SECTION 2 – RESERVATIONS, PAYMENTS & BOOKING CONFIRMATION

5. Reservation Requests

A reservation is not confirmed until Studio 35MM has received the required payment and issued a booking confirmation. Submitting a reservation request, inquiry, or availability request does not guarantee availability of the requested date or time. Studio 35MM reserves the right to decline any reservation request at its sole discretion. Reservation availability is offered on a first-paid, first-confirmed basis. Until payment has been successfully received and the reservation has been confirmed, Studio 35MM reserves the right to accept another reservation for the same date and time.

6. Payment Requirements

Unless otherwise approved in writing by Studio 35MM, full payment is required at the time of booking to reserve the requested rental period. Reservations that remain unpaid may be automatically canceled without prior notice. All prices are listed in U.S. Dollars and are subject to applicable taxes and processing fees where required by law. Studio 35MM reserves the right to modify pricing, fees, rental packages, promotions, and available services at any time. Price changes shall not affect reservations that have already been confirmed and paid in full.

7. Accepted Forms of Payment

Studio 35MM accepts payment methods made available through its official booking platform and website. For security reasons, Studio 35MM reserves the right to refuse certain payment methods, require identity verification, or request an alternative payment method before confirming a reservation. Returned payments, declined transactions, payment reversals, or fraudulent payment activity may result in immediate cancellation of the reservation without notice.

7.1 Identity Verification

Failure to provide requested verification may result in cancellation of the reservation and forfeiture of any amounts paid.

8. Promotional Discounts, Coupons & Special Pricing

Promotional offers, discounts, coupon codes, referral incentives, loyalty rewards, and special pricing are offered at Studio 35MM's sole discretion and may be modified or discontinued at any time. Unless expressly stated otherwise: Only one promotional offer may be applied per reservation. Promotional discounts have no cash value. Promotional discounts may not be transferred, sold, exchanged, or combined with any other offer. Promotional pricing cannot be applied retroactively to existing reservations. Studio 35MM reserves the right to cancel or refuse any promotion that is used in violation of its intended terms.

9. Reservation Confirmation

After payment has been successfully processed, the Renter will receive a booking confirmation by email. It is the Renter's responsibility to review the confirmation and verify that all reservation details, including the reservation date, rental time, selected add-ons, guest count, and contact information, are accurate. Any discrepancies must be reported to Studio 35MM as soon as reasonably possible. Failure to receive a confirmation email does not invalidate this Agreement if the reservation was successfully completed. Renters are responsible for checking spam, junk, promotions, or other filtered email folders before contacting Studio 35MM.

10. Reservation Changes Requested by Studio 35MM

In the unlikely event that Studio 35MM must modify, relocate, postpone, or cancel a reservation due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to facility maintenance, emergency repairs, utility interruptions, safety concerns, government orders, or other unforeseen events, Studio 35MM will make reasonable efforts to notify the Renter promptly. In such cases, Studio 35MM may, at its sole discretion: Offer an alternative reservation date or time; Issue a studio credit; or Provide a refund if no reasonable alternative is available. Studio 35MM shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or third-party costs incurred by the Renter, including but not limited to photographer fees, travel expenses, lodging, transportation, production costs, vendor fees, or lost business opportunities resulting from such changes.

The Rental Period includes, without limitation: Arrival; Loading and unloading; Equipment setup; Hair and makeup preparation; Photography and videography; Client meetings; Wardrobe changes; Breakdown; Cleanup; and Complete exit from the Studio. Renters are responsible for ensuring that all Guests, personal belongings, equipment, and vehicles have completely vacated the premises before the reservation end time unless an extension has been approved by Studio 35MM.

SECTION 3 – CANCELLATIONS, RESCHEDULING & STUDIO CREDITS

Studio 35MM operates on a reservation-only basis. Once a reservation is confirmed, the requested date and time are removed from public availability and reserved exclusively for the Renter. Because Studio 35MM commits its facilities, scheduling, staffing, and resources specifically for each reservation, all cancellation, rescheduling, refund, and credit requests are subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Renter acknowledges that Studio 35MM may decline other reservation requests for the same date and time once a reservation is confirmed. By completing a reservation, the Renter acknowledges that Studio 35MM may be unable to rebook the reserved time if the reservation is canceled, rescheduled, or otherwise modified. Accordingly, the cancellation and rescheduling policies set forth in this Agreement are intended to reasonably compensate Studio 35MM for the loss of booking opportunities and the resources committed to each confirmed reservation.

13. Cancellation Policy

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing through Studio 35MM's official communication channels, including our official booking platform or email. Cancellation requests submitted by telephone, voicemail, text message, social media comments, direct messages to personal accounts, or any other unofficial communication method shall not be considered valid unless expressly acknowledged in writing by Studio 35MM. A cancellation request becomes effective only after it has been received and acknowledged in writing by Studio 35MM. Cancellation eligibility is determined based on the scheduled reservation start time. Requests submitted outside of Studio 35MM's normal business hours shall be deemed received on the date and time they are actually received by Studio 35MM, regardless of when the Renter first attempted to make contact.

13.2 Circumstances That Do Not Modify This Policy

Studio 35MM understands that unforeseen circumstances may occur. However, because reservations reserve exclusive access to the Studio and remove the reserved time from public availability, the following circumstances do not alter or waive this cancellation or rescheduling policy: Weather conditions or forecasts; Traffic delays; Flight delays or cancellations; Transportation or vehicle issues; Illness, injury, or medical appointments; Photographer, videographer, model, client, or vendor cancellations; Scheduling conflicts; Childcare issues; Family emergencies; Work or school obligations; Personal scheduling changes; Failure to obtain permits or permissions; Failure to secure necessary equipment; or Any other circumstance outside Studio 35MM's reasonable control.

14. No-Shows

A reservation shall be considered a No-Show if the Renter or their Guests fail to arrive during the scheduled Rental Period without prior written approval from Studio 35MM. No-Shows are not eligible for: Refunds; Studio Credits; Rescheduling; or Transfer of payment. Failure to use the reserved Rental Period does not relieve the Renter of any financial obligations under this Agreement.

15. Rescheduling Policy

Studio 35MM understands that unexpected circumstances may arise and, as a courtesy, permits one (1) complimentary reschedule for each reservation, provided the request complies with the cancellation timelines described in this Agreement. The complimentary reschedule is subject to Studio availability. Studio 35MM does not guarantee that the requested replacement date or time will be available. Additional Reschedule Requests Each reservation is eligible for only one (1) complimentary reschedule. Any subsequent request to change the reservation shall be treated as a cancellation of the existing reservation and shall be subject to the cancellation policy outlined in Section 13.

16. Studio Credits

When issued, Studio Credits: remain valid for three (3) months from the original reservation date; have no cash value; are non-refundable; are non-transferable; may not be sold or exchanged; may only be redeemed using the original reservation information; may not be combined with promotional offers unless expressly approved by Studio 35MM. Unused Studio Credits automatically expire after three (3) months without further notice. Expired credits will not be reinstated.

17. Seasonal Set Reservations

Studio 35MM's Seasonal Sets are limited-time installations that require significant planning, design, labor, installation, maintenance, and scheduling. Due to their limited availability and high demand, reservations for Seasonal Sets are subject to the following policies.

17.2 Seasonal Set Availability

Seasonal Set availability is limited and may sell out well in advance. Studio 35MM does not guarantee future availability of Seasonal Sets, identical décor, or identical reservation times.

17.3 Set Modifications

Studio 35MM reserves the right to repair, replace, remove, substitute, or modify any Seasonal Set furniture, décor, props, accessories, colors, flowers, lighting, flooring, or other design elements at any time without creating any right to cancellation, refund, Studio Credit, or rescheduling.

17.4 Courtesy Exceptions

Any exception to this Seasonal Set policy shall be granted solely at Studio 35MM's discretion, must be confirmed in writing, and applies only to the specific reservation for which it is granted. A courtesy exception shall not establish a continuing policy or obligate Studio 35MM to grant similar exceptions in the future.

18. Courtesy Exceptions

From time to time, Studio 35MM may, at its sole discretion, grant an exception to this cancellation or rescheduling policy. Any courtesy exception: is voluntary; applies only to the specific reservation for which it is granted; does not establish a continuing policy or precedent; does not modify this Agreement; and shall not obligate Studio 35MM to grant similar exceptions in the future.

19. Chargebacks & Payment Disputes

Initiating a chargeback, payment dispute, or payment reversal does not cancel or otherwise void the Renter's contractual obligations under this Agreement. Studio 35MM reserves the right to dispute any chargeback or payment reversal using: this Agreement; booking records; signed waivers; communications; surveillance footage; photographs; payment records; access logs; and any other relevant documentation. If a chargeback or payment dispute is determined to be improper or fraudulent, Studio 35MM reserves the right to pursue recovery of all unpaid balances, damages, collection costs, reasonable attorney's fees (where permitted by law), court costs, and any additional remedies available under Texas law.

SECTION 4 – RENTAL PERIOD, STUDIO ACCESS & OVERTIME

20. Rental Period

Each reservation grants the Renter access to Studio 35MM only during the confirmed Rental Period stated in the booking confirmation. The Rental Period includes, without limitation: Arrival and check-in; Loading and unloading of personal belongings; Equipment setup; Hair and makeup preparation; Wardrobe changes; Photography and videography; Meetings with clients; Breakdown of equipment and sets; Cleaning of the Studio; and Complete exit from the premises. Renters should reserve sufficient time to complete all activities associated with their session. Studio 35MM is not responsible if a Renter books insufficient time to complete their production.

21. Studio Access

Studio access instructions, including entry information and access codes, are generally sent on the evening prior to the scheduled reservation. While they are typically delivered between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM, they may be sent earlier or later depending on operational needs. Depending on operational needs, access instructions may be sent earlier or later than this timeframe. For same-day reservations or reservations made on short notice, Studio access instructions and access codes may be delivered closer to the reservation start time. Studio 35MM will make reasonable efforts to provide access information as promptly as possible; however, short-notice bookings may experience delays due to scheduling and operational requirements. The Renter is responsible for reviewing all communications from Studio 35MM and checking spam, junk, promotions, or secondary email folders if access information has not been received. If the Renter has not received access instructions within a reasonable time before the scheduled reservation, the Renter is responsible for promptly contacting Studio 35MM through an official communication channel. Studio 35MM shall not be liable for delays resulting from the Renter's failure to monitor their email, spam folder, junk folder, promotions folder, or other designated communication channels. Access information is confidential and may only be used by the Renter and their authorized Guests during the confirmed Rental Period. Access codes may not be shared with unauthorized individuals or used before or after the confirmed reservation. Studio 35MM reserves the right to modify access procedures or access codes at any time for security or operational purposes.

22. Arrival and Departure

The Rental Period begins at the scheduled reservation start time and ends at the scheduled reservation end time. Early arrival does not guarantee access to the Studio. If the Studio is occupied or being prepared for another reservation, the Renter must wait until their scheduled start time. The Studio must be completely vacated by the reservation end time unless an extension has been approved by Studio 35MM. A reservation is considered complete only after: All Guests have exited the premises; All personal belongings have been removed; Furniture and Studio property have been returned to their original locations; Trash has been disposed of in the designated containers; The Studio has been left in substantially the same condition in which it was received.

23. Extension Requests

Requests to extend a reservation are subject to Studio availability and are not guaranteed. Extensions must be requested before the scheduled reservation end time. If approved, extension time shall be billed in 30-minute increments at Studio 35MM's then-current rates. Studio 35MM reserves the right to deny any extension request if another reservation, cleaning, maintenance, staffing requirement, or other operational need would be affected.

24. Unauthorized Overtime

Remaining in the Studio beyond the confirmed Rental Period without prior written approval constitutes Unauthorized Overtime. Unauthorized Overtime disrupts Studio operations and may delay subsequent reservations. Accordingly, Studio 35MM reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to assess either: the applicable 30-minute extension fee; or a late fee of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per minute for the entire period the Studio remains occupied beyond the confirmed reservation. The determination of which fee structure applies shall be made solely by Studio 35MM based upon the circumstances of the reservation. Payment of an overtime or late fee does not create any right to continue occupying the Studio beyond the approved reservation time.

25. Failure to Vacate

If the Renter or any Guest fails to vacate the Studio upon expiration of the Rental Period, Studio 35MM reserves the right to: Require the immediate departure of all Guests; Interrupt or terminate the production; Remove personal property as reasonably necessary to prepare the Studio for the next reservation; Assess applicable overtime, late fees, cleaning charges, and damages; Refuse future reservations; and Pursue any additional remedies available under this Agreement or Texas law.

26. Responsibility for Subsequent Reservations

The Renter acknowledges that Studio 35MM schedules multiple reservations throughout each business day. Any delay caused by a Renter that affects another customer's reservation may result in additional charges, including but not limited to overtime, late fees, refunds or credits issued to affected customers, additional staffing costs, or other reasonable expenses incurred by Studio 35MM as a direct result of the delay.

27. Early Departure

The Renter's decision to arrive late, begin the reservation after the scheduled start time, end the reservation early, or vacate the Studio before the scheduled reservation end time shall not entitle the Renter to any refund, Studio Credit, partial credit, reduction in rental fees, or extension of time. The Studio remains reserved exclusively for the Renter for the entire confirmed Rental Period regardless of actual usage. Studio 35MM assumes no responsibility for time lost due to the Renter's schedule, late arrival, production delays, equipment setup, weather, photographer or client availability, traffic delays, or any other circumstance beyond Studio 35MM's control.

28. Permitted Use

Studio 35MM is a professional photography and videography rental studio primarily intended for photography, videography, content creation, educational workshops, castings, interviews, commercial productions, and similar creative uses. Certain private events may also be permitted only with prior written approval from Studio 35MM and may be subject to different pricing, occupancy limits, cleaning requirements, security deposits, staffing requirements, and additional terms. The Renter agrees to accurately disclose the intended use of the Studio at the time of booking. Any material change to the nature of the reservation must be approved by Studio 35MM before the scheduled Rental Period. Studio 35MM reserves the right to reclassify a reservation, adjust applicable fees, require additional conditions, or deny the reservation if the actual use of the Studio differs from the information provided during booking. Activities that violate applicable laws, create unsafe conditions, exceed approved occupancy limits, or pose an unreasonable risk of damage to the Studio or its property are strictly prohibited. Failure to accurately disclose the intended use of the Studio during the reservation process may result in additional charges, immediate termination of the reservation without refund, or refusal of future reservations.

29. Guest Count

The Renter is responsible for accurately reporting the total number of individuals expected to be present during the reservation. For purposes of this Agreement, all individuals one (1) year of age and older are counted toward the approved guest count and maximum occupancy limits.

30. Maximum Occupancy

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, an A SHOOT reservation permits a maximum of ten (10) guests present in the Studio at any one time. Reservations exceeding ten (10) guests present at one time may require a different reservation type, event pricing, additional staffing, additional cleaning requirements, security deposits, or other operational accommodations. Studio 35MM reserves the right to determine the appropriate reservation type based on the nature of the reservation, guest count, and intended use of the Studio. Studio-hosted Mini Session events or other programs expressly approved in writing by Studio 35MM may permit guest rotation during the Rental Period, provided that no more than the approved maximum number of guests are present inside the Studio at any one time. Such approved guest rotation shall not be considered a violation of this Agreement. The Renter shall not exceed the approved occupancy limit at any time during the reservation without prior written approval from Studio 35MM.

Studio 35MM may, at its sole discretion, approve Mini Sessions or other reservation types that involve scheduled guest rotation.

Guest rotation is permitted only when expressly approved in writing by Studio 35MM. Unless such approval has been granted, rotating guests for the purpose of avoiding occupancy limits, additional fees, or a different reservation classification is prohibited. The Renter remains responsible for coordinating guest arrivals and departures to ensure that the approved maximum occupancy is maintained throughout the Rental Period.

Failure by Studio 35MM to enforce guest count limits during a reservation shall not constitute a waiver of its rights under this Agreement.

32. Event Reservations

Reservations involving larger groups, celebrations, receptions, networking events, meetings, workshops, or any activity that exceeds the scope of a standard photography or videography production may be classified as an Event Reservation. Studio 35MM reserves the sole right to determine whether a reservation qualifies as an Event Reservation based on factors including, but not limited to: Number of guests; Nature of the activity; Furniture setup; Food or beverage service; Entertainment; Production requirements; or Overall impact on Studio operations. Event Reservations may be subject to different pricing, occupancy limits, cleaning requirements, security deposits, staffing requirements, and operational policies.
