Terms & Conditions

At Ghenemo Models, our talents’ wellbeing is of the utmost importance. It is for this reason that we want to ensure that each and every one of our clients treats our talent with the appropriate respect, care, attention and kindness that they deserve.

The following terms and conditions apply for clients of Ghenemo Models (the “Client”), who contract talent from Ghenemo Models (“the Model”). The terms mentioned below apply from the time of the booking of the model (“the Contract Booking”) and for all Client content that includes the Model (the “Client Content”).

General Client Obligations

All bookings of the Model must be agreed upon in advance between Ghenemo Models and the Client. Under no circumstances may agreements, written or oral, or any other consents be entered into between the Client and the Model without the involvement and consent of Ghenemo Models.

The Client shall at all times ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of the Model during the Contract Booking. Furthermore, the Client shall comply with applicable health and safety laws, standards and good practice.

The Client shall provide the Model with appropriate and sufficient changing room or dressing area facilities, allowing the Model privacy.

The Client shall make provision for and allow the Model to take regular breaks.

The Client shall provide food, water and snacks, in accordance with the Model’s dietary requirements.

The Client shall not photograph or film the Model nude, semi-nude or in see-through clothing without prior written approval from Ghenemo Models. This also applies for swimwear and lingerie.

Client Content that requires nude, semi-nude, see-through clothing, swimwear or lingerie must be discussed in advance and may be subject to an additional fee.

The Client Content shall in no way depict the Model in an unflattering or embarrassing way. Any behind-the-scenes (BTS) content, shall only take place when the Model is hair and make-up ready or otherwise appropriately prepared.

Any Client intention to photograph or film in extreme weather or any other adverse conditions, must be communicated at the time of booking of the Model to allow for appropriate preparation.

As part of the Contract Booking, Ghenemo Models will need to transfer the Model’s personal data to the Client. The Client acknowledges and agrees that they will be the processor of such data once it has been received. Moreover, the Client guarantees that it will process the data in accordance with GDPR legislation.

Ghenemo Models will, following legal obligation under these terms, process data about the Client in order to fulfil its obligations towards the Client.

The Client undertakes to procure and maintain sufficient insurance to cover any and all liabilities that the Client could incur in relation to Ghenemo Models and the Model.

Working Hours and Payment

The working day begins once the Model has arrived on set and includes hair, make-up and any other preparations or waiting times (excluding a one hour lunch break). The Model shall be paid the full agreed fee even in the event that the Client finishes early.

The Model fee is charged either by the day or by the hour, depending on the agreement made between the Client and Ghenemo Models. Full- and half days are defined as follows:

Overtime is charged at 1.5 times the hourly rate. Saturdays are charged at 1.5 times the hourly rate. Sundays and Bank Holidays are charged at double the hourly rate.

Weather and down days will be charged at 50 percent of the day rate per weather or down day. Any such weather or down day must, wherever possible, be discussed beforehand.

A travel day in excess of 5 hours, will be charged at 50 percent of the agreed day rate.

Unless otherwise agreed, the Client shall pay for all expenses including, but not limited to, travel ticket (train, plane etc.), accommodation and a driver or other suitable transfer to the location of the production.

Neither Ghenemo Models nor the Model is liable for delayed or cancelled flights.

All fees are subject to a twenty percent agency fee. VAT and agreed expenses will be added where applicable.

Invoices are to be paid in full within 30 days of the date stated on the invoice. Delayed payment is subject to interest. A 50 euro administration fee shall be charged on all late payments. In the unlikely event that an invoice is handed to a collections agency or a payment enforcement authority, all associated fees will be charged separately.

If requested by the Client, Ghenemo Models can invoice a third party, however the Client remains ultimately responsible for the payment of the invoice.

For a new Client, an advance payment may be required. In such an event, a proof of money transfer must be emailed no later than 12:00 CET the day before the first working day of the Contract Booking. If the Model needs to travel, this proof must be sent no later than 12:00 CET the day before the Model departs. If proof of payment cannot be produced, Ghenemo Models reserves the right to cancel the booking.

Client Rights

The material produced as a result of the Contract Booking with the Model may only be used as agreed upon with Ghenemo Models. The material, including the likeness (face, name, voice etc.) of the Model, must not be used in any other context other than for the use agreed upon at the time of booking.

Any additional usage must be negotiated with and accepted by Ghenemo Models prior to any such use.

Unless otherwise agreed, the Model shall be booked on a non-exclusive basis rendering the Model free to provide similar and/or competing services to any third party and/or competing product or brand of the Client.

An additional exclusivity fee must be agreed when the use of the Model’s likeness, in relation to a service or product, is required on an exclusive or semi-exclusive basis (where a semi-exclusive basis would be exclusivity within a particular sector) which precludes supplying services or allowing use of the Model’s likeness for competing and/or particular sector of products within a defined territory.

The Model is free to supply services and allow the use of their likeness by any competitor unless an exclusivity fee is negotiated and paid by the Client. It is the Client’s responsibility to perform any research or checks required to determine whether the Model has undertaken any conflicting work prior to entering into an exclusivity agreement.

Additionally agreed usage never includes any rights to exclusivity, but exclusivity can be negotiated.

Ghenemo Models and the Models' rights

The Client agrees and confirms that Ghenemo Models and the Model may use the Client Content produced with the Model for the purposes of promoting the Model and Ghenemo Models. Promotion includes, but is not limited to, Ghenemo Models’ website, the Model’s portfolio, set cards and social media/internet pages.

Cancellation

Cancellations can be made with 48 hours’ prior notice to the first working day without incurring any charges. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours but more than 24 hours’ prior notice to the first working day, will be charged at fifty percent of the day fee. Cancellation with less than 24 hours’ prior notice to the first day of working will be charged at the rate for a full day.

For bookings of three days or more, including any travel days, cancellations must be made at least 72 hours prior to the Model’s departure. Cancellations made with less than 72 hours but more than 48 hours’ notice prior to departure will be charged at fifty percent of the day rate. Cancellation within 48 hours of the Models’ departure will be charged at the rate for a full day.
