I agree to pay 50% of the total rental amount upon booking. This amount is non-refundable. I agree to pay the remaining balance at or before the start of my rental period. At the time of booking, I agree to complete all required questions and read the Terms /Conditions/ Requirements in full. Hourly rental periods are in sixty (60) minute increments. Full-Day rentals are ten (10) hours. Hourly rentals that exceed prearranged use terms will pay an additional fee of a minimum of $50 for going over the time. Additional time is added in increments of 30 minutes, automatically beginning at the end of the scheduled rental period to the card on file.

If you know when you arrive at the studio that you would like an additional hour added to your rental, that will be billed at $100/hr. (Subject to availability) We highly encourage booking more time than you think you need.
