DIRECT CLIENT BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS

These Booking Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern all bookings arranged through MidAtlantic Creative DE, LLC d/b/a Mid-Atlantic Models ("Agency"). By requesting, confirming, or utilizing the services of any model, actor, influencer, or other talent represented or managed by the Agency ("Talent"), the client ("Client") agrees to be bound by these Terms.

1. BOOKINGS

All inquiries, communications, negotiations, booking requests, extensions, renewals, and future engagements involving Talent must be arranged exclusively through the Agency unless the Agency provides prior written authorization. Direct bookings or negotiations with Talent without the Agency's written consent are prohibited.

2. AGENCY SERVICE FEE

A 20% Agency Service Fee will be added to the negotiated Talent fee unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Invoices are payable in full within fourteen (14) calendar days from the invoice date. Late payments may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, together with all reasonable collection costs, including attorneys' fees.

3. BOOKING RATES

Hourly Bookings

Half Day Minimum 

The anticipated booking duration must be confirmed at the time of booking.

Talent will be compensated for the full time reserved, regardless of whether the Client uses the entire booking period.

Half-Day Bookings

Four (4) consecutive hours.

Full-Day Bookings

Eight (8) consecutive hours, exclusive of reasonable meal breaks unless otherwise agreed.

The agreed day rate applies regardless of whether the Client uses the entire booking period.

4. OVERTIME

Work performed beyond eight (8) consecutive hours shall be billed at one and one-half (1.5) times the agreed hourly rate unless otherwise specified in writing.

5. TRAVEL

For bookings outside the DMV metropolitan area, the Client shall reimburse all agreed travel expenses, including mileage at the current IRS standard mileage rate, parking, tolls, lodging, airfare, meals, or other reasonable travel costs, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

6. BOOKING HOLDS

A booking placed "on hold" grants the Client a temporary first right of refusal only.

Unless otherwise specified by the Agency, holds must be confirmed or released no later than one (1) business day before the scheduled booking. Failure to confirm may result in the hold being released in favor of a confirmed booking.

7. CANCELLATIONS

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

Cancellation within 24 hours of the scheduled booking: 100% of the booking fee.

Cancellation between 24 and 48 hours before the scheduled booking: 50% of the booking fee.

Reductions in booked hours made within one (1) business day of the booking shall be billed at the original confirmed booking amount.

If Talent has already incurred travel or other approved expenses, the Client remains responsible for reimbursing those costs regardless of when the cancellation occurs.

Postponements may be treated as cancellations unless otherwise approved by the Agency.

8. WEATHER PERMIT BOOKINGS

Weather permit bookings must be requested at the time the booking is made.

First postponement: No cancellation fee if rescheduled within seven (7) calendar days.

Second postponement: Fifty percent (50%) of the booking fee.

Third postponement or cancellation without proper notice: One hundred percent (100%) of the booking fee.

9. TEST SHOOTS

All test shoots must receive prior Agency approval.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, test shoots shall be billed at one-half of Talent's standard hourly rate, and no usage rights or model releases are granted without the Agency's prior written approval.

10. USAGE RIGHTS

Booking fees compensate Talent only for the specific usage expressly stated in the booking confirmation.

Any additional use—including extended usage, advertising, paid media, packaging, point-of-sale materials, billboards, licensing, syndication, resale, assignment, sublicensing, AI training, digital manipulation, or any use not specifically authorized—requires the Agency's prior written approval and may be subject to additional fees.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, standard usage rights are granted for one (1) year from the date of first publication.

Talent is not authorized to execute releases, licenses, assignments, or usage agreements on behalf of the Agency. Any such agreement signed without the Agency's written approval shall be void as to the Agency.

11. PRODUCT CONFLICTS & EXCLUSIVITY

Clients must disclose all products, brands, campaigns, and intended usage at the time of booking.

Talent is provided on a non-exclusive basis unless an exclusivity agreement is negotiated in writing.

If exclusivity is requested, additional compensation shall apply based upon the product category, geographic territory, duration, and media usage.

It is the Client's responsibility to determine whether any competitive conflicts exist before confirming the booking.

12. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

The Client agrees to:

Provide complete and accurate booking information.

Disclose all extraordinary requirements or working conditions.

Notify the Agency of multiple-model or group bookings.

Provide safe, clean, private changing facilities where appropriate.

Comply with all applicable laws, workplace safety regulations, and anti-harassment requirements.

Maintain a respectful and professional working environment.

The Agency reserves the right to remove Talent from any assignment reasonably believed to be unsafe, unlawful, or materially different from the conditions originally disclosed.

13. MODEL CARE & SAFETY

The health, dignity, and safety of Talent are of the highest importance.

The Client shall provide a workplace free from harassment, discrimination, intimidation, unsafe conditions, illegal activity, or abusive conduct.

Talent may immediately discontinue services without penalty if, in the Agency's reasonable judgment, working conditions become unsafe or materially inconsistent with those represented at the time of booking.

14. PAYMENT

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Client is solely responsible for payment of all Agency invoices.

Failure to pay any invoice when due constitutes a material breach of these Terms.

The Client shall reimburse the Agency for all reasonable costs incurred in collecting unpaid balances, including attorneys' fees, court costs, collection agency fees, and other related expenses.

15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Agency shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of any booking or these Terms.

The Agency's maximum aggregate liability shall not exceed the total Agency commission received for the applicable booking.

16. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of law principles.

17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with any written booking confirmation issued by the Agency, constitute the complete agreement between the Agency and the Client and supersede all prior discussions or understandings relating to the booking.

No modification shall be effective unless made in writing by the Agency.

18. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
