Who this template is for
Photo & Video Release Form is built for any team that needs demonstrable permission who need to record who agreed to what, and when.
- Any team that needs demonstrable permission working in consent, waivers & releases.
- Teams who need to record who agreed to what, and when without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing consent claims you can't evidence months later with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are customers, patients and participants — the form asks them 24 questions across 4 screens.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of consent claims you can't evidence months later and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 16 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a full postal address.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is the subject under 18?” is Yes, “Parent or guardian name and signature” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Permitted uses” contains Third-party licensing, the form dynamically exposes “Any organisations specifically excluded?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Duration of this release” is Fixed period, “Number of years” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Can I limit use to one campaign?

Can we collect releases at an event?
Open it on a tablet at the door and each attendee signs on screen, or send the link with the event confirmation.

The agreement text is fully editable, so replace it with your own legal wording where the stakes justify it.
