1. a. The model, recognizing and accepting the negotiating capacity of Evangelia Matharikou (Guelly), assigns to her and grants her, by written agreement (the “Agreement”), the exclusive mandate to represent them and to negotiate, in their interest and on their behalf, the agreements, terms, and the allocation of their remuneration rights arising from their participation and work in all forms of advertising productions and activities (television, radio and advertising film spots or trailers or sponsorships, placements in magazines or product catalogues, fashion shows, motion and still image, Internet, SoMe, digital, print, OOH and any medium that may be created/invented/emerge in the future, etc., and similar activities), as well as in all types of theatrical, cinematographic, radio-television or other audiovisual productions that will take place in Greece and/or abroad.
   This assignment concerns the terms of each respective collaboration regarding the model’s participation and work.
   Upon signing the Agreement and for its entire duration, the model shall not have the right to cooperate with another Agency, nor to participate independently (as a freelancer) through casting companies, independent professionals (including but not limited to Casting Directors, directors, producers, etc.) or any third party, in relation to advertising productions and activities (television and cinematographic spots or trailers or sponsorships, placements in magazines or product catalogues, fashion shows, etc., and similar activities), or in theatrical, cinematographic, radio-television or other audiovisual productions.
   b. For the purpose of negotiation, the model exclusively assigns to the Agency the right to photograph, videotape, and generally capture their image by any means, as well as in or from any work used for the advertising, promotion, or marketing of a product, for the entire duration of this Agreement, as further specified below under clause 2.
   c. For the purpose of lawful participation in advertising, television, cinematographic works, and generally any audiovisual work, the model exclusively authorizes Gelly Matharikou, whenever required, to conclude and sign on their behalf the relevant agreements with the Agency’s client (the respective production company or advertising enterprise), including project contracts and agreements for the transfer of intellectual property and related rights, in accordance with Law 2121/1993 “Intellectual Property, Related Rights and Cultural Matters,” as in force.

2. TERMS AND METHODS OF EXECUTION OF THE COOPERATION AGREEMENT

   2.1 a. The Agency photographs and/or collects photographs of the talent-model and records video footage of his/her image, creating a portfolio file (Book), which is stored in a computerized database. Whenever required (collaboration proposals, negotiations), the Agency presents this material electronically to clients at the addresses specified by each respective client, participating in the selection process. The talent-model is obliged to maintain frequent communication with the Agency and to regularly update photographic and video material in order to become familiar with the industry, as both his/her image and character evolve over time. From the date of signing the agreement, the talent-model is required every six (6) months to cooperate in updating the Book, either at the Agency’s studio or remotely via email/Viber, in accordance with the Agency’s specifications and instructions. Following the photoshoot process, the talent-model’s appearance (such as hair color and haircut) must remain the same/identical for a minimum period of six months. Consistency with this term contributes to the proper representation of the talent-model and to the success of the collaboration. Instructions given by the Agency regarding the professional appearance of the talent-model must be followed.
   2.1 b. The Digital Department of the Agency Matharikou Models (Matharikou Agency – Digital Department) is responsible for the selection and curation of the photographic and video material displayed to the public through the official website Matharikou Models Official Website as well as through the Agency’s social media platforms. The management and display of the material are carried out in accordance with ISO 27001 certification standards.
   2.2. a. The Agency informs the model of each collaboration proposal. The information includes:
   a. the scheduled dates and time period of participation and execution of the photoshoot, filming, or any other type of collaboration,
   b. the location, venue, and address where the project will take place, and c. the usage and publicity rights to be granted.
   Provided that the talent-model gives his/her written consent (via written Viber/email message), the Agency signs all relevant agreements with clients on his/her behalf.
   Once the talent-model informs the Agency that he/she is available and will attend the casting, fitting, filming, or photoshoot, he/she is obligated to attend. The declaration of availability and acceptance is considered binding and irrevocable.
   The talent-model may not revoke, modify, or withdraw from the agreed collaboration, nor engage in any action that exposes the Agency before the client. Any such behavior constitutes a material breach of the agreement, undermines the relationship of trust between the parties, and directly damages the professional standing and reputation of the Agency.
   2.2. b. The talent-model is not obligated to participate in a specific number of collaborations. He/She has the right to accept or reject a collaboration proposal explicitly through written communication (Viber or email).
   In the event of continuous rejection of proposals (either explicit or implicit) more than four (4) times within a one (1) year period of collaboration, the cooperation with the Agency shall be placed on hold. In such a case, the Agency will cease sending or receiving collaboration proposals on behalf of the talent-model until the talent-model resumes communication, responds to the relevant contact, and declares the continuation of the collaboration while providing justification for the previous absence.
   Exceptions apply in cases of health-related reasons (emergency incidents) or permanent/temporary relocation outside Athens/Greece, provided that timely notice has been given.
   2.2. c. All notifications received by the talent-model regarding castings, fittings, filming, photoshoots, or recordings shall be made exclusively by the Agency. If, by exception, a third party (client, producer) informs the talent-model before the Agency does, the talent-model is obliged to immediately contact the Agency and communicate the information received.
   2.2. d. Following the signing of the agreement, the talent-model is not entitled to engage in parallel collaboration with another Agency, nor to independently undertake related activities in any form of advertising (including television and cinematic spots, trailers, sponsorships, magazine or product catalog advertisements, etc.), as well as in any type of theatrical, cinematic, radio-television, fashion show, or other audiovisual production, moving or still image productions, Internet, SoMe, digital, print, OOH, and any medium that may be created, invented, or arise in the future, including any similar activities.
   In the event that the talent-model violates this term, the Agency shall be entitled to claim, as compensation, thirty percent (30%) of the total remuneration that the talent-model would have received from such collaboration, as loss of profit. The aforementioned violation constitutes a material breach of the agreement between the parties and directly affects the Agency’s representation process.
   In every case of violation, the contracting parties are obliged to communicate immediately and/or arrange an in-person meeting in order to clarify the circumstances under which the violation occurred. Thereafter, the Agency reserves the right to reassess the collaboration due to lack of reliability on the part of the talent-model and, at the Agency’s discretion, to continue, modify, or terminate the agreement.
   2.2. e. The talent-model undertakes not to provide any type of interviews or information to Print Media or other Mass Media outlets relating to the production and project without the prior consent of the Agency, except following coordination and agreement between the Agency and the client or producer.

3. WORKING HOURS – SOCIAL INSURANCE

   The client (the respective production company or advertising company) is the sole employer of the talent-model and, by law, the only party responsible and liable toward him/her for complying with the legal working hours, overtime regulations, and social insurance obligations.
   The Agency, acting solely as an intermediary in the collaboration between the talent-model and the client, bears no legal responsibility for the client’s (employer’s) compliance with working time regulations or social insurance obligations.
   In the event that any financial discrepancy arises from the initial agreement, it is expressly clarified that the production company alone shall be responsible and under no circumstances shall the Agency bear liability.
   During the collaboration (e.g., filming, photoshoot), the participating talent-model may contact the Agency by telephone regarding the progress of the collaboration. However, informing the Agency after the completion of the collaboration is considered mandatory.

4. AGENCY REMUNERATION

   As reasonable and fair compensation for the provision of the aforementioned Agency services, it is agreed that the Agency shall receive thirty percent (30%) of the gross earnings deriving from the participation of the talent-model in the productions or activities described in Article 1 herein.
   It is expressly agreed, and by the present the talent-model grants authorization and exclusive power to the first contracting party to negotiate, mediate, agree upon, and collect on his/her behalf any kind of rights arising from every collaboration of the talent-model for a period of five (5) years from the first broadcast/use, without prior notice to the talent-model.
   The above percentage is agreed as fixed, final, and not subject to any modification, reduction, or renegotiation for any reason whatsoever.

5. COLLECTION OF RIGHTS

   The Agency is responsible for the collection and payment of rights/remuneration to the talentmodel. Balance settlements take place on the 10th and 25th of each month. Payment of rights is made following the client’s settlement of the invoice. The Agency then proceeds with the clearance process, specifically:
   a. The Agency collects from the producer the agreed rights arising from the respective collaboration and, after retaining its 30% commission, pays the remaining amount of rights to the talent-model through a title deed/rights clearance statement.
   b. The legal taxes of 20% and 3.6% (stamp duty tax) are withheld.
   c. The net financial value is paid to the talent-model.
   Following the expiration or termination of the agreement in any manner whatsoever, the Agency shall remain obligated to mediate, collect, and pay any rights and outstanding balances related to each collaboration for a period of five (5) years from the first broadcast/use, without prior notice to the talent-model.
6. The Agency declares and guarantees that the management of your personal data is governed and regulated by the applicable provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, Law 4624/2019, Law 3471/2006, as well as the relevant decisions of the competent authorities and bodies, as currently in force.
7. The contracting parties agree that all personal information concerning either party is confidential and shall not be disclosed to third parties without the mutual consent of both parties, in accordance with the specific terms included in the INFORMATION NOTICE AND CONSENT – TERMS OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING, which the talent-model has read and signed.
8. Collaboration with the Agency commences upon payment of the amount of ninety euros (€90), which concerns the processing of the presentation file, training and briefing of the talent-model, and onboarding procedures into the industry.
   The above amount applies for the duration of the agreement. The payment is made via bank transfer, confirms the commencement of collaboration with the Agency, and is nonrefundable.
   The duration of the private agreement shall be determined upon completion and signing thereof.
9. The agreement to be signed at the first in-person meeting shall remain valid for X years, as indicated on its first page. It shall be renewed upon payment of ninety euros (€90) for an equal period, namely for X years, UNLESS terminated in writing via email to one month prior to its expiration (whether of the initial or renewed agreement).
   The amount concerns the representation of the talent-model within the industry, the renewal of his/her presentation portfolio, and his/her guidance.
10. The signed agreement may be terminated by written notice one month in advance for serious cause. All terms of the present agreement are considered essential. In the event of culpable violation of even one term of the agreement, each contracting party has the right to terminate the agreement.
    The parties agree that serious cause for termination must be proven and may indicatively include illness preventing work for more than six (6) months or relocation outside Greece for more than six (6) months.
    If the talent-model unilaterally terminates the collaboration and does not lawfully terminate the agreement (termination being permitted only one month prior to the expiration of the signed contractual period), without complying with the above conditions, he/she shall be liable for compensation equal to 15% of his/her earnings up to that point or, at minimum, the amount of four hundred euros (€400).
    10.1Termination shall be valid provided that the following conditions are met:
    a) The terminating party must notify the counterparty in writing (via email sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) regarding the breach of the agreement.
    b) The counterparty fails to remedy or cease the act or behavior constituting the breach within one (1) month from receipt of the written notice.
    c) The termination is served in writing to the counterparty.
    10.2 Any act of representation by the Agency, indicatively including the renewal of advertising usage agreed prior to the termination, shall survive and remain valid even after termination for serious cause.
11. The Courts of Athens shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes arising from or relating to the interpretation of the present terms (by express derogation from any other possible jurisdiction).
    After the foregoing terms have been agreed upon and mutually and unreservedly accepted, the PRIVATE AGREEMENT shall be signed in two (2) original copies, with each contracting party receiving one copy, during the first in-person appointment with the Agency.
