Terms and Conditions of Hire

1Bookings and confirmation

A booking is confirmed only upon full payment, or upon payment of a deposit where a deposit is specified at the time of booking. Until that payment is received, the date and the room are not held.

The deposit amount, where one applies, is confirmed to you at the time of booking.

2Prices

Prices are as listed on this website and are subject to change without notice.

The price that applies to your booking is the price confirmed to you when the booking is made.

3Session lengths

Where a rate is described as a half day, that means four hours. Where a rate is described as a full day, that means eight hours.

Booked time includes your set-up and your pack-down. If you need the room clear and lit before the shoot begins, book the time you actually need.

4Cancellations and rescheduling

Bookings may be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 48 hours' notice.

Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the booking incur a cancellation fee. The amount of that fee is confirmed at the time of booking.

No-shows and same-day cancellations are non-refundable.

5Arrival and overrunning

Clients must arrive on time. A late arrival does not extend the booked session — the room is released at the end of the booked slot, and another production may be coming in behind you.

Additional time used beyond the booked session incurs extra charges. The rate for additional time is confirmed at the time of booking.

6Use of the space and equipment

Clients are responsible for any damage caused to equipment or facilities during their booking.

This includes damage caused by anyone you bring into the building — crew, talent, contractors and guests.

7Under-18s

Children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times while in the building.

8Liability

Scope Media Studios is not liable for personal injury, loss, or damage to client property.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

9Insurance

Clients must have appropriate insurance cover in place for their production. This is your responsibility to arrange, and we may ask to see it.

10Your content and your rights

Clients retain all rights to the content they produce at Scope Media Studios. We do not claim any interest in your work.

We may ask permission to use behind-the-scenes footage or images from your booking. We will not use any such material without your prior written consent.

11Conduct

Disruptive, abusive or inappropriate behaviour may result in the immediate termination of the session without refund.

This applies to everyone present under your booking, not only the person who made it.

12Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
