Booking Fees   To Top

  1. All fees are based on the following:
    Full day = 8 hours
    Half day = 4 hours
    Minimum booking time = 2 hours
  2. Excluding equity contracts, model’s time will be charged at the hourly rate unless a half-day or full day booking has been pre-arranged in writing. Overtime is charged at the agreed hourly rate and taken to the next hour up.
  3. Both agency fees and model fees will be invoiced by the agent. Unless otherwise agreed at the time of booking, the agent's fee of 20% will be added to all modeling fees. Any agreed expenses will be added where appropriate.
  4. All fees quoted are for standard usage unless otherwise requested in writing. The standard use covers the right to use the image worldwide for up to 2 years unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Additional Fees  To Top

To be agreed at the time of booking: Additional fees are payable for the right to use the photographs (or reproductions, or adaptations of, or drawings there from, either complete or in part, alone or in conjunction with any wording or drawings including electronic imaging) for all known or anticipated purposes other than the initial permitted use. 

To be agreed after the booking: It is the client's responsibility to notify the agent and negotiate additional fees (including extensions of existing agreements) for any usage, which may be required or anticipated subsequent to the time of booking.

Exclusion Fees   To Top

A special fee will be negotiated when the work is in conjunction with a product, which preludes 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.

Complaints  To Top

Any cause for complaint should be reported to the agency when it arises. Complaints cannot be considered in retrospect.

Payment   To Top

1. On all invoices, payment is required within 15 days of the date of invoice. A 10% charge will be added to all invoices not settled within payment terms.

2. In all cases the person booking the model will be invoiced and solely responsible for payment, unless otherwise agreed in writing at the time of booking. We reserve the right to invoice the 'ultimate client' (i.e. designer/manufacturer/owner of the product in question).

Provisional Bookings   To Top

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.

Cancellation fees  To Top

If a booking is cancelled within three working days of the starting time 50% of the fee will be charged unless the same model is re-booked for another day and time within 24 hours.

Weather permitting bookings   To Top

If a booking is 'weather permitting' this must be made clear at the time of booking.  For weather permitting the job must be rescheduled within 5 business days.

Model Release Form   To Top

The Model Release form / booking voucher must be signed by the model and client at the end of every booking.

Meals   To Top

Clients are responsible for models' meals on bookings.

Fashion Shows   To Top

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.

Insurance   To Top

The client is responsible for the models health and safety while at the photo shoot. The client will maintain adequate insurance cover to underwrite its 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 loss, which might result if the model does not keep a booking because of ill health, or some other reason.

Copyright   To Top

The photographer is not entitled to use any of the images he/she takes for any usage beyond that agreed. The photographer to his extent agrees to restrict use of his/her copyright and, if the model agency 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.

General   To Top

All fees are to be negotiated only with Eden Talent.

  1. It is not permitted to use the photographs for any purpose whatsoever until all fees have been paid in full.
  2. We reserve the right to negotiate within the structure of these terms and conditions.
  3. These terms and conditions are without prejudice to any claim against the client.

Disputes  To Top

If for any reason either party decides to pursue a legal lawsuit, the losing party agrees to pay ALL legal costs incurred by BOTH parties.

Eden Talent opened its doors in 2005 as an exclusive model management company, representing a unique and individual style of men, women and children. Eden Talent seeks to represent a wide variety of looks, with the emphasis on those models who possess a mix of beauty, allure and individuality.

Eden Talent is different in that we will never turn a job down without first offering it to our talent.  Therefore, we can work with flexible rights and usage and within varied budgets. With our knowledgeable booking agents and deep dedication to both models and clients, we believe that Eden Talent embodies the future of model management.
