5. Casting Selection and Shoot Details. At the conclusion of the Submission Period, eligible Submissions will be reviewed by OJG and selected participants will be invited to meet with certain OJG personnel to learn more about the participant and their Swan Story. Once OJG has met with all selected participants, OJG will select certain participants (individually a “Selected Model” and collectively the “Selected Models”) to attend and participate in the Shoot taking place in New York, New York, currently scheduled for mid-July 2026, but subject to change or cancellation in OJG’s sole discretion.


Selected Models will be selected by OJG based on how their Swan Story and Submission reflects OJG’s and Gloria Vanderbilt®’s brand image and Theme, as well as who would likely be the best representative for OJG’s and Gloria Vanderbilt®’s brand image and Theme. The Selected Models will be notified of their selection as described in Section 6 below.


Selected Models may be selected by OJG to potentially appear in OJG’s advertising campaign for Gloria Vanderbilt® Jeans. OJG shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use the Selected Models to appear in the Campaign advertising. The Campaign advertising materials featuring the Selected Models can be used globally, in perpetuity.


IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SHOOT, EACH SELECTED MODEL WILL BE REQUIRED TO SIGN OJG’S AGREEMENT, WHICH SHALL INCLUDE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A (i) PUBLICITY RELEASE, (ii) CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT, AND (iii) ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS REQUESTED BY OJG IN OJG’S SOLE DISCRETION (COLLECTIVELY, “CASTING CALL DOCUMENTS DOCUMENTS”). If any potential Selected Model fails or refuses to sign and return all Casting Call Documents within seventy-two (72) hours following notification, the Selected Model may be disqualified, and an alternate Selected Model may be selected.


All decisions of OJG with respect to casting, this process and any other matter are final and will be made in the sole and absolute discretion of OJG. Nothing shall obligate OJG or its advertising and promotion agencies, or any of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, representatives, agents, successors, assigns, employees, officers and directors (collectively, the “OJG Parties”) to include any Selected Model in the Campaign or make use of any of the rights set forth herein.


OJG will provide each Selected Model with: (i) round-trip coach airfare between the major airport that is nearest to the Selected Model’s residence and the Shoot location in New York, or other location as determined by OJG at its sole discretion; and (ii) reasonable hotel accommodations for the duration of the Shoot at a hotel selected by OJG in its sole discretion. If a Selected Model’s residence is close enough to New York such that air transportation is deemed by OJG in its sole discretion to be unnecessary, OJG will provide railway or alternative ground transportation in lieu of air transportation for such Selected Model, and no other substitution or payment will be provided. All travel arrangements (including airfare and hotel arrangements and departure and return dates) will be made by OJG in its sole discretion. The Selected Models must possess all required travel and work documents, including visas and valid passports, if and as applicable. Airline tickets are non-refundable/non-transferable and are not valid for upgrades and/or frequent flyer miles. Other travel restrictions and blackout dates may apply. All airline tickets and other travel arrangements are subject to the vagaries of flight and trip variation, work stoppages, and schedule or route changes. Other hotel fees may not be included and if applicable may be payable at the time of check-out by the Selected Model. A deposit or payment in advance, or presentation of a credit card by the Selected Models, may be required by the hotel at the time of check-in. Any hotel cancellations or changes to hotel reservations after confirmation must be made with the hotel directly, and the Selected Models are solely responsible for any charges and/or fees arising from changes made directly with the hotel. The restrictions and conditions stated herein are not all-inclusive and the Shoot may be subject to additional restrictions and conditions, which may be stated in travel or other documents.


In the event any Selected Model engages in behavior that, as determined by OJG in its sole discretion, is obnoxious or threatening, illegal or that is intended to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any other person, OJG reserves the right to terminate the trip or other applicable experience early, in whole or in part, and send the Selected Model home with no further compensation. If a Selected Model does not or cannot participate in the Shoot due to scheduling conflicts, cancellations, postponement, an event of force majeure, or for any other reason, such Selected Model may be disqualified and an alternate participant may be selected. Each Selected Model’s schedule during the Shoot will be entirely at OJG’s discretion and is subject to change without notice.


Each Selected Model must verify his or her identity via photo ID and his or her legal right to work in the United States in advance of the Shoot. If a Selected Model lacks or fails to provide such verification, he or she may be disqualified from the Casting Call and an alternative Selected Model may be selected.


THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT A SELECTED MODEL WILL RECEIVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SHOOT, AND ALL PARTICIPANTS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BEING SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SHOOT DOES NOT ENSURE ANY SELECTED MODEL WILL BE A PART OF THE CAMPAIGN OR IN ANY OTHER WAY BE INVOLVED IN OR ASSOCIATED WITH OJG OR THE GLORIA VANDERBILT® BRAND. OJG RESERVES THE RIGHT TO NOT USE ANY OF THE SELECTED MODELS IN ANY CAMPAIGN AND MAY INSTEAD USE SOMEONE WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS CASTING CALL OR THE SHOOT.


6. Notification. OJG will notify each potential Selected Model by e-mail, which shall include OJG’s contact information and instructions for the potential Selected Model to respond. Potential Selected Models will only be contacted by an email address ending in “@ojg.com”. The potential Selected Model must respond to OJG using that contact information within seventy-two (72) hours of notification. OJG shall have no liability for any selection notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by a potential Selected Model for any reason. If a potential Selected Model does not respond within seventy-two (72) hours of the notification attempt, or if the notification is returned as unclaimed or undeliverable to such potential Selected Model, such potential Selected Model will forfeit his or her participation in the Shoot and an alternate Selected Model may be selected. If any potential Selected Model is found to be ineligible, or if he or she has not complied with these Terms or declines for any reason prior to the Shoot, such potential Selected Model will be disqualified and an alternate participant may (but is not required to) be selected. OJG may rescind any such selection or notification at any time, with or without cause.


7. Grant of Rights. Each participant hereby grants to OJG an irrevocable, nonexclusive, royalty free license to reproduce, distribute, modify and otherwise use in any manner his or her Submissions. All Submissions or other materials and personal information submitted by participants may be shared by and between all parents, affiliates, and subsidiaries of OJG. By participating in the Casting Call, each participant hereby agrees to OJG’s collection and usage of any personal information included in his or her Submission and to notify participants about OJG news and information for promotional purposes, all in accordance with OJG’s privacy policy at https://gloria-vanderbilt.com/pages/privacy-policy-fa24.

The selection of Selected Models to participate in the Shoot is provided “as is, where is,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied.


IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS OR PROFITS) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH PARTICIPATION IN THE CASTING CALL, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO ALL PARTICIPANTS.
