I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PERMISSION IS ONLY FOR THE USE OF MY NAME (AS A CHARACTER) AND DOES NOT RELATE TO MY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OR PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT WHILE THE CHARACTER MAY HAVE MY NAME, THE CHARACTER IS IN NO WAY REPRESENTATIVE OF ME IN ANY WAY AND THAT THE CHARACTER IS A PURELY FICTIONAL CREATION OF THE AUTHOR IN A PURELY FICTIONAL WORK AND THAT ALL CHARACTERS IN SAID WORK HAVE NO EXISTENCE OUTSIDE THE IMAGINATION OF THE AUTHOR. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT ANY REAL INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT INSPIRE THE NAMED CHARACTER, AND THAT ALL INCIDENTS ARE PURE INVENTION.

WHILE I MAY HAVE MADE A DONATION TO A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION FOR THE USE OF MY NAME, THE AUTHOR HAS RECEIVED NO COMPENSATION FOR PLACEMENT OF MY NAME IN SAID WORK, AND MY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT MEANS THAT I UNDERSTAND THAT USE OF MY NAME DOES NOT GIVE ME ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK IN ANY CAPACITY AND/OR AT ANY TIME NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.
