Atomic79 Talent Agency Terms & Conditions & Sole Agency Agreement.

The Atomic79 client being 'the Principal' and Atomic79 UK 'the sole Agent' hereby agree to the following: 

The Principal agrees that the Agent will attempt to negotiate on their behalf to secure contractual arrangements for their services. When an arrangement has been negotiated and accepted by both parties, a contract, whether verbal or written then exists. The Principal understands that they must be absolutely sure they are available to carry out the work and fully understand the requirements before accepting any booking. Once the Principal has accepted the booking they are committed and liable to carry out that assignment. Atomic79 has the right to recover fees from Principals if they do not fulfil their assignments.

The Agent will be entitled to a commission for negotiating such a contract. Commission will be due for all engagements not honoured by the Principal, except by reason of Force Majeure. In the case of illness the Principal will be expected to provide a Medical Certificate within seven days.

In consideration of the Agent's services the Principal agrees to pay the Agent a commission of 20% on all TV/Film/Commercial earnings, 12.5% on all theatre/other mediums earnings,  plus VAT. in addition to the commission on engagements secured as follows: Earnings include, in addition to fees and salaries for work done, residual fees, royalties, licence fees in respect of work to which this Agreement applies even if the sums in question are paid (with the Principal's agreement or by the Principal's direction) to some other person or body, but not including reimbursement of expenses of the Principal.

It is the Principal's responsibility to notify the Agent of any change of address and / or telephone numbers in writing at least 7 days before the actual move date.

The Agent will make payment to the Principal by means of a BACS payment direct to an account nominated by the Principal within 10 working days of receipt of any monies due to the Principal, or as the Principal may direct in writing, without any deduction other than the commission due to the Agent and VAT payable of that commission. Royalties, residuals and other small amounts will only be paid out when they accrue to more than £15. In the event that any payment made by the Agent to the Principal is returned, either due to a change of address or bank account (if electronic payment has been made) which has not been notified to the Agent, the Agent will attempt to contact the Principal to confirm the new details. If, despite the Agents best endeavors, the new details cannot be confirmed, the Agent will retain the monies on the Principals behalf for a period of 3 years from the date of the first attempted payment, after which time the funds will be retained by the Agent.

Should a Principal be contacted either directly or through another Agency for an engagement with a Management with whom the Agent procured the Principal an engagement or audition within the previous twelve months, the Principal agrees not to negotiate with that said Management or Agency(ies) and furthermore will immediately refer such enquiries to the Agent.

The Principal understands that it is not the responsibility of the Agent to recover overdue unpaid monies from Third Parties. Any costs the Agent incurs over and above the normal cost of collecting monies from Third Parties may be chargeable to the Principal. Any other costs the Agent incurs in the collection of monies from Third Parties shall be only with the Principal's prior agreement.

Once accepted for sole representation should the Principal wish to leave the Agency they will notify the Agent in writing, giving at least 3 months notice. The Principal understands that should they decide to leave the Agency if they require the return of any personal documentation they will send a S.A.E to the Agency or they will be disposed of by the Agent. Any enquiries for the Principal's services that have been generated by the Agent that result in an engagement, will be undertaken through the Agent (at the commission rates clearly set out above) on earnings plus VAT, will be due to the Agent. The Agent will be entitled to commission plus VAT on all residual fees, royalties, licence fees in respect of all work carried out by the Principal to which this agreement applies.

Accepting Atomic79 as sole agent or accepting assignments from the Agent will imply the Principal's full agreement and acceptance of all these terms and conditions.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. No statement or representation by either party which is not contained in this Agreement shall be binding.
