Paragraph 5: Substitution of the user for the modelling agency in the event of insufficient security

In the event of insufficient security, the user is substituted for the modelling agency for the payment of the sums defined in article R. 7123-20 which remain due by the agency in respect of the services provided by the models on behalf of this user. This rule applies notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary and the obligations that arise for the modelling agency from the provisions relating to insurance against…

The employees and the social security bodies have a direct claim against the user thus substituted for the sums still owed to the modelling agency by this user for the provision of the employees.

The user who has paid the sums defined in article R. 7123-20 that are still due is subrogated, up to the same amount, to all the rights of the employees and the social security bodies against the modelling agency.

When a social security body sues a user, substituted for a modelling agency due to insufficient security, for the reimbursement of social security benefits for failure to pay the contributions due, the sum claimed may not exceed the amount of the contributions due for the employees temporarily made available to the user by this agency.
