CONDUCT
The studio is a professional space, and professional conduct is to be expected. The comfort and safety of all guests are top priorities, so we ask that you please disclose all details of your rental so we are prepared for whatever situation may arise. Illegal substances, explosives, loaded firearms and incendiary devices are strictly prohibited. Renters are fully responsible for their guests' actions and will be held accountable in the event of an incident.

• Online booking is strictly for reserving photoshoots or video productions.
• Sharing rental periods with other parties is prohibited without prior notice.

At least one Studio Apparatus representative will regularly be on-site, but you will generally be left uninterrupted during your reservation, and any privacy needed for more intimate sessions will be respected. In the unfortunate event that we feel our policies are violated, we reserve the right to expel your party and cancel your reservation.

AMENITIES
The studio is well-equipped for all your production needs.

We are, however, often bustling with activity, changes and updates are common, and therefore, we cannot guarantee that all advertised amenities will always be available. If there's anything particular you require for your reservation, please let us know in advance so that we can ensure its availability. Please check our Instagram for our most recent updates on what we have available.

ACCIDENTS, DAMAGES & LIABILITY
Apparatus Studios MN LLC is a fully insured entity and is monitored by video surveillance.
While we do not require renters to have insurance, it is strongly recommended.

We understand that accidents happen, and that productions can often get messy. We ask that you tidy up anything that can't easily be swept into the trash or mopped up so that we can be prepared for the next session. In the event of damages beyond normal wear & tear, theft, or excessive messiness, the renter will be held accountable and charged.

All rentals require a valid credit card on file for liability purposes. After assessing damages and notifying the renter of any claims, we reserve the right to charge the card on file for any fees needed to replace or repair damaged items, cleaning costs or deductibles paid.

Neither Studio Apparatus or any of its representatives are liable for any bodily harm, or untimely demise that is occurred upon the renter or any of their guests within the space. You are using this facility and its amenities at your own risk.

CANCELLATION POLICY
All reservations are non-refundable. Reservations can be rescheduled once up to 72 hours in advance. Any cancellation or rescheduling outside of these terms is subject to our team’s discretion.

MEDIA CONSENT
Studio Apparatus regularly shares media created within its facilities on social media and its website, often for promotional purposes - whether it is BTS or completed works from clients within the studio, always with proper credit. Studio Apparatus assumes the right to do so unless stated otherwise.

If the client or their representatives do not consent to Studio Apparatus sharing any of the media created on their set, through their website, social channels or otherwise, verbal or written notice must be given. If Studio Apparatus is not given notice, Apparatus Studios MN LLC or any if its associates or representatives are not liable for any usage fees, damages or loss of revenue occurred upon the client due to any shared media.

If notice is given after media is shared, Studio Apparatus will comply by removing the media in question without any further repercussions.
