StarNow updated T&Cs

I did skim through model management T&C’s, though I didn’t get much time so not sure if I missed anything but I think they could be a safer bet, and similiar to starnow, if anyone uses them?

I did email them through their website and asked if that clause was a mistake, I have since looked through their T&C’s again and I think they’re removed that clause, unless I’m mistaken and looked over it too fast.

If anyone else looks through them again can you confirm if I’m correct in thinking they have removed it!

I explained why I was leaving and they wrote back saying that they have now removed it.

Heh. Though it's worth entertaining the idea that any sale it was going to enable might have already gone through in the three-day period in which the terms were in force.

This looks a lot like they lied to you. Though it's exactly the lie we'd expect them to tell, right?

They in no way needed the right to sell the content without compensation to do that. They could have sublicensed the work for those specific purposes and enumerated them. 

They granted themselves the maximum possible scope. After all, Instagram functions with much less.
