Ban automatic renewals/changes to image licence conditions in model contracts — 33 signatures. Status: open.
Introduce a legal requirement for modelling agencies to obtain a model’s explicit written consent before agreeing to new image-usage licences or renewals, including after representation ends. Require full disclosure of contracts and fees, with penalties for non-compliance.
A model’s image may be used commercially for years, including after their relationship with an agency ends. Models can be left unaware of new licensing deals, renewals, advertising placements and fees negotiated in their name. We believe the law should require specific written consent for each new agreement, full financial transparency and enforceable consequences for breaches. Models deserve control over their image, fair compensation and protection from unauthorised commercial use.
