MODEL HUSTLE FOR AGENCIES / VERSION 2026-10-v1
Platform rules for agencies & managers.
Plain-English commitments every organization accepts before using Model Hustle. Draft for owner approval.
Conduct
- Treat models, clients and Model Hustle staff professionally and lawfully.
- Never charge models application, casting, registration or representation fees through Model Hustle, and never require ticket sales or purchases as a condition of representation or work.
- Never ask for nude images, payments or personal documents as part of scouting or an application on Model Hustle.
- Do not scout or recruit through impersonation, and do not imply that Model Hustle employs or endorses you beyond your verification labels.
Representation
- You may invite a model to connect, but you may only present a model as represented after that model confirms the relationship from their own account.
- Describe scope accurately: categories, territories, exclusivity and dates. Changing scope requires the model's fresh confirmation.
- A confirmation on Model Hustle is platform permission and attribution. It is not a substitute for a written representation agreement and Model Hustle does not rule on private contracts.
- Models can end or dispute a connection at any time. Ended or disputed connections stop routing new inquiries and leave public rosters immediately.
- Agency rosters are adults-only (18+) in this release.
Privacy & data
- Use model and client information only to coordinate the assignment it was shared for.
- Keep internal notes factual and professional; they are never shown to clients or models.
- Do not export, resell or scrape Model Hustle profiles or client details.
- Model Hustle stores verification evidence privately and only as long as needed for review.
Booking & payments
- A brief, a shortlist, or a package selection is not a booking. A booking is confirmed only when the model and the client accept the final terms.
- State usage, license period, territory and AI/digital-replica terms clearly. AI training is not permitted unless the model agrees in writing.
- In this release agencies cannot collect payments on a model's behalf through Model Hustle, change a model's payout destination, or issue refunds. Deposits stay on each model's own payment account.
- Exposure, images or "trade" are never presented as pay.
Verification & reviews
- Every organization is reviewed manually: organization details, an official contact check, the representative's identity check and your declaration of authority.
- Paying for any Model Hustle plan never creates or changes a verification label.
- Confirm your information every year and tell us about ownership or administrator changes; they trigger a new review.
- Model Hustle may pause or remove an organization that breaks these rules.
