Model Release forms
<p>I found a model release form:</p>

<p><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1LkkT_XwXwnnzwOxtGAirvVvVXzbU2YVUQeZ0kiqbGmQ" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1LkkT_XwXwnnzwOxtGAirvVvVXzbU2YVUQeZ0kiqbGmQ</a></p>

<p>I was wondering how binding this form is, and how necessary including the address is.</p>

<p>As with all contracts, <strong><em>how</em></strong> binding depends on <strong><em>all the facts and circumstances</em></strong> relevant to any challenges to it's validity. Generally speaking, though, all written contracts are binding <strong><em>prima facie</em></strong> (on their face) provided all parties are of legal age and the contract itself does not prescribe any illegal act. (There are also other requirements not germane to the question.)</p>

<p>There is no requirement for an address to be included in a contract in order for it to be binding.</p>

<p>I am not an attorney. I am not your attorney. So please do not act on anything I or anyone else writes in this forum. Please consult an attorney if you need legal advice.</p>
