3.7 The Talent shall submit a written brief account of their assignment experience on each and every occasion. It need only be a paragraph or two but for the benefit of our clients and models your experience will be of interest.

4. The Company’s Obligation
4.1 Subject always to the performance and strict observance by the Talent of all of the Talent’s obligations hereunder the Company shall use all of its reasonable endeavours to secure Assignments suitable for the Talent. For the avoidance of doubt, the primary and often sole method by which the Company shall seek to secure Assignments for its Talent is by use of the Online Publication
4.2 Prior to the Talent’s acceptance of the Offer of Representation made to him/her, and prior to payment of the administration fee more particularly described in 8.2 below, the Talent is invited and encouraged to inspect the current edition of the Online Publication. The Online Publication can be accessed in limited form (for security reasons) at www.modelsdirect.com or access to the full Online Publication is available to the Talent by attending the Company’s premises
4.3 The Company shall provide the Representation to the Talent throughout the Term in such manner as it in its sole discretion believes is necessary in order to comply with its obligation as set out in 4.1 above

5. Notifications to the Talent
5.1 The Company hereby confirms that (subject to clause 7 below) it is permitted to charge the Talent an administration fee which is the reasonable estimate of the costs incurred in the production and circulation of the Online Publication and inclusion of the Talent therein pursuant to and subject to regulation 26 of the Regulations
5.2 For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not charge the Talent for the Representation
5.3 The Company shall not charge the Talent the administration fee in accordance with 5.1 during the Cooling Off Period

The Company’s authority to act on the Talent’s behalf extends only to the Company’s attempts to procure Assignments for the Talent and to represent the Talent in order to achieve the same, but the Company has no authority to enter into Assignments with Clients on the Talent’s behalf without the Talent first having confirmed to the Company his/her agreement to so enter (in which case the Talent has granted the Company authority to enter into a contract with the Client on his/her behalf), and the Company has no authority to enter into any other contracts with Clients or third parties on the Talent’s behalf
5.8 Any abusive or aggressive behaviour toward our Company staff, Clients or fellow registered Talent will not be tolerated and will result in your representation being suspended with immediate effect. Aggressive or abusive behaviour includes any language (whether verbal or written) that may cause staff to feel afraid, alarmed, threatened or abused and may include threats, personal verbal abuse, derogatory remarks and rudeness. We also consider inflammatory statements, remarks of a racial or discriminatory nature and unsubstantiated allegations to be abusive behaviour.

6. Payment in respect of Assignments

6.1 Further to 2.4 above, the Company will collect from the Client all gross income in respect of an Assignment. The gross income received will be divided between the Company and the Talent in the agreed proportions and after the Company has retained their proportion of the gross income received, the Talent’s agreed proportion will hereinafter be referred to as the Fees. The Company will then, pursuant to regulation 25 of the Regulations, send to the Talent payment of the Fees by no later than the end of the second business day following the day on which the talent feedback was received by the Company (or if received by way of cheque made payable to the Company the day on which such cheque clears) or, if not, it shall place such sums in a designated client account and will send the Talent payment of the Fees within ten days beginning with the day the gross income was received by the Company (or if received by way of cheque made payable to the Company the day on which such cheque clears)
6.2 Any Fees held by the Company are held as trustee for the Talent and the Company shall honour all of the Talents rights in respect of those Fees as set out in the Regulations.
6.3 Where an Assignment is cancelled by the Client prior to its commencement the Talent will be entitled to receive the full Fees if cancelled within one working day of the intended start time (unless the Talent is rebooked for an Assignment of reasonable equivalence within 24 hours in which case you will receive half the Fees), half of the Fees if cancelled within two working days of the intended start time but no Fees if cancelled earlier than that. In the event that an Assignment was due to last for more than three days you will receive the full Fees if this Assignment is cancelled within a period equal in length (including working days only) to that of the intended Assignment

7. Modelling Acknowledgment
7.1 The Talent acknowledges that he/she understands that he/she is not being charged for the inclusion of his/her fashion and photographic modelling Profile (if any) within the Online Publication or for any work finding services in relation to modelling assignments (if any desired by the Talent)
7.2 The Talent is aware that if his/her Profile solely relates to fashion and photographic modelling, then he/she will not be charged the administration fee or any other fee to the Company and the Company shall bear all of the costs of the inclusion of the Talent’s modelling Profile in the Online Publication and of the Representation generally

8. Talent’s Acknowledgment
8.1 The Talent is aware that he/she will only be charged an administration fee in respect of the inclusion of those parts of his/her Profile (if any) which relate to his/her acting/dancing/entertaining/singing/musical and other talent and which are to be included in the Online Publication
8.2 The Talent hereby acknowledges that he/she understands that he/she is not making (or being asked for) any payment to the Company in respect of the work-finding services it may provide (subject to 8.3) or in respect of the Representation given to the Talent by the Company throughout the Term as set out in its Offer of Representation or at all
8.3 The Talent hereby acknowledges that the only payment he/she is required to make to the Company throughout the Term, and subject at all times to 8.1 above, is an administration fee which is payable after the Cooling Off Period. The Talent acknowledges and accepts that the Company earmarks the funds by taking the Talent’s credit card details on the commencement of the Term but and the funds are only taken by the Company after the Cooling Off Period has lapsed
8.4 The Talent acknowledges that the administration fee is a payment which is equivalent to a reasonable estimate of the cost to the Company of establishing, maintaining and operating the Online Publication (and for arranging inclusion of the Talent’s Profile thereon) and that such fee is charged pursuant to regulation 26 of the Regulations. The Talent also acknowledges that the significant proportion of the costs to the Company in administering the Online Publication are incurred during year one of the Term, but that ongoing costs are incurred in subsequent years
8.5 The Talent acknowledges his/her right (in line with 9 below) to cancel or withdraw the contract with the Company during the Cooling Off Period and notes that he/she will not be charged the administration fee if he/she exercises this right.
8.6 The Talent hereby acknowledges that nothing in these Terms and Conditions, nor any conduct of the parties, shall create or be deemed to create or imply the relationship of employer and employee between the Company and the Talent
8.7 The Talent hereby acknowledges that, subject to 4.1 above, the Company is not in a position to guarantee that any Assignments will be secured, nor does the Talent expect the Company to so guarantee and the Talent hereby confirms that no representations have been made to him/her by the Company which have given such a guarantee
8.8 The Talent confirms that he/she consents for his/her photograph(s) and/or image(s) taken on any Assignment/s, paid or otherwise, may be used by the Client and/or the Company for the commercial reasons they were taken and over whatever time period and market area agreed between the Talent, Company and Client at the time of the booking.  Further, the Talent also confirms consent for any relevant information including photos / audio / video clips, ePortfolio and CV submitted by the Talent to the Company to be posted on the Online Publication.
8.9 The Talent Acknowledges it's really important you have realistic expectations about modelling. While we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure our models are put forward for any opportunity where their look and skills are called for, it doesn't mean they are guaranteed work.
It is quite possible therefore, that you may not get shortlisted, or indeed even though you are emailed as shortlisted, you may never be selected by our clients. That decision always lies with the clients and we do not make any guarantees to you as to if, or how often, you will be selected.
Equally, some of our models have had assignments within weeks, or even days of registering.
However, we must emphasize the reality that while we work hard representing all those registered with us, modelling is extremely competitive, and increasingly so for our younger models.

9. Termination
9.1 Without prejudice to any other remedy or right available to it the Company shall be entitled to terminate its Representation of the Talent at any point during the Term with immediate effect, and to remove the Talent from the Online Publication, in the event that the Talent is in breach of any of his/her obligations within these Terms and Conditions
9.2 The Talent shall be entitled to immediately terminate the Representation of him/her at any point during the Cooling Off Period by giving the Company notice in writing. The Talent will not be charged the administration fee should he/she terminate the Representation during the Cooling Off Period.
9.3 After the Cooling Off Period, the Talent may terminate the Representation with immediate effect by giving the Company written notice (and the Company shall withdraw the Talent’s Profile from the Online Publication as soon as is practicable). The Company is not legally obliged to give a refund in respect of the administration fee (if paid) should the Talent cancel after the Cooling Off Period (subject to 9.4 below); however the Company will give a refund when validly requested by Talent in line with the Company’s refund policy (a copy of which is available from the Company upon request).
9.4 The Talent shall be entitled to a full refund of the administration fee if his/her Profile is not produced in the Online Publication within the 60 day period from the commencement of the Term

10. General
10.1 No variation to these Terms and Conditions shall be binding unless agreed in writing between an authorised representative of the Company and the Talent
10.2 Any representations made by the Company or any of its employees, sub-contractors or agents (or Talent) concerning the business of the Company, its Clients or any Assignment shall not be incorporated into these Terms and Conditions unless evidenced by the Company in writing
10.3 The Talent hereby confirms that he/she is not relying upon any representation and even if so hereby waives any claim for breach of such representation unless evidenced in writing as referred to in 10.2 above
10.4 If any clause or provision of these Terms and Conditions shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction then the remainder of these Terms and Conditions will not be affected and shall remain in force
10.5 Any notice or other communication made by the Talent to the Company shall be in writing and delivered by hand, post or facsimile to the Company’s registered office
10.6 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as constituting a partnership or joint venture between the parties
10.7 No waiver by either party of any breach of these Terms and Conditions shall be considered as a waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provision

Your consent

By registering on this website or otherwise, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your personal information under the terms of this privacy policy.

Where you are a Minor, your Parent acknowledges Parental Responsibility for you and accepts the terms of this privacy policy on the same terms (and adopting here the same definitions of ‘Minor’, ‘Parent’ and ‘Parental Responsibility’ included and) set out in our Terms of Use

What personal information do we gather from you?

We gather personal information such as contact names, birth dates, e-mail addresses, addresses, mobile telephone numbers, job/talent descriptions, photographs, and your comments and/or messages (possibly including details of your qualifications, experience and related statistics) that you provide voluntarily when you fill in appropriate sections of our website. For example when you complete our respective on-line registration and Contact Us forms in order to provide information about products and/or services you wish to supply to us and/or products and/or services you wish to purchase from us, and when you provide and/or request details of your/our products and services, you provide us with personal information which we hold and use for the purposes set out in the next section. We may also keep details of your visits to our site including, but not limited to traffic data, location data, weblogs, user actions and other communication data.

Use of your personal information

Our main aim in gathering your personal information is to provide you with a customised service.

We will process all the personal information we collect and hold on you fairly and in accordance with applicable law. As further explained in this privacy policy, we will ensure the quality and security of your personal information (even if the personal information are transferred to third party organisations in Europe or elsewhere, as set out below); and we will fully respect your rights, interests and fundamental freedoms with regard to your personal information.

We will only collect, record, process and store data which are needed to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you, our customers, our partners within the ITL Network (as defined below) and the customers of our partners; to serve other legitimate business interests such as credit assessment or marketing; or to comply with legal requirements.

Specifically, if you (whether on your own or another’s behalf) fill in your details on for example our respective on-line registration and Contact Us forms, we use your personal information in order that we can contact you and respond to any questions, enquiries and needs that you may have and we will send to you by one or more of mail, telephone, fax, automated telephone call, e-mail, SMS text message or other electronic means marketing information and news, for example, relating to new product and/or service offerings, special offers, competitions and other promotions and offers, as requested by you or that we consider may be of interest to you. We also use your personal information so that we can carry out your requests by you for our provision of services or our procurement of such services by one or more of our partners within the ITL Network (as defined below). If you purchase products and services by telephone, on-line or face to face as appropriate and available from time to time, we collect data so that the products and/or services can be supplied to you and services performed as efficiently as possible. We may also use aggregate personal information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our products and services and may provide such aggregate personal information to third parties. These statistics will not include any data that can be used to identify any individual.

However, please note that we will not contact you for these above purposes unless you authorise us to do so by either ticking the relevant boxes (i.e. during registration on the website) to authorise us to make such contact or you provide such authorisation in writing to us or electronically via the website (if applicable).

When we collect personal information from you, we will by way of Data Protection Notice identify ourselves and inform you of the purpose(s) for which we collect the personal information. If we are collecting personal information from you on behalf of a selected third party organisation outside of the ITL Network (as defined below) we will identify that selected company (the "controller" in terms of the European data protection regime) and explain that we are acting as the agent (or "processor", if appropriate) for that other third party organisation. If we have obtained personal information on you other than directly from you, we will inform you of this as soon as practicable after we have entered the personal information in our files or computers (unless you were already aware of the fact). We may also record or monitor telephone calls to and from any of the parties within the ITL Network (as defined below) without notification, for staff training and quality control purposes.

If, at some time in the future, we wish to use your personal information in ways other than those set out in this privacy policy and requiring your prior consent, then we will notify you about this and seek your permission to do so.

Sharing of personal information

We may share personal information within the ITL Network (“ITL Network”); by this expression, we mean the ITL group, and each and any of ITL group’s subsidiaries, together with its officers, employees, licensee agents, other agents, distributors, consultants, suppliers, hirers, customers and certain selected third party organisations. The ITL Network will process your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy and all privacy and communications legislation.

Those selected third party organisations are either our partners who perform a function relating to our purchasing or provision of products and services, promotions and/or offers, or are agencies and suppliers whom we have retained to assist us to more effectively fulfil orders, manage and conduct our business generally, provide technical assistance and support and perform other functions to support our marketing activities.

We may pass your personal data to third parties for the provision of services on our behalf (for example processing your payment). However, we will only ever share information about you that is necessary to provide the service and we have specific contracts in place, which ensure your personal data is secure and will not be used for any marketing purposes.

All selected third party organisations may have access to personal information if needed to perform such functions, but will only be permitted by us to use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function (which may include one to which you have expressly given your consent) and not for any other purpose

In order to provide products and/or services to you, we do envisage our wishing to transfer personal information about you to any member or members of the ITL Network or outside of the EEA, data processing agencies ("processors"), selected companies or third party organisations outside the EU or the EEA for analysis, technical processing or other legitimate purposes. The countries where such other facilities or companies or third party organisations are situated may have no data protection legislation, or laws which are less rigorous than the legislation introduced by the Member States of the EU and the EEA. In such cases, we will ensure that your rights with regards to any such processing and your personal information will still be adequately protected. Within the ITL Network, we have agreed world-wide acceptance of the European standards with regard to the transfer of personal information. If we transfer your data to agencies or third parties organisations outside the EEA, we require similar, binding contractual undertakings, and we monitor compliance. Our selected companies have agreed to adopt equivalent measures.

Of course if we need your further specific and express consent to do this, we will obtain it before transferring any personal information.

In all cases, any use of your personal information by the ITL Network which has been instigated by us (as opposed, for example, to a promotional partner), will comply with this privacy policy.

Occasionally, with your permission and depending on the purpose for and context in which you gave that permission, we will send to you by one or more of mail, telephone, fax, automated telephone call, e-mail, SMS text message or other electronic means marketing information and news, for example, relating to new product and/or service offerings, special offers, competitions and other promotions and offers. This may include our sending to you marketing information for the products and/or services of a promotional selected third party organisation on that selected third party organisation's behalf.

However, in every case, if you do not elect to receive such communications (by either ticking the relevant boxes (eg: during registration on the website) to authorise us to make such contact or you provide such authorisation in writing to us or electronically via the website, if applicable) or if you elect to discontinue receiving them, then we will not send or will cease sending them to you. Please note that whilst we will not send you communications that you do not want, we cannot guarantee that third parties to whom your personal information are sent will not do so. Also, you acknowledge that we reserve the right to use or disclose any personal information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect and defend the integrity of the website (including to enforce the Terms of Use) and you, to fulfil your requests and/or to cooperate in any law enforcement or regulatory investigation.

Further, we may seek data required to be kept by law needed for legal proceedings or to establish, exercise or defend legal rights (including protection against fraud) necessary to fulfil a contract between you and us (or between you and a third party organisation we represent)

or

needed to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person (for instance, if medical data are urgently required after an accident and you cannot give your consent).

Save for this, we do not transfer or disclose personal information we have collected from you in connection with our website activities, to third parties outside the ITL Network.

Please note that if we are, in turn, a promotional selected third party organisation of an unrelated third party organisation (for example where we are not asking you to submit any personal information to us but are simply providing personal information on our website) and a link exists to that other third party organisation's web site where one must visit to take part in that third party organisation's promotion, offer or other activity, then the privacy policy of that other third party organisation will apply instead of ours.

Whilst we make every effort only to tie-in with reputable third party organisations which have a similar high regard for your privacy, you should make sure you are aware of what their privacy policies say, as we are not responsible for the policies and practices of other companies, including those of other members of the ITL Network.

If, in the future, a third party acquires ITL or substantially all of its assets (whether by merger, acquisition, reorganisation or otherwise) customer information, including personal information, may well be one of the transferred assets.
