Taxation & Superannuation:

Broadcast Management is hired by the Talent/Actor as their representative and therefore has no responsibilities in withholding taxes and paying superannuation. The Australian Taxation Office regards the "End User" (The Client) as Talent/Actor employer. Unless previously agreed with Broadcast Management, the Client is responsible for all taxation obligations and Super contributions associated with each specific job, in accordance with the Australian Taxation Office's "Pay As You Go" (PAYG) Withholding Guidelines for Performing Artists Agents, Advertising Agencies and Advertisers, and with the current Superannuation Legislation. The complete guidelines can be viewed/printed from the Australian Taxation Office website.

Public Liability:

The Client is responsible for all Public Liability Insurance to cover the Talent/Actor at any/all locations (including travel from and to location).

Rates:

Broadcast Management will quote the Talent/Actor rates on a per hour, half day or full day booking. Unless previously negotiated with The Client, a minimum booking of two hours applies. The rates apply to shoot time only and do not include usage.

Usage:

Special types of usage such as Posters (POS), Billboards, Bus Shelters, Brochures, Magazine Inserts, Packaging, Internet, etc all require payment of additional fees. These fees are quoted according to the product and usage length. All final images are to be used for the purpose for which it was originally negotiated between The Client and Broadcast Management. The Client has total responsibility to notify Broadcast Management of any intended usage before the commencement of the shoot. Any further extension of usage or territory must be immediately notified to and negotiated with Broadcast Management. Any image used without written authorisation or prior approval from Broadcast Management will be subject to legal proceedings.

Copyright:

Ownership of all images of the Talent remains with Talent at all times and any unauthorised use or replication of their image will be an infringement of Australian Copyright Laws. At no time does ownership of any image of the Talent revert to either the Photographer or the Client and said images can only be used where Usage fees have been agreed and paid to the Talent via Broadcast Management. The photographer is not entitled to use any of the images he/she takes for any use beyond that agreed in the Booking Confirmation accepted by the Client under section "Usage". The photographer to this extent agrees to restrict use of his/her copyright, and if the Client is not a photographer, the client is to draw these terms and conditions to the attention of the photographer and to obtain their agreement prior to the commencement of the shoot. Photographers may not use Test Photography for any commercial purpose unless specific arrangements have been made with Broadcast Management in writing. Photo approval for portfolio use by photographer must be attained from Broadcast Management.

Special Rates & Usage:

Some specific products are likely to attract higher fees, e.g. cigarettes, alcohol, sleepwear, underwear etc. Please check the fees before booking the Talent/Actor.

Booking Hours:

The total hours that Talent/Actor is booked are the minimum hours that Talent/Actor must be paid for. The Talent/Actor must be paid for the original hours booked regardless of whether the job was completed early. If the job takes longer than the original booking, then overtime/penalty rates will apply. Where a shoot may finish up to 19 minutes past the hour, no extra hour will be billed. At 20 minutes and over, an extra full hour will be added to the billing at the appropriate rate and for any subsequent hours. If the total hours for a booking are reduced by The Client with less than Two Working Days Notice, cancellation fees will apply.

The Working Day, Overtime and Penalty Rates:

Our normal working hours are from 8am to 6pm. A time and a half Talent/Actor's model rate will apply for shooting times that happen before and after these hours. Double time applies for shooting between 11pm and 6am. Saturday fees are at time and a half, and Sundays and public holidays at double time.

Cancellations:

A cancellation fee of 100% of the Talent/Actor rate applies if the job is cancelled within 24 hours prior to the commencement of the job.

Weather Holds:

If the job is cancelled due to bad weather the following applies: First Cancellation - No fee. Second Cancelation - 50% of the total Talent/Actor fee for the booking. Third Cancellation - 100% of the total Talent/Actor fee for the booking. A 100% Cancellation Fee applies if the same model is not re-booked.

Castings and Re-Calls:

First casting/audition for all jobs occur with no fee. If a Talent/Actor is "re-called" for second or subsequent auditions, half of the Talent/Actor's hourly rate will apply.

Any time extensions and territories must be negotiated at the time of the booking. It is the responsibility of The Client to notify and negotiate with Broadcast Management any further usages, territories and rollovers.

Exclusivity:

The Talent/Actor's services are supplied in a non-exclusive basis unless otherwise negotiated by Client at the time of the booking. It is The Client's responsibility to check, at the time of booking, whether any conflicting work has been previously done by the Talent/Actor.

Agency Service Fee:

Broadcast Management reserves the right to charge a 10% agency service fee from all Clients to cover all administrative expenses. This fee is charged on all jobs including usages and rollovers. A Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be charged at the Government set rate (currently 10%) on the Agency Service Fee.

Payment Terms:

Broadcast Management requires payment from The Client within 7 days from the date of the invoice. The Client is responsible for the payment within this time limit unless otherwise agreed to and confirmation given prior to the commencement of the booking. Broadcast Management reserves the right to turn a Client's unpaid account to a collection's agent. The Client is responsible for any costs involved in recovering outstanding monies, including debt collection fees or solicitor's costs.

Complaints:

Any cause of complaint should be reported to Broadcast Management during the course of the booking or immediately thereafter. No claims or alterations in the negotiated fee will be accepted after an invoice is issued.
