SLOANE TALENT LTD
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Sloane Talent Ltd (company number 17108908) whose registered office is 2 Hall Farm Barns, School Road PE31 8TE (“the Agency”).
These Terms and Conditions, together with the relevant Booking Confirmation, form the entire agreement between the Client and the Agency (“the Agreement”). The “Model” means the individual identified in the Booking Confirmation.
1. BOOKINGS & FORMATION
All bookings are subject to contract until confirmed in writing by the Agency.
Where a Client proceeds with a booking (including allowing the Model to attend or perform Services) without signing the Booking Confirmation, the Client shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms and Conditions in full.
The Agency acts as a representative of the Model and contracts as principal for the purposes of invoicing and enforcement of these terms.
2. FEES & PAYMENT
All fees are exclusive of VAT (where applicable).
Invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The Agency reserves the right to charge interest on overdue sums at 4% above the Bank of England base rate.
Where the Client is acting on behalf of a third party, both the Client and the ultimate client shall be jointly and severally liable for all fees and usage rights.
No usage is permitted until full payment has been received.
3. USAGE & RIGHTS
Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
• Usage is strictly limited to the scope defined in the Booking Confirmation
• Usage rights are granted only upon full payment
• Usage is typically limited to one medium, one territory, and a defined duration
Any additional usage, including but not limited to:
• additional platforms
• extended duration
• paid media
• third-party usage
must be approved in advance and will incur additional fees.
Unauthorised usage constitutes a material breach of the Agreement.
Third Party & Downstream Usage
The Client shall not license, assign, sell, transfer, share or otherwise make available any Media to any third party without the Agency’s prior written consent.
Where any Media is provided to or used by a third party (including but not limited to retailers, distributors, partners, affiliates or press), such use shall constitute additional usage and must be approved in advance by the Agency.
The Client shall remain fully liable for all fees arising from any third-party usage, whether authorised or unauthorised, and regardless of whether such usage was initiated by the Client or a third party.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Agency has no obligation to pursue or contract with any third party directly. All rights, permissions and fees must be agreed and settled by the Client.
4. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & DIGITAL REPLICATION
The Client shall not, without the Agency’s prior written consent:
• use any Media for the purposes of training, developing, or enhancing artificial intelligence systems
• create synthetic, altered, or AI-generated content derived from the Model’s likeness
• use the Model’s image, voice, or likeness in any form of digital replication, avatar, deepfake, or virtual model creation
Any approved AI-related usage will be subject to:
• separate negotiation
• specific usage limitations
• additional fees
This clause survives termination of the Agreement.
