Parental consent We shall not accept a child on any programme which we run without prior written consent of the child's parent or legal guardian. Payment Group lessons Group lessons shall be invoiced (via The Hampstead Factory Newsletter) at the commencement of each term for a child's involvement in the Hampstead Factory for that term. If payment has not been received (including post-dated cheques) within 60 days of the invoice date, Hampstead Factory may claim a debt recovery charge of £30.00 and apply additional daily interest at the Bank of England base rate plus 8% before and after any judgement. Hampstead Factory may charge an administration fee of £5.00 per reminder letter sent after 30 days of the new term date. Private lessons Private/shared lessons are invoiced by Hampstead Factory at the end of every term. Hampstead Factory may charge an adminstration fee of £5.00 per reminder letter sent after 14 days of the invoice date where fees are oustanding. Agency The Hampstead Factory application form invites parents to sign on behalf of the applicant for Hampstead Factory Agency representation. Once this has been signed and approved The Hampstead Factory undertakes to represent the applicant (and their immediate family where extra's and other agency work has been offered). Agency representation includes The Hampstead Factory overseeing all work from recalls to negotiating fees, child licences, on-set conditions and other disputes of any kind before, during and after a production. Hampstead Factory requests that a child's contact details ARE NOT GIVEN OUT to casters or any production staff at auditions sent from The Hampstead Factory. Failure to adhere to this request may result in The Hampstead Factory permanently withdrawing representation for a child in the future. Agency Fees The Hampstead Factory agency is for the attention of industry professionals only (password secure). It is understood that joining the agency does not guarantee a child work and that commission of 20% (this may vary for specific work) may be collected by Hampstead Factory on any work undertaken. This includes "extra work" where a job has been secured by a child or their family (parents/siblings included) through Hampstead Factory agency information via emails/school notice board or phonecalls. An adult must always accompany children to castings. Termination You agree to give a minimum written notice (by lesson 7) of a child's intention to leave The Hampstead Factory at the end of that term. If such notice is not given then you shall be liable to pay a term's fees in lieu of notice. Grievances must be taken up with The Hampstead Factory in writing within 30 days of the dispute.
