7.3.        The model is entitled to regular breaks and if the daily working time exceeds 4.5 hours, the model must have a break of least 30 minutes. The break must be appropriately located and, if possible, coherent. The break is included in the calculated working hours and is thus also invoiced.

7.4.        It is the Client’s obligation that the production complies with all applicable regulations, hereinunder the working environmental law, according to which e.g., special consideration must be given to children and their vulnerable position in the workplace.

13.1.      If a model does not live up to the client’s expectations, the client must immediately object over this to LMK. If the model commences the commissioned work, the model must therefore be remunerated proportionately. However, should the images be used in a commercial context, full payment for any rights must be made.

In these instances, LMK cannot be held responsible for the individual child’s refusal.

In the event that the client does not notify LMK, full payment must be made.

13.3.      Since the work consists of services delivered by children, LMK recommends that the Client book a backup model. The backup model can be on standby at home one hour in the morning and can be called in, in case the main model becomes ill, or refuses to perform the job. Alternatively, the backup model can be ready on the set, depending on the agreement. In case the backup model is not used, no fees are paid for any rights but only for the hourly wage. This hourly wage is agreed individually with LMK.

LMK retains the right to, within a reasonable timeframe, that does not postpone the Session in a substantial manner, to find a substitute to the model.
