The following charges will apply if any items are broken or lost during your booking:

I further acknowledge and agree as follows:

Security Deposit Policy

1. Acknowledgment of Risk and Release of Liability

I acknowledge and accept the inherent risks associated with my studio session. I assume full responsibility for any personal injury sustained by myself and, if applicable, my group members and pets. Furthermore, I release and discharge The Studio Co. and its premises from any liability related to such risks.

I agree to use all studio props, including hanging features, furniture, and other items, safely and appropriately. I will handle fragile items, such as glass elements, with care and request assistance from a studio attendant if necessary.

I understand that all personal items must be brought into the designated studio rooms. The Studio Co. is not liable for any loss or damage to belongings left in common areas. I take full responsibility for the safekeeping of all items brought with me to the studio.

I, on behalf of myself and/or my child(ren), agree to hold harmless and indemnify all Releasees from and against any and all liability arising out of or in connection with my visit to the premises.

4. Indemnification

I agree that The Studio Co. reserves the right to inspect and control all private functions. Liability for any damages to the premises will be charged accordingly. I accept responsibility for all damages caused by myself, my guests or pets, or independent contractors acting on my behalf. The replacement cost will be determined by The Studio Co. based on the current retail value of the item. The Studio Co. is not responsible for any articles left in the building or for any loss or damage to personal property.

5. Liability for Damages

In the event that The Studio Co. is delayed, hindered, or prevented from performing any act required under this agreement, including the execution of any event contemplated herein, due to reasons beyond the reasonable control of The Studio Co. management, such as: Acts of God, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, power failures, accidents, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, sabotage, war, unusually severe weather, fire, or other similar events, the performance of such acts shall be excused for a period equivalent to the duration of the delay. Additionally, the period for performing any such act shall be extended or postponed for a period at least equal to the length of the delay, until alternative dates become available.
