Call Time and Usage will be quoted separately, therefore all details must be known at the time of booking. If the Client wishes to extend or alter any type of Usage, the Client must email info@devojka.com.auto seek a quote prior to any non-consented usage.

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. Note that clients are not required to remove the images from social media after the time has run out, but they cannot repost or run ads with those images etc. They must remove images from other forms of media after usage has expired.’ Source – The Right Fit)

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. If the usage duration is 2 years for example, then the 2 years will start from the date of usage supplied and will end exactly 2 years after. A Client must not put that usage ‘on hold’ or suspend any part of the usage. If a Client does not use the full duration of the usage consecutively, they cannot ‘add on’ any unused months/years to the usage. If additional usage time is required, the Client must email info@devojka.com.au in advance to obtain a Quote.

Please note we do not quote for ‘all media and/or in perpetuity’, however we are happy to consider any reasonable offers which include specified uses for types of media usage, duration and location/s. Generally, we do not quote or accept durations over 5 years, due to indexation and other factors including but not limited to exclusivity, longevity and non-competes.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).

11.6 Call sheets (including briefs on hair, makeup and wardrobe if applicable) must be sent to the agency at least 3 days ahead of the role. This allows adequate time for our Talent to prepare! 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.

    1. The Client must not withhold any information as The Agency must make sure it is safe and appropriate for the Actor/Talent/Models to participate, as well as to quote based on the job specifications.
    2. As an agency, Devojka Models requires full disclosure of the job description from the Client prior to casting, shortlisting and/or and confirming any model/s. If all details are not known, the Client must provide all details known at the time.
    3. The Client must give full written disclosure on the type of role, including but not limited to its classification i.e. Hero Role, Featured Extra, Extra,  Spoken, non-spoken, etc.
      If a talent is booked in for what was said to be an Extra role (for example) and it turns out that that Talent then appears on the final piece as ‘Hero’ talent, then Devojka Models will invoice the Client for the difference in cost, which the Client will be liable to pay for, and will be due within 14 days. If the outstanding amounts are not paid then the Agency will issue a ‘Cease and Desist’ for use of materials containing the featured Talent. Devojka Models may or may not pursue Legal Avenues if this takes place.
      Please note that we firmly believe in fairness, respect and transparency. We do not support exploitation of any kind, and we operate with fairness, respect and transparency to all Parties. We ask that our Clients (and Talent) do the same.
    4. If any ‘nudity’ or ‘implied nudity’ is intended, this must be flagged with the agency prior to any negotiation of rates or appropriate talent. Full details regarding the level of nudity and theme must be provided to the agency in advance by the client, and it is at the discretion of Devojka Models as to whether or not the booking can go ahead. Note that as a general rule, Devojka Models cannot book models/talent for nude role/s, but may be able to book models/talent for some levels of implied nudity.

If a client requires 30 days to pay the invoice and other supporting documentation to process the payment, this must be noted in advance, at the time of booking.

22. It is the Client’s responsibility to disclose all details regarding the job prior to seeking a Shortlist, as this may affect a) who is capable and confident in the role, and b) the fees involved.

23. CHILDREN: Any child/children who are booked via the agency will require a CHAPERONE, which will incur a chaperone fee. This fee will be quoted based on the specific details of the role including exact call times and location, however is approximately $50 per hour.
a) If a mother/father are booked at the same call time, for the same role, at the same location, and are filming at the same time for the entire duration of the call time (i.e. the children are not unsupervised at any point by the parent), a chaperone fee may be waived. This is at the discretion of the agency and the parent involved. Full details need to be disclosed by the client in advance.
b) Under no circumstances can a child be left unsupervised. This is why in the majority of cases, a chaperone must be present. Unless the client can guarantee that the parent is filming with their child the entire call time on SET, not just at LOCATION (and/or having breaks at the same time together) a separate chaperone will be organised and fees charged accordingly.

24.
