2.2 The Booking Confirmation together with these Terms shall form the entire agreement between the Client and the Select Agency relating to each booking.

Booking fees provide an entitlement and right for the Client to use one image via a single published medium (unless otherwise agreed in the Booking Confirmation) from the date of the booking, in the territory and for the duration and purposes specified in the Booking Confirmation (Permitted Use). The rights granted in this section are strictly subject to prompt payment in full of all fees owed to the Select Agency prior to the image’s first use. No right to reprint or make any other use other than the Permitted Use is granted to the Client unless approved by the Select Agency subject to section 4.1 (Additional Usage).
3.2 Working Hours and Overtime. The Model working hours shall be monitored and shall comply with local laws ensuring compliance with legal requirements applicable to time. Fees are charged by the day or by the hour. A ‘day’ is an 8-hour period (including one hour for lunch) between 9am and 6pm (e.g. 9am-5pm or 10am-6pm). An extra hour between 9am and 6pm is charged at the normal rate. The appropriate overtime rate is charged before 9am and after 6pm. Overtime is charged at one-and-a half times the hourly rate. Saturdays are charged at one-and-a half times the hourly rate and Sundays or bank holidays are charged at double the hourly rate.

3.6.2 When a location booking is made, the Client will undertake an appropriate and prudent health and safety assessment of the location and shall notify the Select Agency of any potential risks and how these have been mitigated in accordance with good industry practice and applicable law. The Client acknowledges and agrees that at all times the Model’s health and safety is of paramount importance and shall ensure that the highest standards of health and safety are complied with whilst on any location bookings.
4. Additional Fees
4.1 Additional Usage. All additional fees are to be agreed at the time of the booking or before any additional usage in accordance with section. 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 which are in addition to and outside the scope of the Permitted Use, details of which are set out in the Booking Confirmation, e.g. packaging, point of sale, posters etc. For the avoidance of doubt, 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 online or in any digital media including but not limited to on all social media platforms. Unless otherwise agreed and set out in the Booking Confirmation, the additional fees cover the right to use one image for the Permitted Use. Under no circumstances will each additional usage fee be less than the Model’s advertised day rate as determined by the Select Agency unless determined otherwise by the Select Agency in its absolute discretion. For further avoidance of doubt, the Client shall send a digital copy of all the Model images to the Select Agency within 24 hours from the first usage.

Unless otherwise agreed the additional fees cover the right to use one image for the Permitted Use in the territory or territories agreed and stipulated on the booking form.

Additional fees are also payable for other services to be supplied by the Model, 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 Model’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 Select 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 pursuant to this section 4.3 (Other Services).
4.4 All modifications, extensions and renewal of bookings shall be at the sole discretion of the Select Agency.
5. Select Agency Fees
5.1 All Bookings. Both the Select Agency fees and Model disbursement will be invoiced by the Select Agency. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of booking the Model disbursement is [80%] and the Select Agency fee is [20%] of the invoice total.

6. Invoicing
6.1 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 Select Agency reserves the right in its discretion to invoice the ‘ultimate Client’, (e.g. 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 Select Agency specifically agrees otherwise, in writing, no usage for the Model’s image is permitted until the Select Agency has received payment in full. The Select Agency reserves the right to alter payment terms if it deems appropriate, prior to booking.
6.2 If the Client fails to pay in full on the due date any amount which is payable (a) to the Select Agency, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Select Agency, the amount outstanding shall bear interest both before and after any judgment corresponding to the higher of (i) three times the legal interest rate of the applicable jurisdiction or (ii) 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.
6.3 In the event the Client is providing the services on behalf of or to a third-party end user, in entering into these Terms the Client is acting in its capacity as the agent of the third-party end user and the Client shall ensure that the third-party end user:
6.3.1 enters into an agreement with the Client on the same terms as these Terms;
6.3.2 acknowledges its obligations to the Select Agency including but not limited to the obligation to pay the Select Agency within 30 days of the date of any invoice received from the Select Agency; and
6.3.3 acknowledges that the third-party end user may not use the images until payment is received by the Select Agency and that at all times the third-party end user is subject to any restrictions as to use of the images including but not limited to territorial restrictions and restrictions as to media in which the images may be used.
6.4 Any fees received by the Client from the third-party end user relating to any of the rights or benefits conferred on the Client by these Terms shall be deposited in a designated Select Agency account by the Client (the Third-Party End User Fees). The Third-Party End User Fees shall be held on trust for the Select Agency as beneficiary until such time as all outstanding fees owed by the Client are paid in accordance with the terms of these Terms.
7. Exclusivity Fees
7.1 Unless otherwise agreed in the Booking Confirmation the Model is supplied to the Client by the Select 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.
7.2 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 or territorial 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, check and determine for itself whether the Model supplied has undertaken or is booked to undertake any conflicting work.
