  The client emailed: Josephinenk Ojiabo Jul 28, 2026, 3:32?PM (2 days ago) to Inquiries Good afternoon Mr Alejandro Thank you again for taking out time to reply to my email. Again, I was not informed of the value of the order ($2,500). During my visit at the studio, there were a lot of misinformation which was the reason why I reached out to you. In addition, I noticed that the measurements entered on the digital Z card for my daughter are incorrect and she will not be able to use that digital Zcard. I understand that your company may have incurred some expenses which is why I am willing to pay $700. Customer's satisfaction is important as well transparency. Please let me know how you intend to move forward. Thank you ///////////// I replied: Inquiries Studio 5:00?PM (0 minutes ago) to Josephinenk Subject: Re: Z-Card Update Hello Josephine, Thank you for your email. As I mentioned previously, I sincerely apologize for the error in the measurements on your daughter's Z-Card. However, please understand that any errors can be corrected. The Z-Card is actually designed to be updated over time. You can send us new photos or updated information about your daughter, and we will revise the Z-Card accordingly. This is especially important for young models, as their measurements and appearance naturally change as they grow. Her current statistics will not remain the same, so the Z-Card is intended to grow and evolve with her. Because of this, updating her materials is not a problem. Additionally, you will continue to have access to our Offer Verification Service, which allows you to send us any offers you receive from casting directors or agencies. We will review them to help ensure they are legitimate and to reduce the risk of falling victim to a scam. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I would be happy to assist. Kind regards, Alejandro

  The client emailed: Josephinenk Ojiabo Jul 26, 2026, 11:25?AM (2 days ago) to Inquiries Good afternoon After further deliberation with my partner regarding my verbal discussion with you , My partner and I are requesting further reduction to $700. This is because we were misinformed of what to expect during my visit for the photo shoot and it is deceitful. Being that I paid $200 advance , we are requesting to pay up the balance of $500( to be paid instantly starting 8/31/2926. Please kindly recalculate what the installment would be. Thank you Nkechi //////////// I replied : Inquiries Studio 3:16?PM (0 minutes ago) to Josephinenk Hello Josephine, Thank you for your email. Unfortunately, we are unable to reduce the account to $700, as the company has already incurred the costs associated with the order you placed, and the value of the materials you received is $2,500. We have already extended a reduction, as well as an additional discount, to address the misunderstanding. At this point, we are unable to offer any further reductions because your package has already been reduced below its original value. If it would help make the payments more manageable, we can extend your payment plan to 18 monthly payments of $61.11. Please note that the total amount paid will remain the same, as we do not charge interest. I highly recommend that you review the reduction offer outlined in this email thread. I believe you will find it to be a reasonable resolution considering the legally binding terms of the agreement. Please let me know how you would like to proceed or if you have any questions. I will be happy to assist you. Kind regards, Alejandro 07/29/2026 16:20 - [Jul 29, 2026, 4:20 PM] Natalie: Removed from AI: No reason provided

  Josephinenk Ojiabo 9:12?AM (7 minutes ago) to me Good morning Thank you for the explanation, however, I was not informed of a digital z card . The representative told me specifically among the things to expect will include a picture plaque and he said that will come in mail and he showed me a sample of it on his desk. If the amount Im paying does not include the picture plaque frame then your representative wasnt transparent and I would have to cancel this transaction/ contract .

Thank you Stephani 9:04?AM (0 minutes ago) to Josephinenk Hello, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I completely understand the frustration, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify. The Digital Z-Card is a marketing tool that includes your daughter's professional images and basic information in a digital format. It is commonly used when applying to agencies, castings, and modeling opportunities online. Regarding the materials you were told to expect, the Production Department is responsible for creating and distributing the final marketing materials, including websites, Z-cards. Processing times can vary, but they will be able to provide the most accurate update on what is included and the expected delivery timeframe which is typically 4 to 8 weeks after you visited the studio. I apologize if there was any confusion. Our goal is always to be as transparent as possible, and I certainly want to make sure you receive accurate information. If you have any questions regarding your package, please call (929) 624-2474 ext 2 Thank you

  1 of many Next steps Inbox Summarize this email Stephani Attachments Jun 15, 2026, 12:35?PM (21 hours ago) Hello, I wanted to share a few helpful resources for your child’s modeling opportunities. Casting Resource You can explore the following website for kid-friendl Josephinenk Ojiabo Jun 15, 2026, 5:55?PM (15 hours ago) to me Hi Stephani, Thank you for sending the link. However, when going through all of the casting opportunities on the "kidscasting" website, as soon as I clicked "Apply", I immediately got prompted with options that included having to subscribe and pay a monthly fee in order to apply. In addition, after logging into the USA Models platform, all of my daughter's photos have a watermark on them and I can only see the pictures when I press "Contact Sheet". The images appear no where else. When I click on "Photos", there are no photos. This is really frustrating considering the amount of money paid. Please advise. Best, Nikky- Harriet's Mom Stephani 9:37?AM (0 minutes ago) to Josephinenk Hello, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I completely understand your frustration, and I'm happy to clarify a few things. Regarding KidsCasting, many casting platforms offer both free and paid membership options. Some opportunities may require a subscription to apply, while others can be accessed through free accounts. As for the USA Models website, the watermark you are seeing on the contact sheets is normal and is used to help protect the images online. If your daughter's photos are not appearing properly in the Photos section, I recommend reaching out to our Production Department so they can review the website and ensure everything has been uploaded correctly. You can contact them directly at production@mapsstudio.nyc. I have two free casting websites in your area I can offer you if you would like to sign her up with those? https://www.centralcasting.com/ga/ (NY / GA / LA / CA – Free) https://www.gwcnyc.com/ (NY / NJ / CT – Free) -------------

The client agreed to this resolution.

  I called the client to discuss her account. She was very upset because she said she was promised a printed copy of the Z card. I apologised for the confusion. I told her I would review her account and get back to her.
