Testimonial Consent and Release Form Template

General Guideline for A Consent and Release Form

  • The Written and/or Video Testimonial Consent and Release should be signed by your customer or expert to acknowledge consent for the use of their personal endorsement of your product or service.
  • You will need this for every testimonial (written or video) that you want to use.
  • Before using any written or video testimonial, it is important to secure consent from the speaker or writer of the testimonial. It is not enough that a customer or expert has written you a letter praising your product or service or has spoken to you with positive comments. To reuse those statements in any form of promotional context, the person who spoke or wrote them must first give you their consent.
  • This Written and/or Video Testimonial Consent and Release form is very broad and grants you considerable usage rights. You may wish to outline the proposed use of the written or video testimonial in letter form to the individual to whom you are sending the consent, along with a customized copy of this Written and/or Video Testimonial Consent and Release.
  • If you propose to use picture of the individual in your advertisement, you will also need consent for the use of that individual’s likeness- see the “Talent/Model Release”.
  • Also note that if the person providing the testimonial is a minor (under the age of 18), you should have the child’s parent or guardian also acknowledge their Written and/or Video Testimonial Consent and Release.
