World Dead Hang Championship LLC · Governed by the laws of the State of Michigan.
1. How Video Submissions Work
WDHC does not host, upload, or store your video files. You submit a link to a video you have already posted on a third-party platform (YouTube, Google Drive, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, etc.). WDHC reviewers use that link to verify your hang during review.
After approval, you may choose whether your link appears as a public Watch button on the leaderboard. Your hang time and stats can go live without a public Watch link · private or unlisted videos are fine for verification.
2. Grant of Rights
You grant WDHC a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and create derivative works from your submitted video link and associated content (when you opt in to public display or when WDHC uses approved clips with attribution), plus your name, voice, biographical information, and performance data (including GripAge™) for:
- Operating and promoting the leaderboard and championships
- News and editorial coverage
- Historical record of the sport
This license covers linking to, embedding, or excerpting content from your third-party video when you authorize public Watch display or when WDHC uses your approved submission in promotions · not possession of the underlying file.
3. Attribution
WDHC will use reasonable efforts to credit athletes in promotional use.
4. No Product Endorsement
WDHC will not use your likeness to imply endorsement of commercial products without separate written consent.
5. Third-Party Platforms
You represent you have the right to share the link with WDHC for verification and, if you choose, for public leaderboard display. WDHC is not responsible for takedowns, privacy settings, or availability on the third-party platform.
6. Minors
For athletes under 18, a parent or legal guardian must grant this release. See Parental Consent.
7. Revocation
You may request removal of a public Watch link or cessation of future promotional use. WDHC may retain submission metadata (time, name, verification notes) for competition integrity and historical record, but does not retain copies of your video file.
