Upon placing your booking, you waive the right to sue for any damages which may occur on the premises. The renter acknowledges 100% responsibility of his or her own crew and gear and any other belongings or people involved in the use of the studio during their rental, and agrees to divulge this information to anyone else involved. Any broken equipment must be paid for in full upon discovery or risk being penalized at the current market price. The building is not open to the public, however, there are office workers upstairs that share the downstairs washroom with you.
