Please note
that this web site is set up to help models. If anyone has anything
against this site, you should look over the site and figure out why
for yourself. You must also ask yourself why they would be motivated
to go against a resource which helps models. Genuine, ethical professionals
should not have a problem with this site. Please read our DISCLAIMER,
and have a great day!
If
you wish to use this site as a professional resource, you must read
and agree to this.
Tampa
Bay Modeling is a free resource for the freelance independent model,
but we do retain and exercise certain legal rights. All of the material
on this site, whether it is in the form of images, text, design, ideas,
concepts, or resources, are protected by federal copyright laws. Images
and text, in whole or part, may not be copied, reproduced, or exchanged
without our express written permission. We have a certain legal license
which permits the independent model to use our legal forms, providing
certain conditions are met. If an agency or photographer wishes to use
these properties, they must write us for permission. Legal forms may
not be reverse engineered, or modified, in any way. If any party does
not comply with these terms, they may be subject to a copyright infringement
lawsuit that begins with collateral damages of a $250,000.00 fine, imprisonment,
or worse. All of our material is encrypted with Pandora technology.
Pandora technology enables evidence that will be admissible in a court
of law if any party decides to reverse engineer, alter, or otherwise
take our intellectual property and pass it off as their own, or attempt
to use it a fashion that circumvents the legal conditions imposed on
the content of this site. We will aggressively protect and maintain
our rights. Those rights are what makes a resource like the Tampa Bay
Modeling web site possible. All other properties are legally enabled
providing it is in the context of professional Internet viewing ONLY.
If you are not an aspiring model with the real intent of starting a
career, a career model with the intent of becoming independent, an ethical
model photographer, a business that books models, or a member of the
media, you are not permitted to view or use the information presented
on this site.
Enjoy
what the freedom of speech makes possible. Enjoy this resource, as it
is our sincere desire that it will enhance the career of the freelance
independent model.
The legal license which permits the use of our legal forms and properties
comes with the following conditions:
A.
The party using these resources is a professional model. The model referenced
must not have an exclusive arrangement with any agency or mother agency.
Exclusive contracts must be legally dissolved before using our properties,
as such usage is a direct conflict of interest.
B.
The party using these properties is not involved, in any way, with the
adult entertainment industry. These include "models" who do
work in soft pornography, "massage" parlors, and exotic dancing.
C.
Forms may be printed and used one at a time. The model may not do mass
printings and stockpile paperwork generated by this site. This is not
strictly in our best interest, but the interest of the model, too. Due
to the changing nature of this industry, material on this site may be
updated with no warning. If a model were to stockpile print outs, there
is a good chance that their forms would be outdated as they were being
used. If we discover flaws in any of our material over the course of
time, we will make corrections and upload updates.
D.
The format or text of the form may not be changed in ANY way. This means
that we recommend skipping the word processor and printing the form
directly from the web site. If any errors are noted, such as typos,
we need to know about it. We will correct errors as they are discovered,
so that the forms are print perfect from the web.
Copyright information on the forms may not be altered or removed. Each
page must have our copyright on it, such as "(C) Copyright 2005
Tampa Bay Modeling". This includes ANY information concerning "Tampa
Bay Modeling" , or references to our web site address. Removing
this information is considered altering our property, and is a direct
violation of the license governing the use of our intellectual property.
E.
Forms and paperwork can not be saved onto the hard drive of the model's
computer. All forms MUST be printed "as is" from the web site
browser.
F.
Tampa Bay Modeling can not be held legally responsible for the use or
misuse of any of our intellectual properties. Printing, reading, viewing,
and use of our properties is a consent to these terms, and waives us
from any and all legal liability. This includes information presented
on this site, business referrals to other companies, and legal forms.
Our legal forms are in actual use by professional models, and we have
had no knowledge of any legal issues that have arisen from their use.
As such, we recommend, that, if in doubt, please consult an attorney
who specializes in entertainment, business, or copyright law.
G.
Tampa Bay Modeling can not, and will not, be liable for any business
referrals. Businesses that we recommend are ones that are recommended
by the models that advise us. To the best of our knowledge, all business
referrals are all highly recommended by a majority of professional,
independent models. As such, once you begin dealing with them, Tampa
Bay Modeling is no longer a part of any business transactions that you
conduct.
H.
Tampa Bay Modeling can not, and will not, be liable for any job offers
contracted through our job board. We do not have the time to check out
the job bulletins coming in, and all offers are unconfirmed. It is the
responsibility of the model to do their homework before contacting the
companies responsible for the job offer. We have articles on how to
set up meetings, perform background checks, check business references,
and negotiate contracts in our Features section. Please study these
articles and use the information. As Tampa Bay Modeling is NOT an agency,
we do not employ bookers, and do not make money through booked referrals.
The job board is a free resource for companies offering jobs and models
seeking them. This said, we reserve the right to refuse or reject any
job posting that is obviously unethical in nature, and we will not knowingly
post any offers for nude or pornographic work. We will not post job
offers known to be model scams. We reserve the right to edit or remove
posts at any time, without warning. All submitted material, including
job posts and E-mails, become the property of Tampa Bay Modeling and
may not be copied or reposted from our site to another site unless the
posting company does so on their own.

on this site are unbiased and objective, and that stated facts are verifiable
by direct observation at the time that the review is written. Use our
reviews as a footnote, and do not rely on them exclusively to determine

in the modeling industry.
This
site was designed to be used by anyone with at least an eighth grade
education. If you are having problems figuring out how to use this site
and do not understand it, you have bigger issues than attempting to
work in the modeling industry. You owe it to yourself to at least TRY!
If you really are having difficulty using this site, maybe you are one
of the slower models who actually needs to have an agency represent
them. If so, go find a reputable model and talent agency (hint: one
who will not charge you any money or require you to get your portfolio
done by a single photographer or photography company that they recommend-
Boom, there it is!). Good luck!
