Work-for-Hire
For custom deliverables, the customer owns the right to use the delivered content upon full payment, but proprietary systems or methods remain the property of Charleene.com.
All session recordings, whether from individual services previously offered or from group video sessions, are the property of Charleene.com. Clients and participants receive a personal, non-transferable license to access recordings provided to them. Source files, raw captures, working materials, and production masters remain the exclusive property of Charleene.com. and are not subject to delivery, license, or disclosure regardless of any payment for the underlying service.
6. Group Video Sessions and Recordings
Charleene.com hosts group video sessions, including live online events, masterclasses, group healings, and similar formats, that are recorded for distribution to participants and for use in our content library, courses, and marketing materials.
By registering for and joining any group video session, you acknowledge and consent to the following:
(a) Recording. The session will be recorded, including audio and video. Your participation may be captured in the recording. This consent is given under Fla. Stat. § 934.03 and applicable equivalents.
(b) “On stage” participation. If you raise your hand, come “on stage,” speak, share your screen, or otherwise actively participate in the visible or audible portion of the session, your image, voice, and contributions will appear in the recording.
(c) Distribution. The recording may be distributed to other participants, sold as a replay or course material, used in marketing and educational materials, included in our content library, and otherwise made available to current and future audiences, in any medium now known or later developed.
(d) Likeness release. You grant Charleene.com a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, edit, reproduce, distribute, publish, display, perform, and create derivative works from any recording of your participation, in any medium now known or later developed, without further consent or compensation. You waive any right to inspect or approve the finished version. You release Charleene.com from any claim arising from such use, including claims for invasion of privacy, right of publicity, defamation, or infliction of emotional distress.
(e) Personal information disclosed. Personal, health, spiritual, emotional, financial, or other sensitive information you choose to share during a group session may be heard by other participants and appear in distributed recordings. You should share only what you are comfortable being recorded and distributed. You acknowledge that such disclosures are made voluntarily and at your sole discretion.
(f) Participant license. Where you receive access to a recording, you receive a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to view it for your own use. You agree not to share, post, publicly perform, redistribute, or otherwise make the recording available outside of your personal use.
(g) Practical limits on erasure rights. Once recorded and distributed, group session recordings cannot be selectively edited to remove individual participants. You acknowledge and agree that any request to erase your personal data from group session recordings may not be technically feasible after the recording has been distributed. We will take reasonable steps to remove identifying metadata (such as your registered name) from session descriptions and supporting materials. The recording content itself, however, may continue to exist as part of our content library and as previously distributed.
(h) Audience-only attendance. If you do not consent to any of the above, you may attend in audience-only mode by keeping your camera and microphone off for the entire session, declining to come “on stage,” and using a display name you are comfortable with. Where an audio-only or transcript-only replay is offered separately, that is also available.
(i) Eligibility. You confirm you are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly enroll minors in group sessions.
