I. USERS UNDER LEGAL AGE

For the use of the services offered by MM, minors must always obtain prior consent from their parents, guardians or legal representatives, who are ultimately responsible for all acts carried out by minors in their care. The responsibility for determining the specific content to which minors have access lies with them, which is why, if they access inappropriate content on the Internet, mechanisms will have to be established on their computers, in particular computer programmes, filters and blocks, which allow them to limit the available content and, although they are not infallible, they are particularly useful for controlling and restricting the material to which minors can have access. Any profile of a minor user or its registration without the required authorisation will be deleted or will not be considered unless the required authorisation from the legal representative is received. Therefore, an email address, telephone number or other contact information for the legal representative will be required from minor. In the event that the legal representative refuses, or in the event that approval is not given within 15 days of our request, all data submitted by the user will be deleted. Legal representative's contact information will be the only information that will be used in case we intend to contact the minor to propose a meeting, where attendance of the legal representative will be required.

K. CONTENT PARAMETERS

MM uses an algorithm to generate search results that capture the user's attention. It does this by sifting through the millions of ads for each specific search. It works as follows: the user enters certain search criteria and the algorithm returns those ads that meet the requirements they have selected.

MM has several filters that help users to narrow down their searches. The algorithm takes many factors into accounts when deciding how to rank the results, but some carry more weight than others. These are the main parameters:

Search parameters used (e.g. price, time and duration, job required,country)
Characteristics of the post (e.g. prices, dates, reviews, category)
User requirements and preferences.
Rating and activity.
The purchasing of any Boosting services by Professionals that give them a higher visibility or their castings posts.

The search results displayed on MODELMANAGEMENT.COM and the mobile application may be different.
