These Terms and Conditions are operated by EMG Models (“EMG”). The information contained herein along with the information recorded on any combination of voucher (“Voucher”), booking confirmation form (“Booking Confirmation”), and release (“Release”) shall form the agreement between the parties relating to each instance of procurement of service of a Model or Talent (“Model”) by a Client (“Client”).

Booking Agreement. Upon confirmation of a booking, Booking Confirmation containing the specific terms of the booking must be signed and returned by the Client and the signed Booking Confirmation form together with these terms and conditions shall form the agreement between the parties relating to each booking. The failure to sign and/or return Booking Confirmation while 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 Model and Client. Any amendment and/or variations made to the booking by the Client shall not be valid and binding unless Model has agreed to such amendment and/or variation and confirmed such amendment and/or variations with EMG by signing the Booking Confirmation after the amendment and/or variation has been included on the Booking Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency or contradiction between these Terms and Conditions and the Booking Confirmation, these terms and conditions shall prevail and bind the parties.

Contractors. EMG is not a contractor for the services agreed between Models and Clients. Clients and Models are responsible for the performance and/or fulfilment of agreements they entered with one another. Models are independent contracts and not employees of EMG.

Booking Requests. Requests for Bookings will be accepted by email, phone and in person. Bookings considered tentative and not binding on either party unless confirmed in writing within twenty-four (24) hours from the proposal of the booking by email.

Permitted Use. Unless agreed otherwise and included on the Booking Confirmation, booking fees provide an entitlement and right for the Clint to use the images, likeness or video only for the usage agreed upon and documented on the Booking Confirmation, and for only that usage (“Permitted Use”).

Please note that such permitted use and entitlement is strictly subject to payment in full of all fees owed to Model prior to the image’s first use.

A half day is 4 (four) consecutive hours or less
A day is any 5 (five) to 8 (eight) hour period between 9am and 6pm (9am - 5pm or 10am - 6pm) including one our lunch break.

The Client is responsible for ensuring that all photographers present are aware of this condition and the Client will procure that they abide by these conditions. If any other usage is required (included, but not limited to, look books, ecommerce and broadcasting and/or live streaming of the specified show), it must be negotiated and agreed with the Model, via EMG as Model’s manager.

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 Model specifically agrees otherwise, in writing, no usage for the Model's image is permitted until payment is received in full.

EMG Fees. The EMG charges EMG Client Service Fee (“Service fee”) on all booking 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. Both Service Fee and Model Fees will be invoiced by the EMG. Client also shall owe EMG a fee for any subsequent bookings as long as Model is represented by EMG.

Failure to Make Payment. If the Client fails to pay in full on the due date, the amount outstanding shall bear interest both before and after any judgment at eighteen percent (18%) per annum compounding daily from the due date until up to and including the date that payment is made in full. Furthermore, the Client shall be responsible to pay for all expenses and costs incurred in recovering any outstanding monies, including debt collection fees or Solicitor's costs that may arise.

An additional fee will need to be agreed prior the booking when the use of Mode's image or the service to be supplied by a Model in relation to a product is required on an exclusive or semi‐exclusive basis (for example sector specific or territorial exclusivity)
Should there be any question regarding the definition of exclusivity or the definition of a competing product, the Model will use his or her best judgment. Model can supply services to and allow use of Model's image by any competitor unless such an exclusivity fee is negotiated and paid by Client. It is Client's responsibility to carry out any research and determine whether use of the Model’s image creates a conflict. Model agrees to cooperate with any such research.

Cancellation of booking by the Client. Cancellations that are received within 24 (twenty-four) business hours of the booking call time will not relieve the Client of its responsibility to pay in full the fees established in any prior communication, be it email, Booking Confirmation or other document.

In the event of Model cancellation or flight/travel cancellations, EMG will make best efforts to offer the Client a suitable replacement. It is the responsibility of the Client, not EMG, to procure the necessary insurance.

Weather Permit Cancellations. If a booking is 'weather permitting' this must be made clear at the time of booking. At the first cancellation, half the fee is charged if not rescheduled within two weeks of the original booking date. At the second cancellation, the full fee is then charged.
