Document background
The Model Management Agreement is essential for formalizing the professional relationship between models and their management agencies in Belgium. This document is typically used when a model seeks professional representation or when an agency wishes to formally represent a model. It comprehensively covers aspects such as commission rates, booking procedures, exclusivity terms, and territory of representation. The agreement must comply with Belgian law, including relevant EU regulations such as GDPR and working time directives. It's particularly important in protecting both parties' interests, especially considering the international nature of the modeling industry and the need for clear terms regarding image rights, payment structures, and professional obligations. Special provisions may be included for underage models in accordance with Belgian youth protection laws.
