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 risk of non-payment, as provided for in articles L. 3253-6 to L. 3253-21.
In this case, either the employee or the social security body or social institution or, in the event of safeguard, receivership or compulsory liquidation proceedings, the court-appointed agent or liquidator shall inform the user of the inadequacy of the security by sending a request for payment of the outstanding sums. This request is made by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by letter delivered against receipt.
The user must pay the sums due within ten days of receipt of the request.
