claims for invasion of privacy, defamation or infringement of copyright. I further agree to hold harmless
UCSD, its agents, licensees, and assignees from, and will neither sue nor bring any proceeding against, any
such parties for any liability, whether now known or arising hereafter, resulting from or arising in connection
with the exercise of such parties’ rights pursuant to this agreement.
I have read the above agreement and fully understand its contents. I represent and warrant that I am of full age,
