3. HOW SELEKT WORKS

Selekt is a premier virtual community platform that connects Clients with Talents and other elite members for a wide range of exclusive events and experiences. Clients can discover and book Talents for diverse activities, including but not limited to, brand marketing, product launches, luxury travel experiences, social gatherings, and enhancing the ambiance at high-profile events. Selekt also offers a curated list of luxury hospitality venues, providing Clients with access to premium locations to host their events.

Beyond event bookings, Selekt functions as a premium matchmaking service, helping members connect with others who align with their lifestyle and personal interests for curated one-on-one meetings.

As a Talent, you have the opportunity to secure paid engagements across various activities, allowing you to network with influential individuals while enjoying exclusive settings. Whether you’re attending VIP events, participating in social experiences, or meeting new people through matchmaking, Selekt empowers you to monetize your skills and social presence —all without the constraints of exclusive contracts or agency interference. You control your bookings and receive prompt payment upon the completion of each engagement

Selekt carefully selects and screens referred Clients to cultivate a vibrant and professional community, ensuring that only legitimate and qualified Talents are part of the platform. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality, timeliness, and legality in the provision of Selekt Services. While Selekt facilitates connections and provides a platform for Clients and Talents to interact, we encourage Talents to assess their suitability and reliability through our integrated rating system, which reflects Talents’ performance and interactions within the community. While we give no assurances about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of Selekt Services requested we provide a forum for you to make your own determinations.

Clients post booking opportunities on the Selekt app, detailing the services they require and the type of Talent they seek. Talents and other participants can then apply to these opportunities. Clients review the applications and select the Talents and participants that best match their needs. Once selected, Talents are notified of their approval and can prepare for the engagement. After the service is delivered, the Client pays the Talent, with Selekt crediting the Talent’s account for the agreed-upon amount. Selekt then deducts a service fee as set forth below.

Geographic Restrictions

We make no claims that Selekt Services or any of its content is accessible or appropriate outside of the United States.

Booking Processing

Once you are verified you have access to a list of venues from each city where you can create a job.

Upon payment for the job, we use Stripe, a system that allows you to use a third party such as Paypal, Apple pay, Venmo, or a credit card to pay securely. Approval is the last step in accepting a Model for a job and is not reversible. Attendance at the job is then determined by the Models checking in, geolocation technology, and by your approval.
