FASHION CAST AGENCY

Comprehensive Model Registration & Collaboration Agreement (Non Exclusive)

This information explains how our collaboration works, from registration and promotion to content creation and publication. It also sets out our policies on AI training, content permanence and your rights.

1. Purpose and Overview

FCA exists to build your professional presence and connect you with fashion brands, designers and creative partners. We invest in high quality photography and AI assisted visuals to showcase your unique look. Our relationship is non exclusive; you are free to work with other agencies and take on outside projects. We follow industry best practices; international modeling guides emphasize the importance of clear contract terms, understanding image usage rights and the freedom provided by non exclusive agreements.

2. How Our Process Works

2.1 Registration and Promotion

Once you register with FCA, we build a portfolio that may include professional photos, AI generated composites and short videos. This initial work is done at our expense; it is designed to present you to potential clients. You will not be asked to pay upfront fees. Leading model contract guides advise against large upfront charges. Our relationship is transparent; you are not locked into exclusivity; you remain free to explore other opportunities.

2.2 Brand Engagement

When a brand expresses interest in collaborating with you, we contact you directly and share the project details, including budget, timeline and creative concept. You decide whether to pursue the opportunity. If you agree, we move forward with concept development. We adhere to standard contract practices, such as defining the scope of work and the duration of the collaboration.

2.3 Concept Development

Together with the brand, we produce draft visuals—AI generated try ons, mood boards or sketches—that show how you will look, the clothing and the storytelling. We use this stage to refine the creative direction. You and the brand review these concepts and provide feedback. Only when both parties approve do we proceed to final production. This ensures everyone is aligned and confident.

2.4 Final Production

After concept approval, we produce the final images or videos. Once completed, you and the brand review and confirm that the content meets expectations. At this point, the visuals are ready for publication. We handle posting on our channels—such as our Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and website—and we coordinate with the brand on their distribution plans. This process reflects industry norms that emphasize transparency in usage rights.

3. Payment and Commission

Creating your portfolio and test materials is not a paid job; these are investments we make in your career.

4. Booking Rules and Job Types

We aim to match you with jobs that align with your brand, comfort level and professional goals. We will not automatically book you for any job without consulting you. Standard model contract advice warns against signing agreements that require you to accept every booking. You have the right to decline jobs that don’t suit you.

5. Image Usage Rights and Ownership

Your likeness is your most valuable asset. When you approve a specific image or video for a campaign, you grant the brand and FCA the right to use that content in their marketing. We ensure that your contract clearly specifies where and how your photos may appear and for how long. After you approve a collaboration, ownership of those specific visuals passes to the brand—meaning they can use the approved content as agreed, and you cannot revoke their rights. However, this does not affect your ownership of your general image. We follow best practices that recommend defining mediums, geographic reach and duration.

6. Contract Duration and Termination

This agreement begins when you sign it and lasts for twelve months. Either party can end the agreement with thirty days’ written notice. If you choose to leave, we won’t penalize you; in fact, international modeling guides highlight the importance of reasonable exit options. If our relationship ends, any content that has already been approved and published remains in place under the agreed usage rights.

7. Content Permanence and AI Training

Once you approve content and it is published on FCA’s channels or the brand’s platforms, it will remain online. We may use these visuals to train and improve our AI systems, enabling us to create more compelling content. Creating and sharing this content takes time and resources. For this reason, we do not remove or edit posts after publication unless we choose to do so ourselves. Any attempt to report or remove approved content from platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or our website will be considered a breach of this agreement. You acknowledge that once you give approval, you cannot demand takedowns or edits.

8. Penalty for Unapproved Removal

If you initiate or encourage reporting, blocking or removal of approved content on any platform, you agree to compensate FCA and the brand. The penalty will depend on the scope of the campaign, the brand’s involvement, the production costs and the distribution reach. This clause protects the agency’s and brand’s investment in the project.

9. Confidentiality and Conduct

You agree to keep confidential any unreleased projects, brand discussions or sensitive information. We agree to protect your personal data and use it only for legitimate business purposes or as required by law. A robust confidentiality clause is recommended to protect both parties.

10. Governing Law

This agreement is governed by the laws of [insert relevant jurisdiction]. If any disputes arise, we will first attempt to resolve them through good faith discussions. If we cannot resolve the matter informally, the dispute will be settled by arbitration or in a court of competent jurisdiction.

11. Acknowledgement

By signing below, you confirm that you have read and understood this agreement, including the non exclusive nature of our representation, the process of concept development, the permanence of approved content and the penalties associated with unapproved removal. You affirm that you are legally free to enter into this agreement and that you understand your rights and obligations.
