Please read our DISCLAIMER, and have a great day!

If you wish to use this site as a professional resource, you must read and agree to this.

Tampa Bay Modeling is a free resource for the freelance independent model, but we do retain and exercise certain legal rights. All of the material on this site, whether it is in the form of images, text, design, ideas, concepts, or resources, are protected by federal copyright laws. Images and text, in whole or part, may not be copied, reproduced, or exchanged without our express written permission. We have a certain legal license which permits the independent model to use our legal forms, providing certain conditions are met. If an agency or photographer wishes to use these properties, they must write us for permission. Legal forms may not be reverse engineered, or modified, in any way. If any party does not comply with these terms, they may be subject to a copyright infringement lawsuit that begins with collateral damages of a $250,000.00 fine, imprisonment, or worse. All of our material is encrypted with Pandora technology. Pandora technology enables evidence that will be admissible in a court of law if any party decides to reverse engineer, alter, or otherwise take our intellectual property and pass it off as their own, or attempt to use it a fashion that circumvents the legal conditions imposed on the content of this site. We will aggressively protect and maintain our rights. Those rights are what makes a resource like the Tampa Bay Modeling web site possible. All other properties are legally enabled providing it is in the context of professional Internet viewing ONLY. If you are not an aspiring model with the real intent of starting a career, a career model with the intent of becoming independent, an ethical model photographer, a business that books models, or a member of the media, you are not permitted to view or use the information presented on this site.

Enjoy what the freedom of speech makes possible. Enjoy this resource, as it is our sincere desire that it will enhance the career of the freelance independent model.

The legal license which permits the use of our legal forms and properties comes with the following conditions:

A.
The party using these resources is a professional model. The model referenced must not have an exclusive arrangement with any agency or mother agency. Exclusive contracts must be legally dissolved before using our properties, as such usage is a direct conflict of interest.

B.
The party using these properties is not involved, in any way, with the adult entertainment industry. These include "models" who do work in soft pornography, "massage" parlors, and exotic dancing.

C.
Forms may be printed and used one at a time. The model may not do mass printings and stockpile paperwork generated by this site. This is not strictly in our best interest, but the interest of the model, too. Due to the changing nature of this industry, material on this site may be updated with no warning. If a model were to stockpile print outs, there is a good chance that their forms would be outdated as they were being used. If we discover flaws in any of our material over the course of time, we will make corrections and upload updates.

D.
The format or text of the form may not be changed in ANY way. This means that we recommend skipping the word processor and printing the form directly from the web site. If any errors are noted, such as typos, we need to know about it. We will correct errors as they are discovered, so that the forms are print perfect from the web.
Copyright information on the forms may not be altered or removed. Each page must have our copyright on it, such as "(C) Copyright 2005 Tampa Bay Modeling". This includes ANY information concerning "Tampa Bay Modeling" , or references to our web site address. Removing this information is considered altering our property, and is a direct violation of the license governing the use of our intellectual property.

E.
Forms and paperwork can not be saved onto the hard drive of the model's computer. All forms MUST be printed "as is" from the web site browser.

F.
Tampa Bay Modeling can not be held legally responsible for the use or misuse of any of our intellectual properties. Printing, reading, viewing, and use of our properties is a consent to these terms, and waives us from any and all legal liability. This includes information presented on this site, business referrals to other companies, and legal forms. Our legal forms are in actual use by professional models, and we have had no knowledge of any legal issues that have arisen from their use. As such, we recommend, that, if in doubt, please consult an attorney who specializes in entertainment, business, or copyright law.

G.
Tampa Bay Modeling can not, and will not, be liable for any business referrals. Businesses that we recommend are ones that are recommended by the models that advise us. To the best of our knowledge, all business referrals are all highly recommended by a majority of professional, independent models. As such, once you begin dealing with them, Tampa Bay Modeling is no longer a part of any business transactions that you conduct.

H.
Tampa Bay Modeling can not, and will not, be liable for any job offers contracted through our job board. We do not have the time to check out the job bulletins coming in, and all offers are unconfirmed. It is the responsibility of the model to do their homework before contacting the companies responsible for the job offer. We have articles on how to set up meetings, perform background checks, check business references, and negotiate contracts in our Features section. Please study these articles and use the information. As Tampa Bay Modeling is NOT an agency, we do not employ bookers, and do not make money through booked referrals. The job board is a free resource for companies offering jobs and models seeking them. This said, we reserve the right to refuse or reject any job posting that is obviously unethical in nature, and we will not knowingly post any offers for nude or pornographic work. We will not post job offers known to be model scams. We reserve the right to edit or remove posts at any time, without warning.
