All of the foregoing will be at the sole expense of Contractor. No failure of Gannet to enforce the disposition of materials under this section, or to enforce it fully or promptly, will constitute, or be interpreted or construed as, a waiver of any right of Gannet under these Terms, nor will it affect in any way the characterization of any material as Confidential Information or give Contractor any rights or license as to any such Confidential Information of Gannet, whether by implication, estoppel, act of law, or any other theory or reason.

Contractor acknowledges that in order to use Gannet’s or its Customer’s name, tradename, logo, or any project or service completed under these Terms for marketing or other purposes, Contractor shall first obtain Gannet’s and such Customer’s prior written consent. Such prior written consent of Gannet can be withheld by Gannet in its sole and absolute discretion.
Use of Name, Likeness, and Biography. By using this Website, Contractor grants to Gannet a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable right and license to use, publish and broadcast, and to authorize others to do so, the name, nickname, initials, autograph, facsimile signature, photograph, likeness, and biographical information of Contractor (the “Contractor Persona”) on any media, now known or later discovered, in connection with the business of Gannet, including without limitation via Gannet’s online and mobile social media channels, websites and emails, and in broadcast and printed collateral or advertisements to advertise, publicize, and promote the business of Gannet (the “Designated Use”).
