10a. Rates of pay, whether any dates are night shoots as well as the Agent’s commission and ’The Lynch Mob Agency' administration fee for any role will be stated on the availability check or brief for the role. This is the Artist's opportunity to decline a role if the Artist does not accept the terms offered. For the avoidance of doubt after the Artist has made themselves available for a role the Artist is not entitled to be released on the basis of the rate of pay.
10b. Due to the nature of film or TV productions, the exact location and call time (the start time) for each date of an engagement will not usually be known until the evening before a shoot date. Likewise, due to the nature of filming it is not possible to know before hand how long a shoot day or night will go on for. Therefore, it is of crucial importance that the Artist when pencilled or confirmed, keep the entire day(s) (or night(s) for night shoots) free to allow for both early call times and late finish times.
10c. The Artist acknowledges that the Agent will be entitled to commission for success fully placing the Artist in work on an engagement.

The Artist will be advised of the level of commission by the Agent when a role is offered.
10d. The Lynch Mob Agency shall charge the Artist an administration fee which is payable in respect of each engagement successfully placed via our system, which, together with any commission due to the Agent, is part of (and deducted from) the payment to The Lynch Mob Agency by the Hirer for each engagement (such payment deemed to include the Artist's fee plus, the administration fee, the Agent’s commission and applicable VAT on the same).
10e. The standard rate of The Lynch Mob Agency administration fee is 10% (plus applicable VAT) of the total amount paid by the Client for each engagement, but a lower rate of administration fee may apply for certain engagements. If a lower rate applies, the Artist will be advised of it before accepting the engagement

If you so object you should inform us in writing immediately and your information will not be included or available for production companies to see and you will not be charged the fee.
