The credential is not transferable and may be revoked at any time with or without cause. The rights and privileges granted to Bearer shall automatically terminate if any term of this credential shall be breached. The unauthorized use of this credential subjects the Bearer to ejection from the facility and prosecution for criminal trespass, without limiting any other rights and remedies at law or in equity. While within the venue, Bearer shall, at all times, adhere to the policies in place for the Event, as well as access limitations, and direction provided by the Big 33 and its designated agents.

By checking the box I agree to the following: Media: The use of any account, description, picture, photograph, video, audio, reproduction, or other information concerning the Events (the ”Event Information”) other than for news coverage of, or magazines, books or stories about, the Events, or for First Amendment-protected purposes, is prohibited, except with the prior written consent of the Big 33. Nothing in these terms and conditions authorizes or allows Bearer to violate any of the Big 33 trademarks, copyright and other proprietary rights. If the event is televised by an Big 33 broadcast partner, authorized media entities shall use the network feed via the video and audio distributing facilities provided by Big 33 to acquire video. If the event is not televised by an Big 33 broadcast partner, media entities may shoot ENG highlights from the designated area(s). These media entities recognize that any videos may be used within a 72-hour period after the game and the film clip or video portion of each such showing shall not exceed three minutes in length for regularly scheduled, televised news programs and 60-seconds of editorial coverage on the media entities’ official Web site. A media entity cannot charge a subscription or any other fee to the end user specifically for viewing highlights of Big 33 events. Media entities shall adhere to the specific policies that govern the length of video and times that it may be aired. If the event has live-television coverage, television entities may not air highlights of the game until the network’s broadcast of that event has been completed. All Segments must include proper use of approved Big 33 logos. The 2013 Big 33 Football Classic logo is to be used for all segments or references to the Big 33 Football Classic, participants, and related events. All credentialed media, including television stations, networks, cable systems, are prohibited from making available game film or video to any other organization without advance written permission from the Big 33, even though the planned use may be editorial in nature. Such film or video may be aired only by the specific station or entity to whom this credential is issued. These rights may not be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed to any person, firm or corporation. Any agency wishing to use Big 33 film, video and/or pictures in any other manner must obtain written permission for such usage from the Big 33. Real-time transmission of streaming video, digital images, real-time audio, including play-by-play and statistics, of the game is exclusive to the Big 33’s Web site and/or any other Web site designated by the Big 33. “Real-time” is defined by the Big 33 as a continuous play-by-play account or live, extended live/real-time statistics, or detailed description of an event. Each Credential Holder (including institutional, television, Internet, new media, and print publications) has the privilege to blog during competition through the Credential Entity. However, the blog may not produce in any form a “realtime” description of the event. Periodic updates of scores, statistics or other brief descriptions of the competition throughout the event are acceptable. Credential Holder agrees that the determination of whether a blog is posting a real-time description shall be in the Big 33’s sole discretion. If the Big 33 deems that a Credential Holder is producing a real-time description of the contest, the Big 33 reserves all actions against Credential Holder, including but not limited to the revocation of the credential. By checking the box I agree to the following: If media intend to blog at a Big 33 event, the media entity must indicate so through the credentialing process. Any media entity posting a blog during the Big 33 game must submit a direct link to the blog to big33.org. In return, all media entities entering a blog must post the PNC Big 33 Football Classic Logo on their site. All blogs must be free of charge to readers.
