Consent, Assignment and Release

This is transcribed loosely (with none of the specific details) from the cards I hand out at work. This covers, in fine print, the back of the card:

CONSENT, ASSIGNMENT AND RELEASE

By consenting to [] representatives photographing my image and/or the image of a minor (each, an “Image”), I am (1) representing that I am at least eighteen years of age and, if applicable, the parent and/or legal guardian of the minor being photographed, (2) consenting to the Image(s) appearing and/or used in any medium currently existing and hereafter developed, including, without limitation, on the associated [] website located at [] (the “Website”), without any compensation to me or the minor or any heirs or successors, (3) assigning to [] and it’s parents and affiliates all worldwide right, title and interest in or to such Image(s), and (4) releasing in perpetuity [all involved peoples] or [any entity which now, or in the future, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with [previous peoples] and subsidiaries and affiliated entities thereof] from any claim of right in respect of such Image(s), including, but not limited to, claims of false endorsement or rights of publicity or privacy.

If you wish to have your Image removed from the Website or have any other questions, please contact us at []

I find this particularly interesting because I severely doubt it is any way legally binding. It is a seemingly pompous gesture. For the record, when we actually want to use a family's image for promotional we always have them sign a model release.
