Terms & Conditions

Agent / Talent / Client Relationship

The relationship between the talent (Model) and Super Management Ltd (Agent) is documented in a written contract. In summary, the Model has engaged the Agent to be their representative and the Agency has the Model’s written authority to enter into contracts with any and all Clients on their behalf. The Agent is NOT the Model’s employer.

The Agent acts as an intermediary between the Model and the Client. The Agency is entitled to raise invoices and collect monies on behalf of the Model, as an intermediary, even though the contract exists between Client and Model.

A contract is created between Client and Model once a booking is confirmed with the Agency whether written, written and partly oral or wholly oral. By making a booking through Super Management Ltd you acknowledge that you have read these terms and conditions and that you accept these terms and conditions.
