MODELS POLICY

What do we do

As soon as your child is registered with the Agency and after mutual signing of the present Agreement including Appendix 1, we start looking for the best modeling opportunities for the Model. We constantly work on placing the right models to the most suitable brands we work with.

Therefore, we are agreeing with the Model in advance to ensure that we have common understanding about the successful cooperation.

Exclusive representation:

Model agrees to be exclusively represented by Hip4Kidz. It Is not allowed to (be) register(ed) with other agencies without written permission from Hip4Kidz.

Availability / Options:

Before the Model is proposed to the Client we will check your availability via the telephone, e-mail, or through our booking system.

Once you have confirmed Model availability, we will proceed with the official booking and will represent Model as an option via Hip4Kidz.

PLEASE NOTE: It is not allowed to accept or confirm Model’s availability for the same assignment via another party, i.e other agency, direct contact, social media calls etc.

In case if the Model is approached directly by the Client (brand, producer etc.), you are obliged to provide the other party with the present Agreement details, so Hip4Kidz can proceed with the assignment on the Model’s behalf.

The Model chosen for an Option is obligated to keep the availability for the assignment’s dates.
The Client starts preparing a production, arranging the stylists, casting staff, photographers (in short, the entire team).

Therefore, once you have confirmed the Model’s availability and the Client books your child, we expect you to be available.

If there is a compelling circumstance that requires you to cancel the option, this must be stated in a timely manner and by email with a valid reason.

If there are any other casting calls to which you want to respond, you can report this to Hip4Kidz.
We will then propose your child or authorize you to contact the brand directly.

  • If you are on location with your child, we apply a number of rules/ conditions.
