All
clients (ie: production &
casting personnel) should read
this carefully before booking an
artist.
Once
an artist is introduced to a client
by way of submission and/or
casting/shoot, Young Artists
Management are to act as agent to
that artist regardless of any
subsequent requirements for the
artist to fulfill the said
assignment. Likewise, any repeat
jobs and correspondence regarding
that artist is to be with Young
Artists Management solely. It is
understood that booking an artist
from Young Artists Management is in
acceptance of this understanding
until otherwise agreed between
client and Young Artists Management
as agent.
PAYMENT
TERMS
All
invoiced payments are required
within 30 days of the date of
invoice. In all cases the person
booking the artist will be invoiced
and solely responsible for payment,
unless otherwise agreed at the time
of the booking. All
fees are to be negotiated only
with Young Artists Management
and payable only to Young
Artists Management.
We reserve the right
to invoice the ‘ultimate client’
(i.e. designer/manufacturer/owner of
the product in question).
EXCLUSION
FEES
A
special fee will be negotiated when
the work is in conjunction with a
product, which precludes work for
competing products. It is the
client’s responsibility to check
whether conflicting work has been
done. If an artist advertises a
product, he/she is able to work for
any competitor unless an exclusion
fee is negotiated.
PROVISIONAL
BOOKINGS
Provisional
bookings will be automatically
cancelled if they are not confirmed
within 24 hours of the proposed
booking, or if a definite booking is
offered and the provisional cannot
be confirmed.
CANCELLATIONS
If
a booking is cancelled within 24
hours of the starting time, the full
fee will be charged unless the same
artist is re-booked within 24 hours,
in which case half the fee is
charged. Saturdays, Sundays and Bank
Holidays are excluded from these
calculations. However, if a booking
is cancelled due to illness or some
other reason beyond the artists or
agencies control (and upon the
production of the appropriate
evidence) the artist shall not be
liable for cancellation charges.
This is a reciprocal arrangement
between artists and client.
WEATHER
PERMITTING BOOKINGS
At
the first cancellation, a half-fee
is charged unless the client fails
to cancel in time to prevent the
artist's attendance, when the full
fee is payable. At the second
cancellation, the full fee is
charged.
MEALS
Clients
are responsible for artists meals,
unless client requests child/parent
to bring along a packed lunch or
otherwise beforehand, at the time of
booking.
TEST
& EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY
A
Photographer is not entitled to use
test and experimental photographs
for commercial purposes unless
specific arrangements have been made
before the photographic session.
INSURANCE
The
client is responsible for the
artist’s health and safety when the
artist is travelling, or providing
services, in connection with the
booking to the same extent as if the
artist were an employee of the
client. The client will maintain
adequate insurance cover to
underwrite its obligations to the
artist. The agent is not responsible
if the artist fails to attend the
booking. The client is advised to
insure against any losses, which
might result if the artist does not
keep a booking because of ill
health, or some other reason.
JURISDICTION
These
terms and conditions for booking and
all other matters connected with the
booking are governed by Irish law
and any dispute will be settled in
accordance with that law by a court
in Ireland.
COMPLAINTS
Any
cause for complaint should be
reported to the Agency when it
arises. Complaints cannot be
considered in retrospect.

is the clients responsibility to
arrange insurance if indemnity is
required against an artists
inability to attend through sickness

over any Terms and Conditions, which
may be received from the client even
if those Terms and Conditions have a
clause similar to this.
All

and payable only to Young
Artists Management.
It
is not permitted for a client to
have direct contact with an

arrangement by the agency and in
writing. Any arrangements made with,
or contractual obligations agreed
to, by the artist, with the client
and without the written agreement
and/or knowledge of the agency will
not stand and Young Artists
Management accepts no culpability
for such agreements.
