A nonexclusive modeling agreement is a contract between a model and an agency that allows the model to work with more than one agency at the same time. This gives the model the flexibility to pursue opportunities from multiple sources without being tied exclusively to one agency.

An agency relationship can be established in one of the Five ways:

1- Express Agreement

2- Implied Agreement

3- Agency by Necessity

4- Agency by Ratification

5- Agency by Estoppel

Agency by Ratification:

Effect of ratification is to backdate A's authority to act as an agent. This requires P's to:

*have contractual capacity to make the contract

*have been in existence both when the contract was made and at the date of ratification

*be identified when the contract is made

*be aware of all the material facts

*clearly signify his intention to ratify the whole contract within a reasonable time

A void of illegal contract cannot be ratified.

Kelner v Baxter (1866)

Agency by Estoppel:

*This arises where P implies that A is his agent even though he's not

*He is then prevented from denying As authority
