(3) Consistent with section 1(a) of this chapter, a claim for a violation of a personality's right of publicity may not be asserted under this chapter unless the alleged act or event of violation occurs within Indiana.
(4) A claim for a violation of a personality's right of publicity may not be asserted under this chapter unless the alleged act or event of violation occurs after June 30, 1994.
(b) A written consent solicited or negotiated by an athlete agent (as defined in IC 25-5.2-1-2) from a student athlete (as defined in IC 25-5.2-1-2) is void if the athlete agent obtained the consent as the result of an agency contract that:
(1) was void under IC 25-5.2-2-2 or under the law of the state where the agency contract was entered into; or
(2) was voided by the student athlete, or, if the student athlete is a minor, by the parent or guardian of the student athlete, under IC 25-5.2-2-8 or a similar law in the state where the agency contract was entered into.
