The Model Mother Agency Contract serves as the foundational agreement in the modeling industry, establishing the primary relationship between a model and their original representing agency. This contract is particularly important in the Indian market, where the growing fashion and advertising industries require clear legal frameworks for model representation. It addresses crucial aspects such as commission rates, exclusivity terms, sub-agency arrangements, and image rights, while ensuring compliance with Indian legislation.
