WHEREAS, Agent has agreed to offer its services in order to assist Talent with his/her career objectives.
This Agreement between Agent and Talent shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated in writing no later than sixty (60) days prior to termination. Agent shall be entitled to collect fees as set forth herein with respect to all bookings of Talent obtained during the term of this Agreement, and for all bookings after the term of this Agreement which relate to contracts entered into prior to termination but extend beyond the term of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual terms, covenants, and conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
FEES TO BE CHARGED
In consideration for the services rendered by Agent as detailed above, Talent agrees to instruct and direct all clients, customers, or employers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Clients”) to pay directly to Agent all fees for Talent’s services.
Agent shall pay to Talent all fees received from Clients, less a twenty percent (20%) commission. Any monies collected by the Agent from each Client will be paid to the Talent within five (5) business days after receipt. Talent authorizes Agent to demand, collect, and receive payments for work or bookings arranged by Agent. Agent is not responsible for paying Talent if a Client fails to pay. Agent shall make best efforts to collect fees from Clients for scheduled bookings.
POWER OF ATTORNEY AND TALENT AUTHORIZATION
Talent hereby appoints and authorizes Agent as Talent’s attorney-in-fact for all work performed and authorizes Agent to perform the following on Talent’s behalf:
Negotiate, renegotiate, and execute for Talent, in Talent’s name, any and all agreements, documents, and contracts for Talent’s services in the fields covered by this Agreement;
Sign releases and approve or permit the use of Talent’s name, photograph, likeness, voice, caricature, and the like for use in the industry;
Collect, receive, endorse Talent’s name upon, and cash any and all checks made payable to Talent, deposit them into Agent’s account, and deduct and retain any monies due Agent pursuant to this Agreement;
Audit and examine books and records of parties with whom Talent has contractual or other rights of audit or examination, and otherwise enforce and protect Talent’s rights with respect to such parties; and
Demand, sue for, collect, recover, and receive all goods, claims, money, interest, or other items that may be due or belonging to Talent from projects as set forth herein.
2. Talent agrees to refer to Agent all employers, agents, or clients who make offers to Talent directly or indirectly if such parties were introduced to Talent by Agent. Agent shall have the responsibility of negotiating all future employment opportunities with such third parties. This does NOT prevent Talent from soliciting clients or employers independently, and only applies to third parties introduced by Agent. Talent shall not provide his/her phone number or address, except as approved by Agent, nor contact any potential employer except when instructed by Agent.
Talent agrees that Agent is authorized to use Talent’s name, portrait, picture, likeness, voice, or caricature to advertise and publicize Talent in connection with his/her representation or in connection with marketing or advertising the Agency. Talent agrees that such authorization shall be given without additional compensation during and after the term of this Agreement.
Talent understands that Agent will work with Talent to select all materials needed to represent Talent (i.e., composites, résumés, headshots, etc.). Talent agrees to distribute such materials to potential clients on behalf of Agent. Talent also agrees that Agent’s logo will appear on all materials used to represent and promote Talent.
Publicity costs such as Talent portfolios, composites, and photographic prints shall be the responsibility of Talent. To the extent that Agent elects to pay any such costs, Agent has the right to demand reimbursement from Talent (who will immediately reimburse) or deduct such amounts from any monies otherwise payable to Talent hereunder. A record will be kept of all expenses incurred and shall be available to Talent upon request. Agent will not incur any publicity costs without Talent’s written permission.
3. Talent is not required to purchase photoshoots through the Agency. Talent may book photoshoots for the purpose of expanding their portfolio with third-party photographers not associated with Hannah Noelle Models.
Talent agrees that the following conditions must be satisfied before payment will be made for any booking or performance:
Talent will return properly completed vouchers to Agent within seventy-two (72) hours of a completed booking or performance;
Talent will pay all reasonably incurred fees or expenses if late or failing to appear for a scheduled booking or performance;
Talent will arrive at least fifteen (15) minutes before a scheduled booking or performance; and
Talent will appear properly groomed and with required accessories at all scheduled bookings or performances.

Talent recognizes that Talent will be performing services as an independent contractor and not as Agent’s employee. Talent specifically acknowledges that Talent is not Agent’s employee and therefore is not entitled to insurance, unemployment insurance, liability insurance, or any other insurance, nor social security withholdings. Talent recognizes that he/she is responsible for payment of all applicable taxes on all compensation received from Agent or other sources for his/her services.
Talent agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and its corporate officers, directors, and employees harmless from any and all claims, losses, demands, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, which may arise out of or in connection with any engagement or employment contracts obtained in accordance with this Agreement, or resulting from Talent’s default under any such engagement or contract.

Any notices, statements, or payments required under this Agreement shall be sent, unless otherwise specified, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses provided, as either the Talent or Agent may designate in writing to the other.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
