    Terms of Business

         a)  1066 Casting acts as negotiator only and is not a party to the resulting contract.  For this reason 1066 Casting cannot accept responsibility for non-fulfilment or breach of any such contract, but every reasonable safeguard is assured.  

        b)  1066 Casting seeks to negotiate agreements for The Artist in those branches of the entertainment field for which The Artist is suited by reason of suitability

        c)  For the provision of this service 1066 Casting charges a fee equivalent to an agreed percentage of the contracted fee receivable by the Artist, in accordance with our Commission Policy Statement.  1066 Casting will also collect any applicable tax (for example VAT) which is due under English Law.  The charge may be made to either the Artist or Producer subject to the negotiated acceptance of the party in question.  

        d)  The Fee (commission) is charged only after the provision of the service has been completed.  Therefore there is no provision for a refund of commission in any circumstances.

        e)  Where charged to the Artist, the fee (commission) will still be due if the Artist fails to appear, said non-appearance being as a result of any action or inaction of the Artist.

        f)  Where charged to the Producer the fee (commission) is normally payable in advance and is always non-refundable.

        g)  Cancellation of any contract negotiated through 1066 Casting is not normally possible without the agreement of all concerned parties.  In the event of cancellation by either party without cause of illness or other unavoidable circumstances, 1066 Casting reserves the right to levy a charge of up to 15%  (+ VAT) of the agreed fee against the cancelling party, to cover the additional expenses involved in the said cancellation.  This is in addition to any amounts that may be payable by either party under the terms of the said contract.

        h) 1066 Casting normally acts as negotiator only and as such may not enter into agreements on behalf of third parties.  If at any time 1066 Casting is authorised to enter into agreements on behalf of the Artist or the Producer for any individual booking, such authority will be made known to both parties during the negotiation.

        i)  1066 Casting may receive fees due to the Artist (for example in the event of a no pickup booking or in the course of arriving at a dispute resolution) but must account to the Artist for any such payments that it receives.

        j) Agreements are made separately for each booking, and there is no requirement for any Artist to accept any booking offered.  The Artist can therefore end the relationship by simply not accepting any further bookings and the Agent can end the relationship by not offering any such bookings.

        k) If any Artist seeking employment under a normal non-exclusive agency representation agreement (i.e. who has not signed under a management or sole representation contract) should wish to cease being represented by 1066 Casting and have their name and details removed from any promotional materials issued by the Agency they can give a minimum of 30 days notice in writing.  From that point no further promotional materials featuring the Artist will be created, but it must be understood that it is not possible to remove information from hard copy products already published.

        l)  The Artist will be required to honour any and all contracts negotiated and accepted prior to the expiry of such written notice.  The Artist must undertake to ensure that any ongoing commission or other financial remuneration due is paid to 1066 Casting promptly and in accordance with these Terms of Business.
