohibited, and no nudity or sexual content. Nude, erotic or sexually explicit shoots are not permitted at Sessions; fashion and glamour shoots are fine.
7. Copyright — DMCA notice-and-takedown
7.1 We respect IP. If you believe Content on LARP infringes your copyright, send a notice to our Designated DMCA Agent with: (a) your signature (physical or electronic); (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) identification of the infringing material and where it is on the Services; (d) your contact info; (e) a statement of good-faith belief the use is unauthorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act.
Designated DMCA Agent: Copyright Agent, Larp Marketplace LLC · admin@larp.global · 8030 Lorraine Ave, 303, Stockton, CA 95210, United States.
7.2 Counter-notice. If your Content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you may submit a counter-notice with the statutory elements (identification of the material, a statement under penalty of perjury of good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, your contact info, and consent to jurisdiction). We may restore the material per the DMCA timeline unless the complainant files suit.
7.3 Repeat infringers. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
8. Changes
We may update this Policy and will post the new "Last updated" date.
