Terms of Service

• "PostModels", "we" and "us" mean the administrator of the postmodels.com service, reachable at [email protected].
• "Model" means an adult who creates a model profile and applies to castings.
• "Brand account" means an account of a brand, agency or studio that publishes castings and books models. "Brand" in these terms covers all three.
• "Casting" means a post by a brand account that describes paid work and the roles it needs.
• "Booking" means an agreement between a brand and a model for a specific job, made through PostModels, together with its booking agreement and payment.
• "Plan" means a paid subscription: Model, Brand, Agency or Studio.

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract where you live.
• Models must pass ID and age verification before their profile is published or they can apply to a casting. We may ask you to verify again at any time.
• People who create a brand account must have authority to act for that business. The brand account must pass our business verification, which matches a business email domain or a website.
• You may not use PostModels if we have closed your account before, or if the law where you live does not allow it.

We may refuse, pause or close an account that does not meet these rules.

Keep your sign-in details and email codes private. You are responsible for what happens in your account. Give true, current information, including your real measurements, current photos and real business details. Do not create more than one account of the same type, share your account or sell it. If you think someone else has accessed your account, email [email protected] at once.

On team plans, the owner of the brand account controls seats and roles and is responsible for the actions of every seat. On the Studio plan, the owner can require single sign-on.

• PostModels is a paid service. There is no free plan. The only part that costs nothing is a one-time anonymous preview of a profile card or a casting, which saves nothing to an account.
• Plans are sold monthly or yearly. Yearly plans cost 50 percent less than twelve monthly payments and are charged up front for the year.
• Plans renew automatically at the end of each period at the price shown on the billing page, until you cancel. We tell you before a price change applies to your plan, and you can cancel before it takes effect.
• You can cancel at any time from the billing page. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for and then stops. Cancelling does not delete your account.
• Upgrades, including a switch from monthly to yearly, take effect when payment goes through. You are charged the price difference for the rest of the current period right away. If the payment fails, you stay on your current plan.
• Downgrades take effect at the start of your next period.
• Each plan has limits, shown on the pricing page. Limits that count actions, such as new castings, applications and messages to models who have not applied, count usage in the current billing period. Deleting a casting, withdrawing an application or deleting a message does not give usage back. Usage resets when the next period starts. Limits on things at the same time, such as active castings, shortlists and seats, apply at any moment.
• Studio's unlimited active castings are subject to fair use of 200 active castings and 300 new castings per month.
• One payer may hold one subscription per account. To change plans, use the upgrade or downgrade option rather than buying a second plan.
• Prices are in US dollars. Taxes such as sales tax or VAT may apply and are shown before you pay. Invoices are available in your panel.
• If a payment fails, we may retry it and pause paid features until it succeeds.

PostModels provides software and a marketplace that let models and brands find each other, agree on bookings and handle payment. We are not a modeling agency, talent manager, employer, staffing company or producer. We are not a party to the booking between a brand and a model. Models are independent and decide which castings to apply to and which bookings to accept. Brands decide whom to book. We do not guarantee that any model will be booked or that any casting will receive applications.

Each brand is responsible for the job it offers, the conditions on set, any permits and insurance, and any tax reporting the law requires of it. Each model is responsible for their own taxes and for checking any agency contract they have before accepting independent work.

• Every casting must describe real, paid work by a real business. Unpaid castings, "exposure" castings and castings that only offer products as payment are not allowed unless the casting also pays a fee.
• Every role must have a minimum age of 18 or higher. Castings may not target anyone under 18.
• Castings must state the type of work, location or remote delivery, date or date range, budget range and the usage rights wanted.
• Brands may not charge models any fee: no registration fee, casting fee, test shoot fee, portfolio fee, course fee or deposit.
• Casting requirements may include the look a role needs, such as height, size or gender, where this is a lawful requirement for the role. Discrimination beyond lawful casting requirements is not allowed.
• No castings for nude, implied nude, sexual or erotic content, and no castings framed around lingerie or swimwear.
• Castings must not ask models to move communication or payment off PostModels.

We may hide or remove any casting that breaks these rules.

• Photos and videos must show you, be recent and be yours to share. No nudity or sexual content.
• Measurements, sizes, skills and social stats must be accurate. Social stats are verified by link.
• Rates you set are your own. You may accept, decline or counter any booking request.
• Your profile is published only after ID and age verification. Your birth date stays private.

• A booking starts when a brand sends a booking request with the date, hours, location or remote delivery, fee, deliverables and usage rights, and the model accepts it.
• When a booking is accepted, a booking agreement is created between the brand and the model with those terms. Both sides can download it. The booking agreement is between the brand and the model.
• The brand pays the full booking fee through PostModels when the booking is confirmed. The payment is held by our payment processor on the platform's behalf.
• After the job is complete, the held payment is released to the model's payout account, minus a platform fee of 10 percent of the booking fee. On a $600 booking, the brand pays $600, the platform fee is $60 and the model receives $540.
• Models must connect a payout account and complete the payment processor's own checks to receive payouts.
• If a report or dispute is opened on a booking before release, the held payment stays held while we review it.
• Brands and models must not arrange payment for a job found on PostModels outside PostModels to avoid the platform fee.
• If a brand cancels a confirmed booking, or a model does not show up, the outcome follows the booking agreement and section 12. Repeated cancellations or no-shows may lead to account limits or closure.

• Usage rights for the content made on a booking are set in each casting and written into the booking agreement: channels, duration and territory. The brand may use the content only as the agreement allows. Any wider use needs a new agreement with the model.
• You keep ownership of what you upload to PostModels. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, resize and share your content within the service, for example on your profile, in search results, on castings and in shortlist links, for as long as it is on PostModels and for a short time after for backups.
• You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload, including permission from photographers where needed.
• We may show public model profiles and castings on PostModels pages, including search and city pages, so they can be found.

You may not use PostModels to:

• post or request nudity, sexual or erotic content, or castings framed around lingerie or swimwear
• post, request or share anything involving anyone under 18
• ask a model for money in any form, or run any scam, pyramid scheme or fake job
• pressure anyone to communicate or pay off the platform
• harass, threaten, stalk or demean anyone
• discriminate beyond lawful casting requirements for a role
• impersonate a person or business, or use photos that are not yours
• collect other users' data for anything outside a casting or booking on PostModels
• copy, scrape or resell content or data from the service
• test, probe or break the security of the service, except under our responsible disclosure rules on the security page
• upload malware or interfere with the service
• break any law

Every casting, profile and conversation has a Report button, and you can also write to [email protected]. We review reports and may remove content, hide castings, hold payments on an open booking, limit features, or suspend or close accounts that break these terms or put people at risk. Content involving anyone under 18 is removed and reported to the authorities. Where we can, we tell you what we did and why. If you think we got it wrong, reply to our message and we will look again.

If we close your account for a serious breach, fees already paid are not refunded except where the law requires it.

• Subscriptions: you can cancel at any time and keep access to the end of the paid period. We do not refund unused parts of a period, except where the law where you live requires it or these terms say otherwise. If you were charged by mistake, write to us and we fix it.
• Bookings: if a job did not happen, the booking agreement decides what happens to the held payment. If the brand cancels in time under the agreement, or the model does not show up, the held payment can be returned to the brand. If the job was done, the payment is released to the model.
• Disputes between a brand and a model: open a report from the booking before the payment is released. We review the booking agreement, the messages and any evidence, and decide what happens to the held payment based on those terms. Our decision on the held payment does not limit any rights either side has under the law against the other.
• Card disputes: please contact us first. A chargeback on a payment we can explain or fix may lead to account limits while it is open.

We work to keep PostModels available and secure, and Studio includes an uptime SLA set out in the panel. Otherwise, the service is provided as it is and as available. We may change, add or remove features. If a change takes away something important that you paid for, we tell you and you can cancel.

To the extent the law allows:

• We are not responsible for what models and brands do on set, for the content of castings and profiles posted by users, or for whether a booking goes as planned, beyond our duties in these terms.
• We are not liable for indirect, special or consequential losses, lost profits or lost data.
• Our total liability to you for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if that is more.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your rights as a consumer under mandatory law.

You agree to cover our reasonable costs from claims by others that arise from your breach of these terms or the law.

These terms are governed by the law that applies to the administrator of the postmodels.com service, without limiting any mandatory consumer protection law of the country or state where you live. Before starting any formal claim, please write to [email protected] so we can try to resolve it. If we cannot resolve it within 30 days, either side may take the claim to a competent court. Consumers may also use any alternative dispute resolution open to them under local law.

We may update these terms when the service or the law changes. We change the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you by email or in the app before the change takes effect. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the change applies. Continuing to use PostModels after that means you accept the new terms.

If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a right at once, we do not give it up. You may not transfer your account or these terms without our consent. We may transfer them to a successor operator of the service. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data, and our model safety page explains how we keep the marketplace safe. Questions go to [email protected].
