What if i break something in the Studio?

Can you Smoke within the Studio area ?
|
|
The Studio operates a strictly NO SMOKING policy.
It is a condition of our building insurance that smoking is prohibited, and therefore Models and Photographers found smoking may be asked to leave. There are adequate Signs around the Studio and Clients are asked to inform all present about this policy.
The Studio entrance is directly on the buildings main car park where you are allowed to smoke. A large ash tray is provided on the wall adjacent to the entrance that we ask Smokers to use.

Can i make a provisional booking and confirm later?
|
|
We can accept a provisional booking but in order to be fair to all clients we must reserve the right to cancel a provisional booking if you are unable to confirm the booking immediately upon request.
|
|
|
Am i allowed extra time at the start and end of the booking to set up and clear away?
|
|
The booked time needs to include sufficient time to both set up and clear away back to the "As Found" condition of the studio. Whilst the studio does not clock watch to the minute we reserve the right to charge extra time in excessive cases.
