11.2 The standard Usage Categories include, but are not limited to the following, normally quoted per 12 months:
1. Social Media/Website/Ecommerce (‘This usage is normally included in the day rate, for up to 12 months, Australia wide.

USAGE DURATIONS: The Client must supply the start date for usage in writing to info@devojka.com.au prior to the date of usage, and subsequent to the invoice being paid in full by the due date, including any overtime. NO MEDIA must be used prior to the full payment of all outstanding invoices owing to Devojka Models by the due date/s listed.

Please note we do not quote for ‘all media and/or in perpetuity’, however we are happy to consider any reasonable offers which include specified uses for types of media usage, duration and location/s. Generally, we do not quote or accept durations over 5 years, due to indexation and other factors including but not limited to exclusivity, longevity and non-competes. Please keep in mind that for the duration of usage for a particular role, the Talent featured are unlikely to be booked by any other competitor during this time, which is why we must compensate for this loss of work during the usage period. We will always act in a fair manner in balancing what is fair for both our clients and talent. We believe in ethical standards for the industry and fair compensation across the board for all.
11.4 We recommend that all paperwork (deal memos, call sheets, releases, etc.) are completed at the time of booking and at least 7 working days ahead of the booked role/s. As an Agency we need to proof these documents to ensure they match the approved quote and/or agreed upon conditions of the role, including but not limited to call time/s, location/s, role descriptions, preparation, usage, etc. If such paperwork is sent to us within this period we will do our best (within standard office hours) to complete the paperwork and send relevant documents to our Talent, and back to our Client, ahead of the date of service. However if we are not given enough time to process these, the documents may not be signed until after the Date/s of Service.
11.5 It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the paperwork (contracts, deal memos etc) match the initial agreement. If there are terms that are contradictory to this, Devojka Models will make the Client aware and the Client will need to amend the terms and send it back to the agency for review.
If it is the case that the Client wishes to change any agreed-upon details (including but not limited to usage, extended call times etc), then Devojka Models will send a Quote for the additional changes, depending on what they are.
If the Client or their assigns send any paperwork (contracts, deal memos etc) that include terms that are contradictory to the initial agreement, and if the client then refuses to amend them (or does not seek a quote for the additional terms such as extended usage and/or extended call times), then our Agency/Talent will not be able to sign the paperwork. If the client wishes to cancel the booked role/s as a result of this, then the relevant Cancellation Fees will be charged to the Client (as per Point 46 of these Terms & Conditions).

Scrips must be sent to the Agency at least 7 working days ahead of the role (potentially earlier) depending on the number of lines to be memorised.
12. It is advised that the Client provides full details of the booking at the time of enquiry, including but not limited to: date/s, start time and finish time, location, theme, requirements of the job and full details of what is involved, the purpose of the shoot, image/video usage, what will be worn and anything else we need to know prior to the booking.
