Talent Agreement
Effective Date: May 1, 2026 Version: 6.0
This Talent Agreement governs the relationship between independent professionals ("Talent", "you") and Tara Trade International LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company doing business as The Booking Agency ("we", "us", "our"). It supplements the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.
By creating a Talent profile on bookingagency.io you agree to this Talent Agreement.
1. Independent contractor status
You are an independent professional. You are not our employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer. No employment relationship, agency, franchise, or fiduciary relationship is created between you and us. You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance, business registration, and compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.
2. Your profile
You agree to provide accurate information on your profile. You may not impersonate another person, misrepresent your skills or experience, copy another professional's profile content, or list services you cannot legally provide in the jurisdictions you advertise.
You may edit, hide, or delete your profile at any time from your dashboard.
3. Content ownership and license
You retain full ownership of all content you upload to your profile (photos, portfolio pieces, descriptions, videos). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and promote your profile content on the Platform and in marketing materials for the Platform itself, for the duration of your account being active plus 90 days after deletion (for caching and archival purposes).
You may revoke this license earlier by emailing hello@bookingagency.io.
4. Bookings happen between you and clients directly
We are an independent talent discovery platform. We do not broker, mediate, or process payments for services you perform. When a client books you:
- Negotiate scope, deliverables, and price directly with the client
- Issue your own invoices
- Receive payments through your own banking or invoicing channel
- Pay your own taxes in your own jurisdiction
We never take a commission on your client work. Our revenue comes from optional subscription fees you may choose to pay for enhanced visibility (see Pricing).
5. Subscription fees
If you subscribe to a paid plan (Premium, Pro, Elite), Stripe Inc. processes the payment on our behalf. You may cancel at any time from your dashboard. See the Refund Policy for refund terms.
6. Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the Platform to harass, defraud, or harm clients or other Talent
- Post discriminatory, hateful, or illegal content
- Solicit payments outside the booking scope agreed with a client
- Scrape, mirror, or republish the Platform's data
- Circumvent platform features (rate limits, verification, content moderation)
We may suspend or terminate your account for breaches of this section without refund.
7. Reviews and feedback
Clients may post reviews of your work after a booking. You may respond once publicly. We do not arbitrate the content of reviews unless they violate our community guidelines or applicable law.
8. Termination
You may delete your account at any time from your dashboard. We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach this Agreement or the Terms of Service.
Upon termination, your profile is removed from public search within 7 days. Subscription fees already paid are not refunded except as set out in the Refund Policy.
9. Disputes are between you and your clients
We are a discovery platform. We are not a marketplace, not an agent, not an intermediary. When you book a client off the platform, the engagement is entirely between you and that client. If a client does not pay, ghosts you, refuses to sign your contract, or claims the work is unsatisfactory, we have no power to compel payment, force performance, or arbitrate the disagreement. You must pursue the matter directly with the client or through civil remedies in the appropriate jurisdiction.
Disputes between you and us (about your subscription, account, or platform access) are handled under the Dispute Resolution policy.
10. Changes to this Agreement
We may update this Agreement from time to time. We will notify you by email and update the version number at the top. Continued use of the Platform after an update means you accept the new version.
