Use of Third-Party Intellectual Property (including player images)

Rugby World Cup Limited does not own the rights to third party intellectual property (including, without limitation, any player’s images) and prior written consent from the third party is required for such use (even if access to the still imagery and/or footage which includes the player(s) has been provided by Rugby World Cup Limited).

In all cases where Partners, Sponsors, Suppliers and other Licensees use third-party intellectual property and/or player images, written releases indicating that the correct authorisation/consent for use should be sought by the submitting party and may be required as part of the Approvals process. If you are unsure as to the use of third-party intellectual property and/or player images, please contact IMG in order to discuss how such consent can be sought.
