1. Liability & Insurance: Renters are required to have liability insurance covering all activities during the rental period. The studio is not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or property damage that may occur during the rental.
2. Damages: The renter is fully responsible for any damage to the premises, equipment, or furnishings during the rental. Costs for repairs or replacements will be charged to the renter based on the studio’s assessment.
3. Cleaning & Repainting: If the cyclorama is left in a condition that cannot be restored through standard cleaning methods (e.g. mopping), a repainting fee of $200 + GST will be applied.
4. Use of Space & Cyclorama Care: The studio must be left in the same condition as it was at the commencement of your booking. Clients are responsible for the care and protection of the cyclorama (cyc) floor and walls throughout their hire period.Excessive or inappropriate use of paint, liquids, adhesives, tape (other than the approved low-tack masking tape provided), sharp objects, heavy dragging of equipment, or any actions likely to mark, stain, scratch, or damage the cyc surface is strictly prohibited.
To avoid any disputes regarding pre-existing marks or damage, it is strongly recommended that clients take clear before and after photographs of the cyc floor and shooting area at the start and conclusion of their booking—similar to the condition checks undertaken when hiring a vehicle. These images provide a transparent reference point for both parties.
Any damage, excessive marking, or required repainting beyond normal wear will incur a cleaning, repair, or repainting fee, assessed at the studio’s discretion.
5. Prohibited Activities: Smoking, alcohol consumption, parties, and the use of candles, fire, or open flames are not permitted on the premises.
6. Bringing in Vehicles or Machinery: The renter must notify the studio and receive prior approval if any vehicles (such as cars, caravans) or heavy equipment will be brought into the studio.
7. Filming & Photography of Minors: Any filming or photography involving minors requires written consent from a legal guardian.
8. Noise Levels: Although the studio maintains a quiet environment, it is not a soundproof facility, and complete silence cannot be guaranteed.
9. Overtime: An overtime fee of $180 + GST per hour will be charged for any time exceeding 6 PM.
10. Promotions & Discounts: First-time client promotions are valid for new bookings only, and cancellations or rescheduling are not allowed. Promotions of any kind cannot be used in conjunction with other offers. The current first-time client promotion of 15% off expires on June 1st, 2026.
11. Payment Terms:
Full Payment Required Before Studio Use – All invoices must be paid in full before your scheduled studio session. Access to the studio will not be granted until payment has been received.
Late or Unpaid Invoices – If an invoice is not paid by the due date, your booking will be automatically canceled.
Cancellations & Booking Changes – Any cancellations or changes to your booking must be made at least 48 hours before your scheduled arrival. If notice is not provided within this timeframe, payments will be non-refundable.
By proceeding with your booking, you agree to all terms and conditions above.
