Quick answer
Do I need permission to use a customer testimonial?
Yes. You need permission to use a customer testimonial. A testimonial consent form (also called a testimonial release form or customer testimonial consent form) records four rights: their name, their likeness (photo, face, voice), the text or video they gave you, and where you may publish it. A checkbox on a collection form is a start. It is not a substitute for a clear grant. Editing their words later does not replace consent. This generator writes a draft. It is not legal advice.
- 01
Name the company
A testimonial consent form that says "we" is vague. Put the legal name of the business that will publish the quote.
- 02
List name and likeness
Name is the attribution. Likeness is the photo, face, and voice. A customer testimonial consent form should grant each one, or refuse it.
- 03
Say text, video, or both
A written quote is not the same as a face on camera. A testimonial release form should name the media you actually collected.
- 04
Name the usage rights
Website, social, ads, print, sales decks. "All marketing" is harder to defend than a short list they can read.
- 05
Add a way out, then review
Let them withdraw in writing. Have a lawyer in your country read the draft. Then collect the next quote on a form that stores this consent.
Testimonial consent FAQ
Yes. You need permission to use a customer testimonial. In the US, the FTC treats fake or unauthorized quotes as illegal advertising. A testimonial consent form records who agreed, what they agreed to (name, likeness, text or video), and where you may publish it.
No. A collection form asks for the story. A testimonial consent form (or testimonial release form) is the permission document. A timestamped checkbox that names the business and the channels is a start. A full customer testimonial consent form also covers likeness, duration, and withdrawal.
Likeness is how they look and sound: photo, face on video, and voice. If you only have a written quote, you can turn likeness off. If you will show their face, the form should say so.
No. This generator writes a starting draft. Laws differ by country and by how you use the quote (ads vs a website). Have a lawyer review it before you send it. Prooflet is not your lawyer.
