Studio hire

Booking

Hire of the studio for any use is subject to the full amount being paid. No booking will be secured until the full amount has been paid.

Booking fees paid become non-refundable 21 days before the booking date. Studio time cannot be refunded, exchanged or moved to a different date within this period.

If your booking is taken over by Lisa Webb, all liability and control over your booking is handed to Lisa Webb photography (contact@lisawebbphotography.co.uk).

Use

Customers using the studio have full use of the building and its facilities providing the activity is legal, safe and will not bring the studio into disrepute - which is deemed by the studio manager.

Levels of privacy of discretion can be observed as much as possible however access to all areas of the studio are needed at all times.

Safety

The customer hiring the studio is responsible for the safety of themselves and any other persons they have invited to the studio as part of their session. Customers should familiarize themselves with the equipment and the area and complete their own risk assessment to ensure all persons they have invited remain safe within the premises.

Customers should recognize common hazards within the studio including slips, trips and falls from wires and stands, uneven ground between the floor and key features of the studio, heavy equipment including weight and counter-weight, lights, heavy metal stands, heavy props, movement of furniture, falls from height from chairs, ladders and stools - hazards and risk are pointed out in this list and as much as possible around the studio - these are common risks and the list is not exhaustive. Customers should realize and advise their guests of the possible hazards as Briscoe photography cannot always control situations within the studio, especially when privacy is requested.

Damage

Customers are responsible for the safety and use of the equipment during their time in the studio. This applies to all events - private studio hire, studio days, group events.

A replacement or a payment equal to the full amount will be paid if the damage to the piece of equipment exceeds the equipment's worth. This includes the over heating of flashes, dropping of flashes,  or neglectfully allowing a light stand to be placed in a precarious position leaving it at risk of fall.

Damage to features and decoration of the studio space will be repaid to the full amount of the cost of repair regardless of the cause.

Customers should be aware of the fragile construction of the 'infinity curve' and be aware they should stand only on the floor area and not attempt to climb onto or up the wall and not stand on the curved area.


BY ACCEPTING A BOOKING THE CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT CANNOT BE CHANGED UNLESS AGREED BY BOTH PARTIES IN WRITING.
