o Examples include, but are not limited to, TV/radio commercials, print advertisements, press releases, online media buys, giveaways/merchandising used across any marketing channels such as TV, radio, website, email, social media etc.

TV commercials and/or larger graphical productions Before production starts = storyboard/mood-board, media

plan (campaign period, country, stations) together with script/messaging (for example Voice Over) in English, is subject for approval

During production = if larger project, we suggest you keep in touch with NetEnt if in doubt, to avoid last minute changes.

After production = final production that will go on-air, along with media plan and script/messaging in English (for example Voice Over script), is subject for approval.

PLEASE NOTE: No production can go on-air without prior approval. NetEnt reserves the right to request removal of any assets. If requested, Licensee should ensure removal of such content with immediate effect. Any financial impact from such removal request shall be borne solely by the Licensee in breach.

o If in doubt, please contact NetEnt Account Manager – do not assume approval is not needed.

Any uses of any Property and any artwork that in any way promotes the NetEnt Jimi Hendrix game, must be approved by NetEnt and/or Authentic Hendrix, LLC’s management and therefore will require a minimum of ten (10) working days for approval. NetEnt assumes no responsibility for any delays.
