Terms of Service Agreement
(both membership & online store)
1) Description of service
WeSelectModels.com (known as "WSM") offers services to the public, which allows its members to communicate between themselves. WSM is not a modeling agency, nor does it claim to be one. Its a community based website, which allows members from all walks of life to interact, to potentially further their aspirations, in the chosen industry. Furthermore, this community is geared towards models, actors, photographers, directors, agents, agencies, fashion designers, scouts and all others involved in one form or another of the entertainment industry. Unlike any other modeling/entertainment related websites, WSM offers to prospective agents, agencies, photographers, employers or fellow members, the possibility of interacting with users who have been pre-selected individually by our staff. Not everyone or anyone who wants to be on this site, will be included. We reserve the right to accept anyone we want, based on the quality of the application we receive. We want this service to maintain a high level of quality at all times. Thus meaning, that whatever talents each person brings to this service, has to be of high quality in all forms. We take into consideration an application as a whole. There isn't one golden rule, as we recommend for each prospective member to do its best effort, as this would guarantee the best possible chances of being admitted. The creation of a profile is free, but membership is required in order to use this service fully, as it is to be able to communicate to other users and so forth. By doing this it, we do not need to put any kind of publicity which would be unpleasant to the user. Membership fees helps us maintain this website, its services, future upgrades and allows us to review each profile individually. Furthermore, as one signs up for the membership, we allow the user to use WSM to its fullest, without any upgrade requirements.
2) Usage of Services

3) Age limitation
The day a potential member submits his application, he has to be at least 18 years of age, or older. We do not require a copy of government issued ID, as proof to join this service, but its upon this person to be responsible and reasonnable enough to have such evidence at their disposale at any given time. We are not responsible for any kind of frodulant use of ID to sign up for for this service or for any other illegal purposes.
4) Content Submission
Two types of submission occur. Firstly, one of which is data based, meaning the information a user/member inputs about themselves. This information has to be genuine at all times and reflect their real identity. We will not tolerate frodulent profiles, misleading information, or any another kinds of improper information. This violation could cause termination of your membership without a refund. The second type of submission is in regards to the photos. The photos submitted have to be an exact representation of who you are, and not represent someone else. By the same token, you are entirely responsible for all issues relating to copyright matters and the photos submitted. That is a matter which you need to be responsible for, as we will never exploit your information to outsiders or misuse any graphical elements. By the same token, we will NEVER tolerate graphics of highly sexually explicit nature or anything which might bring confusion about the nature of WSM. Sexually explicit images, include but are not limited to images of sexual intercourse, penetration or/and with a great deal of genitalia exposure. As a member, YOU ARE responsible for submitting images of good quality, for which you have the rights to use to illustrate your profile - at all times (any kind of prostitution, escort or escort derrived services and so forth, will not be tolerated in any shape or form).
5) User behaviour

As mentioned in (2) "each person is responsible for their own actions, decisions and happenings". We are merely here to help individuals interact at different levels which could benefit them, their passions, interests and careers. The highest level of integrity and cooperation will be asked from each and everyone at all times, regardless of the matter. Improper conduct, or representatives of highly sensitives issues, will be asked to remain neutral at all times and leaves their personnal motivations or/and political thaughts away from this service, in all its form. We welcome differences in all their forms, but those should remain a personal matter, and away from this service; as this is open to the public, and some members might find some sensitive issues, offensive.

10) Pricing
As mentioned in parts of clause (8) and (9) , there is a simple one flat membership fee for the paid membership. This amount is the same for all members, regardless of their talent, backgrounds and so forth. Unless we offer a free membership through one of the promotional offers, or for whatever other reason we choose, membership will be expected to be paid in full every month when you sign up for paid membership, in order to use this service. Our very low fee, helps maintain this service, without adds which fill up many commercial sites, who offer "everything for free". There is no such thing as "free", because maintaing such complex service involves costs, and reviewing each profile for admission, takes time. Therefore, this fee helps us maintain a good service for a minimal cost. For more information regarding fee updates and so forth, see clause (8).

Featured partners are a special type of sponsor which WSM selects on its own, regardless of outside influences. We choose who we want, when we want, and how we want.

BUT, anyone is welcome to apply or show interest in becoming a Featured Partner of our service, by emailing us more information about why we should consider them, how we could work with one another and so forth. We do welcome some form of monetary exchanges in this process, but it is in no way a pre-requestite to become a Featured partner, as noted earlier in this paragraph.
Featured partners are a type of sponsor with which we develop a 1)- good deal of cooperation 2)- a high level of integrity from both parties 3)- we benefit one another in new ways 4)- we favor people who work in the same type of industry 5)- could help develop our business financially and increase our presence or/and influence in our respective markets.
