RULES AND WORKFLOW
IMPORTANT INFORMATION – PLEASE READ BEFORE WORKING WITH EUROPEAN MUSES
To ensure a smooth, professional experience and avoid misunderstandings, we ask you to carefully read the following. We work with verified profiles and prioritize transparency, respect, and commitment in all collaborations.
1. Professionalism
All artists in our agency must meet certain requirements to join the platform. This includes levels, experience, and availability, which are clearly displayed in their profiles. Additionally, all registered users must sign our agency rules upon registration. We expect professionalism, punctuality, and clear communication before, during, and after each shoot.
2. Fulfillment of Agency Duties
The agency is considered to have fulfilled its role when:
A suitable model is presented
Availability and conditions are confirmed
Communication between the parties is facilitated
Basic documentation, scheduling, and logistics are coordinated
Once these steps are completed, the agency’s work is considered fulfilled, regardless of whether the shoot ultimately takes place.
3. Commissions
Our commission is fair and transparent:
10% for clients
10% for models
If the same model is booked again, we reduce it to 5% for each party.
The agency charges solely for its management work.
Payments to models must be handled directly between the producer and the model.
Non-refundable Commission
The agency commission is non-refundable once:
The model has confirmed availability
The date has been blocked
Coordination work has started (communication, logistics, etc.)
This applies even if the shoot is cancelled by the producer.
4. Payments
For security and commitment reasons, the agency’s commission is charged before the shoot, especially when working with a producer for the first time. Once a working relationship is established, we can adapt to each client’s workflow.
Producer → Agency
The producer must pay the shooting reservation with sufficient notice prior to the scheduled shooting date.
Producer → Model
The model must be paid on the same day as the shoot, preferably before the session starts, using the payment method agreed between the producer and the model (cash, bank transfer, etc.).
Model → Agency
The agency’s commission is a separate payment for intermediation services and is not related to the payment made by the producer to the model.
Models are required to pay the agency’s commission immediately after receiving payment from the producer, and in any case no later than 7 days after the shooting date, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
5. Cancellations
The commission will not be refunded in the following cases:
Production-related issues
Date changes by the producer
Flight, clinic, or logistical complications
Decision by the producer not to proceed
Delays or lack of organization on the producer’s end
If the producer cancels the shoot for reasons not considered force majeure, the agency does not provide financial compensation, as its duties have been fulfilled.
If a confirmed model cannot attend the shoot due to personal or medical reasons, the agency will immediately propose a suitable replacement. This substitute model must be approved in advance by the producer.
If the producer chooses not to proceed with the replacement, the agency’s commission remains non-refundable, as coordination and confirmation were already completed.
6. Transportation and expenses
For first-time collaborations with a producer, we advise that the model initially covers the cost of their transport ticket, which will be reimbursed on the day of the shoot along with their agreed fee. This helps avoid no-shows and financial losses from unused tickets.
If the producer chooses to purchase the ticket directly, they accept the responsibility for that cost in case of cancellation. The agency is not responsible for travel, accommodation, or any other expenses related to the model’s logistics.
7. Commitment and attendance
To increase accountability and build trust, especially with new models, we require them to sign a shoot attendance agreement. In this document, the model agrees to:
Attend the shoot on the agreed date
Inform the agency well in advance if they cannot attend (unless due to force majeure)
Reimburse any costs incurred by the producer due to their absence
Pay the agency’s commission and fulfill other obligations stated in the contract
- etc.
This contract is designed to protect all parties and support a serious and professional work environment.
8. Respect, Transparency & Compliance
The agency serves as a bridge between performers and producers. For this to work, all parties must act with honesty, transparency, and professionalism.
To ensure a reliable and efficient workflow, all parties are expected to comply with the agency’s terms, including payment obligations.
Failure to comply may result in the following actions:
Payment reminders and follow-ups
Temporary suspension of the profile and access to opportunities
Termination of the collaboration in case of continued non-compliance
Internal reporting and, where necessary, communication with relevant industry parties to maintain transparency and trust within the network
Any attempt to bypass the agency, including contacting models outside the platform or acting in bad faith, will result in immediate removal from the platform and loss of access to the database.
9. Force Majeure (Optional, Case-by-Case Consideration)
Legitimate force majeure includes:
Verified medical emergencies
Government restrictions
Unavoidable transportation cancellations
In such cases, the agency will attempt to reschedule, but refunds are not automatic.
10. Clarification on Model Compensation in Case of Cancellations
If a shoot is cancelled by the producer for any of the reasons outlined above, the agency does not cover compensation.
Any financial compensation to the model is the direct responsibility of the producer.
The agency does not retain model payments nor assumes cancellation costs.
