TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BOOKING TALENT

1. Agreement

   Unless and until the booking confirmation form, containing the specific details of the booking, is signed by the client and returned to the Agency, all negotiations relating to the booking of the talent are strictly subject to contract. The signed booking confirmation form together with these terms and conditions, shall form the entire agreement between the client and the Agency relating to each booking. 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 the terms of the Agreement which shall apply to, bind the parties 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 an authorised representative of the Agency signing the booking confirmation form after the amendment and/or variation has been included on the booking confirmation form. In the event of any inconsistency or contradiction between these terms and conditions and the booking confirmation form, the booking contract shall prevail and bind the parties.

2. Location bookings

   When a location booking is made, a client must provide safe and appropriate transport for the talent both to the booking location and back again unless agreed otherwise. 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 talent in accordance with this section.

3. Other services

   Additional fees are also payable for other services to be supplied by the talent, either as part of a booking or as requested by a client on a shoot, for example, personal appearances for PR purposes and posting images on the talent's own social accounts and media feeds. Fees for such services will be negotiated on a case by case basis between the client and the Agency. The client shall only be permitted to shoot behind the scenes footage on the basis of an agreement in writing in advance and a payment of an additional fee agreed unless agreed otherwise.

4. All bookings

   Both the Agency fees and talent disbursement will be invoiced by the Agency.

5. Value added tax (VAT)

   All sums payable under the Agreement 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.

6. Invoicing

   On all invoices payment is required to be made by the client within 10 days of the date of the invoice. In all cases, the person booking the talent is the client, who will be invoiced and solely responsible for payment, unless otherwise agreed in writing at the time of booking. All fees for usage are for the right to use the talent'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 talent's image is permitted until the Agency has received payment 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.

7. Exclusivity

   Unless otherwise agreed in the booking confirmation form the talent is supplied to the client by the Agency on an exclusive basis and the talent shall not be free to provide similar and/or competing services to any third party and/or competing product or brand of the client except through the agency.

8. Provisional bookings

   Provisional bookings will be automatically cancelled if they are not confirmed by the client (by signing and returning the booking confirmation form) within 24 hours of the proposed booking.

9. Cancellations and Termination

   Within 24 hours of the booking call time the full booking fee will be charged and payable by the client unless the same talent is booked within 24 hours of the cancellation in which case half the booking fee will be charged and payable by the client.

10. Cancellation of booking by the Agency

    Should the Agency want to cancel a booking then it shall use reasonable endeavors to provide the client with reasonable notice, take steps to offer to the client a suitable replacement and/or substitute and take such other reasonable steps as are reasonably practicable to mitigate against such cancellation.

11. Morality and Non Degradation

    The client shall ensure any brand(s) for which it requires the talent to perform any services shall not create any association nor undertake any action which does or which has the potential to bring the Agency and/or the talent into disrepute, nor cause any damage to and/or degrade the reputation and/or goodwill associated with the Agency and/or the talent, by reason of that brand or activities associated with the brand prior to or during the term of this Agreement.

12. Contract and Authority

    All matters relating to the use of the talent's image and commercial modelling rights, any other services supplied by the talent and all fees must be negotiated and agreed only with the Agency. The client shall not attempt to negotiate, nor allow others to negotiate, with the talent directly. If the client or the photographer or any other person on their behalf or connected with them obtains the talent's signature on any document or the talent's purported verbal agreement to anything outside of the scope of the Agreement, such signature or verbal agreement shall not constitute a variation of the Agreement and is not binding on the talent or the Agency unless and until it is agreed in writing by the Agency (such agreement to be determined in the Agency's absolute discretion).
