Terms & Conditions
Studio Use Agreement
This Studio Use Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Cabin House LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Cabin House”) and (the “Client”), whose name and address are outlined in the Confirmation Email for use of Cabin House’s Studio located at 7131 Irving Street, Westminster, CO 80030 (the “Studio”) and services in connection therewith which are specifically enumerated in the Agreement. In consideration of the foregoing and the payments and other mutual promises set out below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Cabin House hereby grants to the Client a limited and revocable license to use the Studio for Client’s Booking, subject to the terms hereof.
Studio Use Term
The term of Client’s use of the studio will commence and end on the dates and times enumerated in the Confirmation Email (the “Term”). Client agrees that Cabin House grants only a license to use the Studio, and Client shall have no right to enter the Studio for any reason prior to the date and time enumerated in the Confirmation Email, nor to remain in the Studio for any reason past the date and time scheduled therein. Client shall allocate appropriate time for set-up and striking to ensure Client and all of Client’s belongings are removed from the Studio by the time enumerated therein. If Client shall enter the Studio before the date and time enumerated therein for Client’s rental to commence, Client shall be deemed to have rented the Studio for an additional period of time of at least two hours. If Client fails to vacate the Studio by the time enumerated therein for Client’s rental to terminate, Client shall be liable for a penalty of 1.5x the hourly rate in one hour increments for every one to thirty minutes that Client or Client’s belongings remain in the Studio past the agreed upon termination time. Client agrees and acknowledges that the Studio can only be rented in one-hour increments and Cabin House requires a minimum booking of at least two hours for the Nest studio and a minimum booking of at least four hours for all other studios.
Studio Use Fees
The Studio Use Fee (the “SUF”) includes any services provided by Cabin House hereunder and all items, equipment, and/or personal property rented to the Client. Payment of the SUF shall be as follows:
Full payment of the SUF are due at time of booking. All payments due herein shall be made using an on-line payment option (Credit/debit card, ACH) And any standard “service fees” are included in the total fee. If payment must be made via check, a cashier’s check should be sent in advance to be deposited and cleared 7 days prior to the production start date.
If, on Client’s Booking date, the client wishes to extend their Booking for any reason, Client will make arrangements with the studio manager ahead of time any additional charges agreed to will be charged to the card on file. If the Client fails to pay the SUF or otherwise cancels the reservation for any reason, Cabin House may unilaterally terminate this Agreement, revoke the license granted herein, and keep any sums paid by the Client up to the date of termination as liquidated damages. The parties hereby agree that such amount is a fair and reasonable estimate of the total detriment and damages that Cabin House would suffer in the event the Client fails to make full and timely payment of the SUF or cancels the booking for any reason.
Credit Card Guarantee
The Client agrees to provide a valid credit number (and other customary information required to process a credit card transaction) to Cabin House upon execution of this Agreement. The Client hereby authorizes Cabin House to charge any fees, costs, expenses or charges incurred under this Agreement, or any other sums due hereunder, to the credit card Cabin House has on file for the Client in the event that repair and/or excessive cleaning is required (in the sole discretion of Cabin House) after the Booking to return the Studio to such condition as it existed prior to the Booking.
Cancellation & Rescheduling
If the Booking is canceled by Client 24 hours or less after execution of this Agreement, all fees will be fully refunded. Cancellation by Client more than 24 hours after execution of this Agreement will result in forfeiture of the full SUF. If the Booking is canceled more than 72 hours before the scheduled start time of Booking, the full SUF can instead be applied to a new date, subject to Company availability and at Company’s discretion. If the Booking is canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled start time of Booking, 30% of the SUF will be fully forfeited. The remaining SUF can be applied to a new date, subject to Company availability and at Company’s discretion. Client recognizes that the foregoing cancellation policy is not intended to be punitive, but instead reflects Cabin House’s foregoing actual or potential business opportunities in reserving the Studio for other clients and diminished ability to rent the Studio within 72 hours or less prior to Client’s scheduled rental date.
Booking Capacity
The total number of guests in the space at one time during the booking will not exceed the capacity detailed on the Client’s Booking Confirmation email (the “Total Booking Capacity” or “TBC”). The TBC includes all persons at the Booking, i.e., all guests, vendors, photographers, Company personnel, and any other persons present at the Booking. Cabin House reserves the right to refuse admission to the Studio to all persons in excess of the TBC.
Use and Return of the Studio
Cabin House will make the Studio available to the Client on the Booking Date in conformance with the specifications set forth in the Confirmation Email. The Studio will be provided “as is and with all faults” with Client accepting all defects, if any. Cabin House makes no representations or warranties regarding the suitability of the Studio for the Client’s intended use. Cabin House makes no warranties (express, implied, or statutory) as to any matter whatsoever addressed in this Agreement, including the provision of services by Cabin House, the condition of the Studio, its merchantability, its capacity, its fitness for any particular purpose, or that it will meet the requirements of any laws, rules, specifications, or contracts.
The Client will leave the Studio in the same or similar condition as it was delivered to the Client. Any outside materials brought to the Studio by the Client or any third party on the Client’s behalf must be removed by the end of the contracted Booking term. If applicable, the Client will return all rented equipment and personal property in the same condition as it was provided to the Client.
Damages
The Client shall be responsible for any damage caused to the Studio beyond ordinary wear and tear. If the Studio is not left in the same condition, the Client’s credit card on file will be charged a $250 cleaning fee, plus any additional applicable expenses. Any damage to the cyclorama wall will result in the Client’s credit card being charged for the cost of repair plus an automatic $200 repainting fee.

The Client hereby authorizes Cabin House to charge the Client’s credit card on file for any and all amounts due under this section.

The Client, on behalf of itself and its guests, hereby waives any and all claims for damages against Cabin House, its officers, agents, employees, and contractors, resulting from the exercise of this authority.
Cabin House is not responsible for the loss, theft, misuse, or damage of or to the personal or organizational property of the Client or the Client’s guests.
