  • THE X FACTOR TERMS & CONDITIONS By completing the questionnaire, you are registering your interest in auditioning for The X Factor. If you continue with the audition process we will ask you to provide more information to us and sign a Contributor Release Form, which we will send to you. However, if you participate in the auditions for The X Factor (the Programme), you will be deemed to have agreed to the following terms and conditions: 1. You must be 14 or over on 1 April 2015. Failure to supply proof of your age (ie. current drivers licence, birth certificate, proof of age card, or passport) will result in your disqualification from the auditioning process. If you are less than 18 years old, you must be accompanied to the audition by your parent/ legal guardian who will need to consent to your participation by signing the Contributor Release Form where indicated. If you are under 16 years of age (today) your parent/legal guardian must be with you during the audition process. 2. You must abide by the rules, regulations, terms and conditions of the Programme as devised from time to time by FremantleMedia Australia (the "Producer") and you will accept the Producer's decisions as final, recognising that the interests of the Programme shall override those of any auditionee. 3. The Producer has no obligation to record and the broadcaster has no obligation to broadcast your appearance or any part of your contribution to the auditioning process. 4. Generally, it is a condition of participation that you have not previously entered into any commercial, contractual, sponsorship or other agreement or arrangement with any person, firm or company in respect of your musical and/or performing abilities or the products thereof or in respect of you name likeness, image or biography. However, should you have entered into such an arrangement, you must immediately notify the Producer at the audition and the Producer may take such action as it considers in its absolute discretion to be appropriate including without limitation disqualifying you from the auditioning process. 5. You acknowledge that in reliance on consents given by you, the Producer may incur significant outlays and as an incentive for the Producer to photograph, video, film or record you (there being no obligation on the Producer to do so), you irrevocably agree and consent that the Producer may (and may authorise others to) photograph, video, film and/or record you and edit, adapt, alter, omit and otherwise use the resulting materials (the Materials), your name, likeness, image, actions, voice and/or biographical material (which includes, without limitation, any personal information as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)), in any and all media now known or hereafter devised, worldwide, in or in connection with the production, broadcast, marketing, promotion, publicity and exploitation of the Programme, in perpetuity without restriction. The Producer will own all rights, title and interest in any Materials and the results and proceeds of the Materials in perpetuity.
