AGENCY FEES

a) All bookings excepting equity contract TV commercials: The agent charges a supplement of 20% on all hourly, daily and usage fees. Both agency fees and model fees will be invoiced by the agent. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of booking the model disembursement is included at 66.7% and the agent’s fee at 33.3% of the total invoice. VAT and any agreed expenses will be added where appropriate.

b) Equity contract TV commercials: The fee negotiated by the agent is the artist’s fee from which agency commission will be deducted at 20% of the invoice total. VAT and any agreed expenses will be added where appropriate.

On all invoices payment is required within 30 days of the date of invoice. In all cases the person booking the model will be invoiced and solely responsible for payment, unless otherwise agreed at the time of booking. We reserve the right to invoice the “ultimate client” (i.e. designer/manufacturer/owner of the product in question). All fees are for the right to use pictures and, once agreed, are payable whether or not the use is appropriated.

EXCLUSION FEES: All fees will be negotiated when the work is in conjunction with a product which precludes work for competing products. It is the client’s responsibility to check whether conflicting work has been done. If a model advertises a product he/she is able to work for any competitor unless an exclusion fee is negotiated.

PROVISIONAL BOOKINGS

Provisional bookings will be automatically cancelled if they are not confirmed within 24 hours of the proposed booking, or if a definite booking is offered and the provisional cannot be confirmed.

CANCELLATIONS

If a booking is cancelled within one working day of the starting time the full fee will be charged unless the same model is re-booked within 24 hours in which case half the fee will be charged. If a booking is cancelled outside the one day period but within two working days of the starting time, then half the fee will be charged. However if a booking is cancelled because of illness or some other reason beyond the models’ or agents’ control (and upon production of the appropriate evidence) the model shall not be liable for cancellation charges.

This is a reciprocal arrangement between model and client.

Weather permitting bookings: At the first cancellation, a half-fee is charged unless the client fails to cancel in the time to prevent the model’s attendance, when the full fee is payable. At the second cancellation the full fee is charged.

MEALS

Clients are responsible for model’s meals on all bookings outside the London area (see ‘Travel’)

FASHION SHOWS

Payment of the agreed fee confers the right to make use of a model’s services on the catwalk for the specified show and the right to use photographs and video of the show for REPORTING PURPOSES ONLY. Any other usage must be negotiated at the time of booking. It is the clients’ responsibility to ensure that all photographers present are aware of this condition and abide by it.

VIDEOS

All fees will be invoiced to the record company. For all videos the normal daily rate will apply PLUS a buy-out to be negotiated.

TEST & EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY

A photographer is not entitled to use test and experimental photographs for commercial purposes unless specific have been made before the session.

COPYRIGHT

The photographer is not entitled to use any of the images he/she takes for any usage beyond that agreed under sections titled ‘Booking Fees - Permitted Use’ and ‘Additional Fees’. The photographer to this extent agrees to restrict use of his copyright and, if the model agency’s client is not a photographer, the client is to draw these terms and conditions to the attention of the photographer and obtain his/her agreement to them before the shoot commences.

INSURANCE

The client is responsible for the model’s health and safety when the model is travelling, or providing services, in connection with the booking to the same extent as if the model were an employee of the client. The client will maintain adequate insurance cover to underwrite his obligations to the model.

 

The agent is not responsible if the model fails to attend the booking. The client is advised to insure against any losses which might result if the model does not keep a booking because of ill health or some other reason.

JURISDICTION

These terms and conditions for booking and all other matters connected with the booking are governed by English law and any dispute will be settled in accordance with that by a court in England.

COMPLAINTS

PLEASE NOTE

The above Terms and Conditions of Take 2 Model Management (the supplier of services) take precedence over any terms and conditions which may be received from the client even if these terms and conditions have a clause similar to this.

All fees are to be negotiated only with Take 2 Model Management. The model’s image may not be used until all fees are paid full. Whilst every endeavor is made to provide satisfactory and efficient service to our clients we cannot be held responsible for a model’s conduct on an assignment.

We reserve the right to negotiate within the structure of these terms and conditions.
