      • Fox Casting's Contract / Terms & Conditions

        Please read this is legally binding
        This is the agreement between you and Fox Casting and either party may refer to it later. Once Fox Casting leads you in to paid employment there will be commission payable, the rates are: £5 if gross earnings offered are under £29 per day. £10 if gross earnings offered are £30 to £59 per day. £15 if gross earnings offered are £60 to £79 per day. £20 if gross earnings offered are £80 to £100 per day. 20% if gross earnings offered are above £101 per day.
        • By joining Fox Casting you accept that commission is payable and will be deducted at source or paid by yourself if you are paid direct. You will usually be expected to make your own way to and from casting sessions and the location at your own cost, unless otherwise agreed. After activation, as a gesture of goodwill we may add photo(s) to our Social Media pages, such as Facebook, where a gallery talent is held Clients may view potential talent here. This links to our ‘Latest News’ on our website, www.fox-casting.com/latest-news/
        • Please send up to date photos of yourself at regular intervals throughout the year, if you change hair colour or a have a dramatic new style, for children please send new images regularly as they grow quickly. If you turn up at a production looking completely different from the supplied photograph they can turn you away without pay but Fox Casting commission will still be applicable.
        • Production companies may specify that children under 16 be accompanied by a parent/guardian to the location/unit base, and possibly throughout the shoot. A fee is not paid to the adult for their time, unless otherwise agreed by the production company. Professional licensed chaperones must be employed by a production company, this means that parents won’t usually be allowed on set.
        • A filming licence is required for children. A parent or guardian must be willing to produce the required documents. This is a time consuming process and gives rise to an additional £20 fee for the first day of filming for a new production. Please always state which local authority your child lives in.
        • Fox Casting is by sole agency agreement ONLY. If you gain work for yourself, or with another agent (including modelling) or via another talent website, you are still liable for our commission. If you are currently registered with an agent or any talent websites you are kindly requested to inform them that you are leaving their books before joining Fox Casting. Excellent talent only require one agent. Sole agency is a two way process of commitment, an industry honoured professional way of working. Following other agents on the internet such as social media sites will be understood to be in breach of the sole agency agreement.
        • Fox Casting will liaise with the hirer / production company to give you any details of the location and times, plus iron out any queries that you may have. Fox Casting may be required to send an invoice, payable within 28 days, on your behalf. Personal details, including address, National Insurance number (to prove you have the right to work in the UK if over 16) and your bank information may be requested for this.
        • Cast, models and support cast (etc) work is a contract between you and the hirer / production company. You may be asked to sign a release form / agreement / or contract with them. All contracts, release forms etc. must be seen by Fox Casting for our approval before you sign, to ensure your best interests are covered. If you can’t forward it to us in advance, you can send by email as soon as possible.
        • The role of Fox Casting is to find possible openings of work for you. Fox Casting cannot be held liable, in the unlikely event of the hirer / production company not paying you for your work. In such an event Fox Casting will do its best to support attempts to get any overdue pay.
        • Cast, models and support cast are responsible for declaring any Tax and National Insurance on earnings, if not already deducted. Fox Casting is NOT an employment agency.
        • The production company booking your services may be able to hold you responsible for failing to fulfil the contract; such as none / late attendance or unsuitable behaviour such as taking photos without permission. Anyone failing to represent themselves in a positive manner will be removed from Fox Casting. Remember you are representing both yourself and Fox Casting.
        • If you fail to attend you will not be paid. If you fail to perform to a decent standard the company may not pay you. In both instances Fox Casting commission will still be due. If you put yourself forward for a role and then drop out, you are liable for the commission due to Fox Casting.
        • If your availability changes or you drop out in advance after saying you are interested, commission is still due because the majority of our work is finding you roles and putting you forward to the Production Company, in a format that suits them, dealing with queries before final bookings are made, even if you don't get booked, our work has been extensive. Sometimes booking are not made until the evening before a job, even if they have your details well in advance.
        • If you cancel due to illness the Production will require a Doctor’s letter to confirm this.
        • If you are booked for more than one day, you must attend all those days to be paid. You will affect continuity if you don’t attend for further days. Do not agree to an introduction of work if you are unsure. If you fail to attend for a multiple booking you may not be paid, even if you attended part of the booking. If you only partly attend, the full relevant booking fees will be deducted out of any payment due to you.
        • If the Production Company cancels your role, even at short notice you will unfortunately not be paid as no work has taken place.
        • Please do not take photos on set without permission from the Production Manager, sneaking photos is not professional and they may dismiss you without pay.
        • If you wish to leave Fox Casting you must send written notice, (via email is adequate). Fox Casting can also send notice to let you go. If we have to let you go, for example for any contravention of the Terms and Conditions / Unprofessional behaviour, a £20 non compliance fee is applicable. 14 days must pass before you are considered for or engaged in work via other agents (or work you have found yourself), otherwise you will be liable for the commission as set out above. If you have already begun a job that you were introduced to through Fox Casting or while you are on our books then our association can only finish when that work has been completed and our commission has been paid.
        • Potential hirers may be supplied with both your photo in the first instance, and then personal information once they book you. They are requested to not hold these once you have fulfilled the work and your fee is settled.
        • There are no guarantees of work (but if you don’t join you will never know).
        • There are no guarantees of work, but if you don’t join you will never know. Call times can sometimes be very early in the morning and wrap late in the evening after a long day but it’s an experience to be enjoyed. Consider taking snacks and a book as you will sometimes be waiting around. Welcome to Fox Casting.
