Terms & Conditions for CastingModel.site
Welcome to CastingModel.site. By accessing or using this Website, you agree to comply with the following Terms and Conditions.
1. Client Responsibilities
Clients are requested to read these Terms and Conditions carefully before engaging with the Website or contacting the agency for a quotation. Clients must not make any bookings directly or request contact details (phone numbers, addresses, emails) of the models during or after the event.
2. Confidentiality
Clients and their associates must not directly contact or request personal details of the models during or after the campaign without prior consent from CastingModel.site.
3. Fees and Payment
All model bookings are based on an 8 to 10-hour day unless otherwise stated, including a 1-hour lunch break. If the client requires the model to work beyond the designated hours, the overtime rates must be clarified with management. Payment must be made directly to CastingModel.site and not to any individual employee. All invoices must be settled within 45 days from the invoice date. A 5% interest per month will be added to overdue invoices. New clients are required to pay the initial invoice before the booking begins.
4. Usage Rights for Models
The permitted use for photographs is for editorial or press advertising unless otherwise agreed in writing. Usage for posters, packaging, display materials, and commercials will incur additional fees, and the client must negotiate these fees in advance. All fees for usage are valid for India only for a period of 1 year from the date of booking, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5. Territory
All fees are quoted for India only, unless otherwise agreed.
6. Job Updates
Job requirements will be posted on the Casting section of the Website.
7. TV and Video Bookings
For TV bookings, rates will be based on Indian law. For video bookings, a daily rate applies, with additional fees for usage.
8. Location and Travel Bookings
The client must provide details regarding transport and/or overnight stays at the time of booking. If overnight stays are required, an additional fee may be charged.
9. Provisional and Weather-Dependent Bookings
Provisional bookings will be automatically canceled if not confirmed within 24 hours. Weather-permitting bookings may incur a half fee for the first cancellation, and full fees for the second cancellation.
10. Cancellations
If a booking is canceled within one working day of the start time, the full fee is charged unless the model is re-booked within 24 hours. If canceled outside one working day but within two working days, half the fee is charged. Cancellations due to illness or other reasons beyond the model’s or agency’s control will not incur charges, provided evidence is provided.
11. Fittings and Travel
Fittings are charged at the full hourly rate for the first hour and half the hourly rate thereafter. Travel time is charged at 50% of the hourly rate, plus travel expenses.
12. Meals and Fashion Shows
Clients are responsible for providing meals for the models. For fashion shows, the fee includes the right to use the model’s services for the show, but any other usage requires separate negotiation.
13. Agency Fees
An agency supplement is chargeable on all model and usage fees, except for commercials to be shown within India.
14. Restrictions on Models
A special fee is negotiated if the work involves competing products. The client is responsible for ensuring no conflict of interest exists.
15. Test and Experimental Work
Models will not sign a release form for test or experimental shoots unless specific usage and fees have been agreed in advance.
16. Complaints
Any complaints should be reported to the agency during the course of the booking. Complaints will not be considered after the fact.
17. Brand Usage
The brand logos used for casting purposes may be used for promotional purposes but must not harm or damage the brand’s reputation.

Photos from PR shoots can only be used for press purposes. Any other commercial use will incur additional fees.
