73.01

Member associations and their affiliated organisations and/or clubs are authorised to exploit the commercial rights of the home qualifying phase matches which take place under their respective auspices ("qualifying rights").

73.02

Clubs shall not participate in any aggregation of commercial rights, or allow any third party to use any aggregation of qualifying rights granted by the club in any way that would permit third parties to create a direct or indirect association with the competition, its products, services, persons or brands and/or its visual identity, whether through the use of a branded marketing programme or otherwise.

73.03

All agreements and arrangements pertaining to the exploitation of the qualifying rights must be presented to the UC3/UEFA administration on request.

73.04

For all qualifying phase matches, member associations and their affiliated organisations and/or clubs envisaged in Paragraph 73.01 undertake to provide UC3/UEFA free of charge and at least 24 hours prior to the kick-off of each match with access to television frequency information for receiving the broadcast signal at a location of UC3/UEFA's choice. These broadcasts can be recorded by UC3/UEFA in particular for the purposes envisaged in Article 79 and this Paragraph 73.04, and a copy of the recording shall be made available for the host club upon request. If the signal is unavailable for whatever reason, member associations and their affiliated organisations and/or clubs undertake to provide to UC3/UEFA free of charge, in HDCam format (or such other format as may be requested by UC3/UEFA) a recording of the entire match, to be sent to a destination of UC3/UEFA's choice for receipt within seven days of the match. The club shall ensure that the person owning rights to the above materials grants UC3/UEFA the right to use and exploit and authorise others to use and exploit any and all media rights in respect of up to 15 minutes (the exact amount to be determined at UC3/UEFA’s discretion) of audio and/or visual material from each match, free of charge and without payment of any associated clearance costs. The club acknowledges that such use may be aimed in particular at directly or indirectly promoting the competition within programming produced by or on behalf of UC3/UEFA.

73.05

Member associations and their affiliated organisations and/or clubs may not use or authorise any third party to use any of the competition trademarks or music or any graphic material or artistic forms developed in connection with the competition in programmes, promotions, publications or advertising or otherwise without the prior written consent of UC3/UEFA if not specifically permitted in these regulations including Chapter XIII and the Club Media Rights Guidelines as set out in Annex G.
