By pre-authorising payment, you grant MODL the permission to bill your account, at the point you book a model, the amount specified. MODL uses third-parties, which includes Stripe, to facilitate this process and, in turn, this third-party arranges this payment with your bank. Pre-authorisation is a temporary hold on a specified amount against the available funds on your payment card. Your payment card issuer may present a pre-authorisation as a pending transaction. You are aware that even though a pre-authorisation is not an actual charge, it will temporarily reduce the available balance on your payment card.

If you do not complete the booking of a model, for any reason, your pre-authorisation will be cancelled and the authorised funds instructed to be released. You agree and understand that it will usually take between 5 and 10 days for the funds to be made accessible by your bank.
