Most model release forms include model identity, project description, scope of release (commercial, editorial, social), compensation terms if any, guardian fields for minors, and e-signature capture.
When the subject is a minor, most operators collect parent or guardian signatures. Configure guardian fields and co-sign flows in your template.
Electronic signatures can be binding when requirements are met, but enforceability depends on jurisdiction and how the agreement is presented. Have qualified counsel review your language.
