Client Terms

Booking

All Bookings are accepted by email, on-line request form or phone and are considered non-binding unless confirmed by email and signed agreement OR deposit prior to assignment. The client agrees to disclose and specify usage, extraordinary conditions or requirements, address and contact phone number of all booking locations and complete invoicing information at the time of booking. The client also agrees to supply adequate and accurate notes and marketing materials. Provisional bookings must be confirmed or released 72 hours prior to booking otherwise booking will either lapse or be subject to late booking fees.

Four-hour minimum at applicable hourly rate with the exception of specified liquor demonstrations (3-hour minimum). Anticipation of duration of job is to be specified at time of booking. Going rates typically range between $30 and $40 per hour in Canada, however, since there are so many variables, Buzz Promotions doesn’t work with a set pricing scale. Instead, all rates are customized to suit the budgets and requirements of each client. Additionally, we offer special rates for high-repeat and exclusive clients, and ensure that our clients have a full estimate of the cost before booking. Clients can read more about agency pricing via our blog. Buzz Promotions must be paid for the full amount of time that personnel are booked, even if personnel are not used for the full amount of booked time. Please contact Buzz Promotions directly for a quote. Agency fees & commissions are included in hourly rates. Usage fees, buyout fees, reuses and residuals will be itemized and charged individually. Payments are to be made by the client directly to Buzz Promotions.

Bookings exceeding confirmed end time will be charged at the normal rate up until the eighth hour. Bookings exceeding 8 hours are charged overtime (rate plus 30%), rounded to the nearest half-hour. Lingerie, bikini or body paint specific bookings are charged at double the normal rate. All transparent garments, body paint or semi-nude bookings are charged at triple the normal rate.

The regular hourly rate applies with a minimum of two hours. Clients with liquor tasting contracts are entitled to free training services as per annual agreements.

The client is to pay for all costs of transportation for bookings considered to be long distance (in most cases over an hour outside of major cities). The client is responsible for the payment of travel, hotel and subsistence costs when talent is required to work away over-night. You will be advised at time of booking if extra expenditure will be incurred. Travel time will be charged at half the hourly rate.

Of course! We do require either a $100.00 deposit or a signed contract for services before releasing a portfolio of available staff. Deposits will be deducted off of your final invoice if you choose to go ahead with a booking. We do our best to maintain up-to-date photos on our website. Feel free to view the models and let us know if you have anyone specific in mind. We will reach out to book them however. due to the nature of the business, we cannot guarantee staff requests off our website

Although Buzz Promotions does pay WCB on behalf of our sub-contracted staff, clients are responsible for the supervision of the event site in respect of health and safety issues. We suggest you maintain adequate insurance cover to underwrite your obligation to our personnel.

Holidays and festivities are an important part of our business and the majority of our bookings happen on weekends. Regardless of the day or time, we can provide you with the right people to make your even success.

You can pay via PayPal through our website. Fee of 3% of invoice total is applicable tor all PayPal payments. We do accept all major credit cards with 3.5% of invoice total fee. We can also arrange for direct deposit and Interac/wire-transfers. Buzz Promotions does not accept check payments.

We only charge/pay overtime in the event our staff is asked to work longer than 8 hours. If a day rate was not previously agreed on, bookings exceeding 8 hours are charged overtime (rate + 30%), rounded to the nearest half-hour.

Yes, our minimum is 4 hours. The only exception is for annual liquor agreements in which our minimum is 3 hours.

For bookings that are either “long-distance” or overnight, we ask that Buzz personnel are paid for their travel and/or accommodations. Major cities and suburbs are usually not considered long-distance however if you are unsure please ask us. If the time taken to travel to a venue (under normal circumstances) is greater than 1 hour, stat are commonly paid for their time spent travelling one way.

All workers have the right to a break of 15 minutes if required to work continuously shifts over 4 hours or a 30-minute break on shifts 6+ hours. Break should be taken during the shift and not at the beginning or end of it Buzz charges/pavs breaks at our regular rates

We pride ourselves on a statistically low no-show rate however there are instances when situations arise out of our control. In the event a sub-contracted staff member is unable to attend their shift she/he will be asked to provide proof of emergency. Buzz Promotions management will do everything in our power to get a back-up on-site ASAP. If we are unable to fill the booking we will try to reschedule. If re-scheduling is not an option we will offer a credit as a gesture of good faith. If absent staff cannot provide valid proof for not attending, they will be responsiole for an resulting financial losses and deductions as oer their start agreements.

The industry has a lower demand for males in comparison to the demand for females. We have more ladies than guys although we do have male promotional models and brand ambassadors available for hire.
