1. Introduction
These general terms and conditions apply to all service inquiries, model bookings, media productions, fashion show organizing, masterclasses, and online course purchases completed through HÄN Models Oy's (hereinafter "HÄN Models") website (hanmodels.com).
HÄN Models operates both as a premium agency providing model representation, media production, and event organization services and as a digital platform for educational masterclasses.
HÄN Models reserves the right to amend these terms at any time. Amended terms will be published on our website and will apply to any new digital orders, masterclass sign-ups, or booking requests placed after publication.

3. SERVICE TYPES & HOW TRANSACTIONS WORK
3.1 Digital Purchases (Online Classes & Masterclasses)
Masterclass seat reservations and online educational courses can be purchased and paid for directly on the website using available online payment methods (credit/debit cards, mobile payments, or third-party payment gateways). Access credentials, course materials, or masterclass event tickets are issued automatically via email upon successful online payment completion.
3.2 Invoiced Agency Services (Model Bookings, Media Production & Fashion Shows)
Submitting a request for model bookings, full media production, or fashion show organizing via the website constitutes an initial inquiry and non-binding option hold. It does not constitute an instant purchase or finalized contract.
Upon receiving an inquiry, HÄN Models will coordinate talent calendars, production logistics, and venue scope. We will contact the client within 24 to 48 hours with a formal proposal and quote. A legally binding agreement is formed only when both parties formally confirm the written proposal and quote.
4. Prices, payment methods and payment terms
4.1 Digital Products (Classes & Masterclasses)
Online classes and masterclasses must be paid in full at the time of checkout. Prices shown on the website include applicable VAT where required by law.
4.2 Invoiced Services (Models, Production & Events)
Model bookings, media production services, and fashion show organizing are billed via official company invoice.
Unless specific corporate credit terms have been agreed in writing, invoices must be paid prior to the shoot or event date, or strictly according to the due date indicated on the invoice. Clients are responsible for all pre-approved production expenses (travel, accommodation, catering, venue fees, equipment rental) as itemized in the production invoice.
Overdue invoices are subject to late-payment interest in accordance with the Finnish Interest Act.
5. CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS & RESCHEDULING
5.1 Online Classes & Masterclasses
Due to the immediate digital delivery of online course content, direct digital course purchases are non-refundable once access to the digital portal or materials has been granted.
Cancellations for live masterclass tickets made 14 days prior to the event are eligible for a full refund or transfer to a future date. Cancellations made within 14 days of a live event are non-refundable, but ticket transfers to another participant are permitted upon notice to contact@hanmodels.com.
5.2 Invoiced Agency Services (Models, Production & Fashion Shows)
To protect talent schedules, production crews, and event venues, client-initiated cancellations or rescheduling of invoiced services are governed by strict notice windows:
- 7+ Days Notice: Free cancellation or rescheduling (subject to talent/crew availability). Client remains liable for 100% of non-refundable third-party costs already booked (flights, hotels, venue deposits).
- 72 to 24 Hours Notice: Cancellations or postponements are subject to a 50% fee of the total agreed booking/production fee, plus reimbursement of all non-refundable third-party costs.
- Under 24 Hours Notice: Cancellations or postponements made less than 24 hours prior to call-time or event start are billed at 100% of the total service/booking fee, plus all incurred expenses.
6. IMAGE RIGHTS, USAGE SCOPE & DELIVERABLES
6.1 Standard Usage License
Unless an extended usage buyout is explicitly negotiated and itemized on the final invoice, booking a model or hiring media production grants the client a limited, standard usage license for one (1) year from the shoot date for digital channels (brand website, social media, e-commerce lookbooks) in the agreed territory.
6.2 Asset Release Dependent on Payment
Under no circumstances may produced images, video assets, event recordings, or marketing materials featuring HÄN Models talent or production output be published, broadcast, or commercially used until the corresponding invoice has been paid in full to HÄN Models Oy.
7. NON-CIRCUMVENTION & DIRECT BOOKINGS
The client agrees that all inquiries, negotiations, rate discussions, overtime approvals, and future bookings for any model or talent introduced by HÄN Models must be handled exclusively through HÄN Models.
Clients are strictly prohibited from negotiating rates directly with talent, soliciting models or crew for direct hire, or attempting to bypass agency commissions. This restriction remains active for 24 months from the date of the most recent assignment with the client.
8. PERSONAL DATA & PRIVACY
Personal data collected through website checkout forms, inquiry forms, masterclass sign-ups, and model applications is handled strictly in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and our Privacy Policy, which can be viewed here: Privacy Policy.
9. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
All website content—including masterclass materials, digital course videos, portfolio imagery, model comp cards, agency branding, and media production deliverables—is the protected intellectual property of HÄN Models Oy and/or its licensors. Unauthorized copying, downloading, scraping, or redistribution without explicit written permission is strictly prohibited.
10. FORCE MAJEURE
HÄN Models Oy is not liable for failure or delay in fulfilling service obligations if such failure arises from circumstances beyond reasonable control (e.g., severe illness, natural disasters, acts of state, flight cancellations, or major venue disruptions). In such events, HÄN Models will make every reasonable effort to provide suitable replacement talent, reschedule masterclass dates, or reorganize the event/production.
11. APPLICABLE LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
These terms and conditions, online sales, and all B2B service agreements are governed exclusively by the laws of Finland, excluding its choice-of-law rules.
Any disputes shall first be resolved through direct, good-faith negotiation. If a resolution cannot be reached within a reasonable timeframe, the dispute shall be submitted to the jurisdiction of the competent District Court in Helsinki, Finland. Consumer purchasers of masterclasses also retain the right to seek settlement recommendations from the Finnish Consumer Disputes Board (Kuluttajariitalautakunta, kuluttajariita.fi).
