Terms & Conditions ​ Terms and conditions for booking models Issued by the Association of Model Agents TV Commercials and Television contract engagements are subjected to British Equity Terms & Conditions unless otherwise agreed in writing. ​ 1. Terms and conditions As required by Department of Employment regulations, the Agency’s booking confirmation form, containing the specific terms of the booking, must be signed and returned by the client. The failure to sign and/or return the booking confirmation form whilst proceeding with the booking will be deemed to be an acceptance by the client of these terms and conditions and they shall apply to and govern the booking between the Agency and the client. Any amendment and/or variations made to the booking confirmation form by the client shall not be valid and binding unless the Agency has agreed to such amendment and/or variation in advance and confirmed such agreement by signing the booking confirmation form after the amendment and/or variation has been included on the booking confirmation form. ​ 2. Booking fees a) Permitted use Unless agreed otherwise and included on the booking confirmation form, booking fees provide an entitlement and right for the client to use one image via a single published medium for one year from the date of the booking, in the United Kingdom only, for the initial permitted use. Please note that such permitted use and entitlement is strictly subject to payment in full of all fees owed to the Agency. b) Daily/hourly rate A ‘day’ is an 8-hour period including one hour for lunch, between 09.00 and 18.00 (usually 9am to 5pm or 10am to 6pm) An extra hour between 9am and 6pm is charged at the normal rate – the appropriate overtime rate is charged only before 9am or after 6pm. Any booking which is over 5 hours will be charged at the day rate. Booking fees are charged by the day or by the hour, or on an alternative basis, for example, a set fee for a catwalk show.

If the client fails to provide such transport then the Agency shall be entitled to re-charge the cost of the transport procured for the model in accordance with section 2f).

Additional fees To be agreed at the time of the booking or before any additional usage a) Usage Additional fees are payable for the right to use the model's image or reproductions, or adaptations of, or drawings derived from that image, or any other representation of it, either complete or in part whether alone or in conjunction with any wording or other images, photographs, drawings or anticipated purposes other than the initial permitted use, details of which will be set out in the booking confirmation form, e.g. packs, posters, showcards, record covers, swing tickets etc. Unless otherwise agreed, the additional fees cover the right to use one image for one year from the date of booking, in the United Kingdom only, for the permitted use or uses or purposes agreed between the Agency and the client. Under no circumstances will each additional usage fee be less than the model's advertising day rate as determined by the Agency unless determined otherwise by the Agency in its absolute discretion. b) Territory Additional fees are also payable for the right to use the model's image or reproductions etc, as set out in section 3a) above for all known or anticipated territories other than the United Kingdom. Unless otherwise agreed the additional fees cover the right to use one image for one year or one season (as determined by the Agency at the date of booking) from the date of booking, in the territory or territories agreed and stipulated on the booking form. Under no circumstances will each usage fee be less than the model's advertising day rate as determined by the Agency unless determined otherwise by the Agency in its absolute discretion. c) Other services Additional fees are also payable for other services to be supplied by the model, for example, personal appearances for PR purposes. Fees for such services will be negotiated on a case by case basis. ​ 4. Agency Fees a) All bookings apart from equity contract TV commercials The agency charges a supplement of 20% on all fees including without limitation hourly, daily and overtime fees and all fees for the right to use and all fees negotiated for any other service to be supplied by the model.

Unless otherwise agreed at the time of booking the model disbursement is included at 66.7% and the agent's fee at 33.3% of the invoice total. b) Equity contract TV commercials in the United Kingdom The fee negotiated by the Agency is the model’s fee from which an agency commission will be deducted at 20% of the invoice total. c) Non equity contract TV commercials worldwide The model disbursement and agency fees will be charged in accordance with 4a) and applies to all commercials shot for use outside the UK irrespective of where the fee is paid. d) Value added tax All sums payable under these terms and conditions are exclusive of VAT and any other similar or equivalent taxes or duties which shall be payable in full without set off by the client. ​ 5. Invoicing On all invoices payment is required to be made by the client within 30 days of the date of the invoice. In all cases, the person booking the model is the client, who will be invoiced and solely responsible for payment, unless otherwise agreed in writing at the time of booking. the Agency reserves the right in its discretion to invoice the 'ultimate client', (eg. designer/ manufacturer/owner of the product in question). For example, this may be done if the client is booking on behalf of the ultimate client, in which case the client and the ultimate client are jointly and severally liable to pay all of the fees and settle the invoice accordingly. All fees for usage are for the right to use the model's image and, once agreed, are payable whether or not the right is exercised. Unless the Agency specifically agrees otherwise, in writing, no usage for the model's image is permitted until payment is made in full. The agency reserves the right to alter payment terms if it deems appropriate, prior to booking. If the client fails to pay in full on the due date any amount which is payable to the Agency, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Agency, the amount outstanding shall bear interest both before and after any judgment at five per cent per annum over Barclays Bank plc base rate from time to time from the due date until up to and including the date that payment is made in full and such interest shall be compounded and accrued on a daily basis. ​ 6. Exclusivity fees Unless agreed otherwise the model is supplied to the client by the Agency on a non-exclusive basis and the model shall be free to provide similar and/or competing services to any third party and/or competing product or brand of the client. An additional fee will need to be agreed when the use of the model's image or the service to be supplied by a model in relation to a product is required on an exclusive or semi-exclusive (for example sector specific exclusivity) basis which precludes supplying services or allowing the use of the model's image for competing and/or particular sector of products or within a particular territory. A model can supply services to and allow use of the model's image by any competitor unless such an exclusivity fee is negotiated and paid by the client. It is the client's responsibility to carry out any research and check whether the model supplied has undertaken or is booked to undertake any conflicting work. ​ 7. Provisional bookings Provisional bookings will be automatically cancelled if they are not confirmed by the client (by signing the booking confirmation form) within 24 hours of the proposed booking. ​ 8.

The client shall not attempt to negotiate, nor allow others to negotiate, with the models directly.
