Fees

Should your child (aged 17 and below) be accepted to join ModelMe Management, you will be asked for a small administration payment to cover a fully customisable profile page for your child, this is currently £30 for one year. A fee of £30 will only be requested after 30 days if you have selected “Acting & Photographic/Still Modelling”, this will cover the remaining 11 months of the contract.  Performers selecting Acting will also be submitted for photographic shoots but no fee is charged for this. If you select “PHOTOGRAPHIC ONLY” NO UPFRONT PAYMENT will be requested, a fee of £30 will be deducted from your child’s first earnings.

This is in compliance with the BIS current legislation. You will have the option when registering, which service you would like to apply for.

We do not charge any fees for adults aged 18 or over save for our commission rates.

For further information on our compliance with fees please refer to https://www.gov.uk/entertainment-and-modelling-agencies

ModelMe Management allows a 14 day “cooling off” period on all our contracts. You have 14 days from the date you return your signed contract to cancel and receive a full refund of all monies paid. Cancellation must be received no later than day 14 and must be received in writing. After this time no refunds will be issued.

By accepting these terms and conditions it is understood that ModelMe Management does not purchase the services of a Model or Performer. ModelMe Management act as an intermediary between Model/Performer and the end user for which ModelMe Management is entitled to receive commission.

Commission

ModelMe Management does not purchase the services of a Model or Performer. ModelMe Management act as an intermediary between Model/Performer and the end user for which ModelMe Management is entitled to receive commission.  All bookings will be invoiced by the agency to the company involved. On receipt of monies, payment will be made directly to the model/performer, the model/performer therefore requires their own bank account, we cannot pay a child’s earnings into a parents bank account.  For children aged 17 years and below, ModelMe Management deduct a 25% agency commission fee from monies received this is excluding Chaperone and Casting/Recall Fees which we pass on in full with no commission deducted. Adults over 18, ModelMe Management deduct a 10% agency commission fee from monies received, excluding any travel and casting/recall fees which we pass on in full with no commission deducted.

Show Log

At the bottom of each profile there is a show log link – clicking on this will show you the jobs you/your child has been submitted for. This only includes briefs that are not submitted via another medium (i.e Spotlight and Casting Networks). This information is confidential and commercially sensitive and is not to be shared – anyone who shares this information is liable to have their/their child’s account immediately terminated.

Photographs

We prefer our clients have photos taken by a professional photographer – this is so the photos we put on model cards and submit to casting directors show the models and actors at their best, it creates a good image of both the agency and the client.

We don’t stipulate who takes the photos so you can use a local photographer to yourselves, we just ask that pictures taken are PORTRAIT orientated and that there is at least 1 head and shoulder and 1 full length shot.  We require 4 photos to complete your model card. Photographs containing photographers watermarks cannot be accepted.

Home taken photos are acceptable as long as they are clear, taken against a plain background and well lit – there are plenty of great advice pages that can help with home taken snaps.

Casting Rules

You are responsible for letting the agency know if you/your child is unavailable for castings or self tapes for ANY reason. This should be done via the notes section of your online profile and/or Tagmin. If you/your child is offered a casting/tape and you decline the casting/tape and have not noted the unavailability on the system this will be classed as a “Strike”. A strike will also be issued if we do not receive a reply to our self tape or casting contact.

If you/your child accepts a self tape and does not deliver the self tape a strike will also be issued. If you/your child incurs 3 strikes within a 12 month period ModelMe Management reserves the right to terminate the representation with immediate effect and with no refund for any services paid. You will be notified of any “Strikes” incurred in writing (usually via email).

Payments

It is usual that you will receive payment within 90 days although this can be dependant upon when payment is received from the payer. As an agency we will pass on all payments to our talent with 10 days of it being received by our finance department. This will be issued via bank transfer or cheque in the name of the person who completed the job. In the case of children payment is via cheque only and will be issued in the childs name so please ensure they have a bank account that this can be paid into. Under no circumstances will payment be made in any other name.

If you require a cheque to be reissued there will be a deduction of an administration fee of £10 to cover the “stop cheque” charge on the initial cheque and time and postage to issue the replacement.

We make no deductions from casting, recall, travel or chaperone fees.

Other Agencies

We are a “Non Sole” agency which means you are free to also have contracts with other agents/agencies. We do not restrict who you can or cannot be with however other agencies/agents may have restrictions of their own. It is your responsibility to check with other agents/agencies that you are able to have multiple representation. If we obtain a job or casting we will claim any associated fees/commissions from that job regardless of any other agents/agencies you or your child may be represented by.

Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.
Upon termination by ourselves, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.
