ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

The Muse Room photography studio reserves the right to change the current rate at any time, but it will not affect pre‐paid reservations that have already been made.

Payments
The Renter will pay for the rental at the time of reservation. Payments can be made online.

Session Set-up
Please include the time you need to set up and clean up for your session in your reservation. You will need to include time needed for make‐up artists, hair dressers, lighting setup, prop, furniture setup, equipment testing, etc. in your reservation time. IMPORTANT: Time starts at your reservation time, not when your party arrives. Time ends after the entire party leaves the studio area and the studio is cleaned, ready for the next renter. You must leave the studio in the same way it was when you arrived. There is no refund or discount for leaving early. If you have not vacated The Muse Room when your reserved rented time has ended, a late fee payment of $72 per hour (or $50 for anything under 15 minutes) is due by the end of that same day.

Cleaning
After each use of the studio, the renter is required to sweep and mop the floor of any spills or dirt incurred during their rented time and place any trash in a trash can. All surfaces must be wiped clean and tangible items must be put back in their original place. The couch fabric must be kept clean. Please refrain from eating and drinking on the couch and/or putting shoes on the couch. Put lights, cables, props, etc in their designated areas. Please fold and hang any fabrics and garments used. Failure to complete any of the previously mentioned will result in a $100 cleaning fee.
It’s understandable that accidents happen and damage may occur. It is the renters responsibility to inform the owner, Rebecca Evans, of such incidents as soon as possible via social media direct message, email, or phone.

Reservations
Renting the Studio requires a paid reservation in advance. Payment must be made at the time the reservation is made. Reservations must be made at least 24 hours prior to reservation date. Walk‐ins are allowed if staff is available. The Studio lease time and date selected will be reserved exclusively for you once your reservation has been paid for. Reservations are on a first come first served basis. Reservations are best made as far in advance as possible for desired times. IMPORTANT: Include set-up, makeup and wardrobe time in your rental reservation time. Please don’t be late and ask your clients to be on time. There may be a scheduled session after you that may not allow you to go over your reserved time. If there is no session scheduled after you and you stay longer than the time you reserved, then payment at the hourly rate will be due at the end of your session.

Hourly Rates
Hourly rates are based on regular open hours and are billed per hour.

Daily Rates
Daily rates are charged per 8 hours for a full day or 5 hours for a half day. Daily rates are for consecutive hours and cannot be split throughout the day. Daily rates are based on regular open hours and do not include after hours. Daily reservations must not exceed 8 hours.

No-shows
If a renter does not show within 15 minutes of any reservation, it is considered a no-show. No-shows are not refunded, transferred, nor rescheduled and your reservation is forfeited. If the renter’s staff, clients, models, crew members, makeup artists, hair stylists or any other associate of the photographer scheduled to arrive does not show, the photographer is still allotted the scheduled time and is required to pay for that time reserved. The Studio will not be held responsible for photographer’s staff, clients, models, crew members, makeup artists, hair stylists or any other associate of the photographer for not showing up or cancelling. No shows: no reschedule is allowed; all time and funds are forfeited.

Rescheduling
We understand that things happen. In the event the renter must reschedule, the reservation can only be rescheduled 1 time with no cancellation fee or penalty. Upon rescheduling, your paid reservation will transfer to the rescheduled reservation. Rescheduling a reservation must be made at least 24 hours prior to original reservation. Reservations cannot be rescheduled on the day of the reservation. If the photographer cannot or does not show on the rescheduled reservation time, that time is forfeited and cannot be rescheduled again. Funds used to reserve will not be refunded nor transferred. To prevent the abuse of constant rescheduling, we do not allow more than 1 reschedule per event.

Inclement Weather
If the roadways are blocked by official Dept of Transportation or Dept of Public Safety agencies and the Studio is not accessible, there is no refund but the renter will be able to reschedule the same reservation hours to the next available reservation date for no additional charge. The renter is responsible for staying informed on the weather forecast and local events to determine if they should reschedule their reservation in a timely manner.

Cancellation fee
If a cancellation is made 8 or more days prior to a reservation date, a refund will be given. If a cancellation is made 7 or less days prior to a reservation date, no refund is permitted, but a reschedule at a later day is allowed with a $50.00 rescheduling fee. Please understand that the average renter normally reserves several weeks in advance and it is difficult to fill the space with such short notice. Cancellations are not permitted within 24 hours of the reservation date.

Contact Information
It is the renter’s responsibility to ensure The Muse Room and it’s owner, Rebecca Evans, has updated contact information. We will send important Studio information by email and/or text. Please add themuseroomga@gmail.com to your email whitelist to ensure delivery of our emails to your inbox. If the renter opts out or does not provide an email address and phone number, then announcements will not be delivered and the renter risks the possibility of missing essential information to gain entry access to the studio.
