Both agency fees and model fees will be invoiced by the agent.
Exclusion Fees
A fee will be negotiated when the work is for a company/product which preludes work for competing products. It is the clients 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.

Videos
The normal daily rates will apply for all videos plus a buy-out to be negotiated.
Insurance
The client is responsible for the models health and safety when the model is travelling, or providing services in connection with the booking to the same extent as if the model were an employee of the client. The client will maintain adequate insurance cover to underwrite its obligations to the model.
