Studio rental agreement

1. Parties

This Agreement is entered into between Pure Visions Studios ("Studio," "we," "us," or "our"), located in Conroe, TX, and the individual or authorized business representative identified on the applicable booking confirmation ("Renter," "you," or "your").

The Renter represents that all information submitted in connection with the booking is accurate.

2. Studio premises

The rental applies only to the Pure Visions Studios premises identified in the booking confirmation. Access to any area not designated for customer use is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Studio.

The Renter receives a temporary right to occupy and use the Studio during the confirmed reservation period only. Nothing in this Agreement creates a lease, tenancy, property interest, partnership, employment relationship, joint venture, or other ownership interest in the Studio.

3. Booking information

Each reservation is associated with the Renter's full legal name, business name (if applicable), email address, phone number, booking reference, rental date, start and end times, and total rental amount. The booking confirmation and this Agreement together form the Renter's reservation contract.

4. Rental rate and full payment

The standard Studio rental rate is currently $75.00 per hour, unless another price, promotion, package, or written rate is specifically shown on the Renter's booking confirmation.

One hundred percent (100%) of the rental price is due at the time of booking. This payment is payment in full, not a partial deposit. The reservation is not confirmed, guaranteed, or held until required payment has been successfully received. Pure Visions Studios is not required to hold an unpaid time slot.

5. Rental period

The Renter may use the Studio only during the exact period stated on the confirmed reservation. The rental period includes all arrival, unloading, setup, hair or makeup preparation, photography, videography, content creation, wardrobe changes, breakdown, cleanup, loading, and departure. All of these activities must occur within the reserved time.

6. Overtime

Additional Studio time is subject to availability and Studio approval. The Renter should request an extension before the reservation ends whenever possible. Remaining in or continuing to use the Studio beyond the reservation ending time does not automatically extend the reservation.

Unauthorized or approved overtime may be billed in 30-minute increments at 1.5 times the applicable hourly rate. At the current $75 hourly rate, this equals $112.50 per overtime hour, prorated into 30-minute increments. Overtime charges do not guarantee that additional time will be available. The Renter may be required to leave immediately if another reservation follows.

7. Cancellation policy

All customer-initiated bookings are non-refundable. Once a reservation has been completed and paid, the rental payment is non-refundable except where this Agreement specifically states otherwise. This includes cancellations resulting from:

• Change of plans
• Scheduling conflicts
• Client, model, or photographer cancellation
• Illness
• Transportation problems
• Late arrival or inability to attend
• Failure to obtain necessary permits or permissions
• No-show or failure of members of the Renter's party to attend

8. Rescheduling policy

The Studio permits one rescheduling request per reservation. The Renter must provide at least 72 hours' notice before the scheduled beginning of the reservation.

Rescheduling requests must be submitted in writing, received at least 72 hours before the scheduled start, made by the person who booked the Studio, subject to Studio availability, and approved by Pure Visions Studios. Approval is not automatic.

Requests received less than 72 hours before the reservation are not eligible for rescheduling unless Pure Visions Studios chooses to make an exception in writing. Only one reschedule is permitted unless the Studio specifically agrees otherwise. Failure to attend an approved rescheduled reservation results in forfeiture of the full payment.

9. No-shows

A reservation is considered a no-show if the Renter does not attend the reservation and has not obtained an approved reschedule. No-shows forfeit all payments and are not entitled to a refund or a replacement Studio session.

10. Studio-initiated cancellations

Pure Visions Studios may cancel or interrupt a reservation when reasonably necessary because of unsafe Studio conditions, building maintenance, equipment or facility failure, emergency, utility failure, security concerns, government order, or circumstances preventing lawful or safe use of the Studio.

If the Studio cancels a reservation for an operational reason within the Studio's reasonable control and the Renter did not cause the cancellation, the Studio may offer the Renter either a replacement reservation at another mutually available time or a refund of the rental amount paid for the affected reservation. The Studio will not be responsible for consequential expenses such as photographer fees, model fees, travel costs, client refunds, lost revenue, missed opportunities, or production expenses.

11. Force majeure

Pure Visions Studios will not be considered in breach of this Agreement because of delays, closures, interruptions, or inability to provide access caused by circumstances reasonably beyond the Studio's control, including severe weather, flood, hurricane, tornado, fire, natural disaster, government restriction, civil emergency, public utility outage, widespread power outage, building emergency, pandemic-related governmental restrictions, acts of God, or other extraordinary circumstances beyond the Studio's reasonable control. When reasonably possible, the Studio may provide a one-time reschedule subject to availability.

12. Permitted use

The Studio may be used primarily for lawful photography, videography, social media content, commercial content, portrait sessions, product photography, branding sessions, and approved creative productions. Any materially different activity should receive prior Studio approval. The Renter may not use the Studio for unlawful purposes.

13. Responsibility for renter's party

The Renter is responsible for the behavior and compliance of everyone brought into the Studio under the Renter's reservation, including clients, models, children, family members, guests, employees, photographers, videographers, assistants, makeup artists, hair stylists, contractors, crew, and vendors.

A violation of Studio rules by a member of the Renter's party will be treated as a violation by the Renter. The person who books the Studio remains financially responsible under this Agreement.

14. Maximum occupancy

Maximum Studio capacity is 10 people total per reservation, unless Pure Visions Studios gives advance written approval for additional occupants. The count includes the photographer, videographer, Renter, models, clients, children, parents, assistants, makeup artists, guests, and crew.

The Studio may refuse additional guests, require excess guests to leave, charge $50 per unauthorized additional guest, and/or terminate the rental when occupancy requirements are materially violated. Termination for violating the occupancy limit does not entitle the Renter to a refund.

15. General studio conduct

All Studio users must conduct themselves safely and respectfully. The Renter agrees to follow reasonable instructions from Studio staff, handle Studio property carefully, respect neighboring businesses and property, avoid disruptive or dangerous behavior, maintain reasonable noise levels, supervise children, and immediately report accidents or damage.

The following are prohibited: fighting, threatening behavior, harassment, intentional property damage, illegal activity, reckless conduct, and behavior presenting an unreasonable danger to people or property.

16. Prohibited items and activities

Unless specifically approved in writing, the following are prohibited:

17. Walls and building surfaces

Renters may not hammer nails into walls, install screws, drill holes, staple walls, permanently attach items, paint, mark, or write on walls, modify flooring, or permanently alter doors, windows, ceilings, or fixtures. Temporary mounting methods must receive approval when they could potentially damage the property. Any resulting repair cost is the responsibility of the Renter.

18. Animals

Animals are prohibited unless Pure Visions Studios approves the animal in advance or access is otherwise required by applicable law. When an animal is permitted, the Renter remains responsible for supervision, cleaning, property damage, waste, injury caused by the animal, and disruption caused by the animal.

19. Children and minors

Children under 18 must be appropriately supervised at all times. Pure Visions Studios does not provide childcare or supervision. The Renter is responsible for ensuring minors do not climb Studio furniture, play with electrical equipment, enter restricted areas, damage backdrops, misuse props, or create unsafe conditions.

If a minor's parent or legal guardian is not present, the Renter is responsible for obtaining any permissions legally required for the minor's participation. The Studio may require a separate parental or guardian acknowledgment for certain productions.

20. Assumption of ordinary studio risks

The Renter understands that photography and production studios may contain objects and conditions including electrical cables, extension cords, light stands, photography lights, backdrop stands, furniture, props, equipment cases, stools, ladders, elevated equipment, moving equipment, temporary production setups, reflective surfaces, and equipment positioned on floors. These conditions may present risks including slipping, tripping, falling, collisions, strains, cuts, bruising, electrical injury, property damage, and other injuries. The Renter agrees to exercise reasonable care and assumes the ordinary risks associated with entering and using a photography and production Studio.

21. Release of liability, including ordinary negligence

To the fullest extent permitted by Texas law, the Renter knowingly, voluntarily, and expressly releases, waives, and discharges Pure Visions Studios and its owners, members, managers, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives from claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, or liabilities for personal injury, death, loss of property, or damage to property arising from or related to the Renter's entry into, presence at, occupancy of, or use of Pure Visions Studios, including claims caused in whole or in part by the ordinary negligence of Pure Visions Studios or another released party.

The Renter expressly understands and agrees that this release includes claims alleging that Pure Visions Studios or another released party was ordinarily negligent, including, to the extent permitted by law, allegations involving the ordinary negligent maintenance, inspection, condition, arrangement, or operation of the Studio premises, Studio furniture, props, backdrops, or equipment.

This release does not apply to gross negligence, willful or intentional misconduct, or any liability that cannot lawfully be waived or released under applicable law.

22. Limitation of release to signing renter

The release in Section 21 applies to the Renter who signs this Agreement and persons whom the Renter has lawful authority to bind. Pure Visions Studios may require individual adult participants or guests to execute separate liability releases when appropriate.

23. Indemnification for renter and renter party conduct

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Renter agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Pure Visions Studios and its owners, employees, agents, contractors, and representatives from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, and reasonable costs arising from acts or omissions of the Renter or the Renter's party, the Renter's violation of this Agreement, damage caused by the Renter or the Renter's party, illegal activities, failure to obtain required permissions or permits, intellectual-property infringement caused by material brought into or created during the production, or injury to another person caused by the Renter or members of the Renter's party.

This indemnification section is not intended to require the Renter to indemnify Pure Visions Studios for liability caused by Pure Visions Studios' own negligence.

24. Equipment

Studio equipment may only be used for its intended purpose. The Renter shall not disassemble, alter, rewire, disconnect, remove, or modify equipment without authorization. The Renter must immediately notify the Studio if equipment malfunctions, breaks, becomes unsafe, or is damaged. Equipment should not continue to be used when an apparent safety issue exists.

25. Furniture and props

Furniture and props must be treated carefully. Heavy furniture may not be moved without approval. Furniture and props that are moved must be returned to their original locations before the end of the reservation. Renters may not stand on furniture not designed for standing, drag heavy furniture across floors, intentionally alter furniture, remove furniture from the Studio, or use property in an unsafe manner.

26. Backdrops

The Renter may use only the backdrops included with or approved for the reservation. Backdrops must be handled carefully. The Renter may not intentionally tear, cut, paint, stain, permanently mark, or remove a backdrop without Studio authorization. Replacement or repair charges may apply to damage beyond ordinary wear.

27. Damage to studio property

The Renter is financially responsible for damage caused by the Renter or the Renter's party beyond ordinary wear. This includes damage to walls, flooring, doors, windows, mirrors, restroom fixtures, furniture, props, backdrops, stands, cables, electronics, Studio equipment, building fixtures, and other Studio property. The Renter must report damage as soon as reasonably possible and agrees to pay the reasonable cost necessary to clean, repair, restore, or replace damaged property.

28. Damage documentation and payment

Pure Visions Studios may document damage using photographs, video, repair estimates, receipts, replacement invoices, contractor invoices, cleaning invoices, and other reasonable documentation. The Studio may send the Renter an invoice for amounts owed under this Agreement. Where separately authorized by the booking/payment system and permitted by law, charges may also be processed through the payment method associated with the reservation.

29. Cleanliness

The Renter must leave the Studio in substantially the same condition in which it was provided. Before departure, the Renter must remove personal belongings, place trash in designated receptacles, clean spills, return furniture, props, and equipment, leave restrooms reasonably clean, and remove items brought into the Studio. Normal use is expected; excessive mess is not.

30. Excessive cleaning fee

A minimum $100 excessive cleaning fee may be assessed when the condition of the Studio requires cleaning substantially beyond ordinary turnover between reservations. Examples include large spills, stains, confetti, glitter, excessive trash, food left throughout the Studio, bodily fluids, animal waste, unauthorized paint or powders, smoke residue, or damage requiring specialized cleaning. If the actual reasonable cost of cleaning, restoration, or repair exceeds $100, the Renter may be responsible for the additional amount.

31. Food and beverages

Food and beverages must be consumed responsibly. The Renter is responsible for spills and stains. Food and beverages may be restricted from certain areas containing backdrops, electronics, Studio equipment, or specialized furniture. Alcohol is not permitted unless specifically approved and legally permitted. The Studio reserves the right to prohibit alcohol entirely for a particular reservation.

32. Noise

Music and other sound must remain at a reasonable level. The Renter must reduce volume immediately if requested by Studio staff, building management, or an authorized property representative. Live bands, amplified instruments, drums, high-powered audio systems, and productions reasonably likely to create unusual noise require advance approval.

33. Studio access and security

Any door code, lockbox code, key, access credential, or temporary password provided to the Renter is provided only for the applicable reservation. Access information may not be published, posted online, shared publicly, given to unauthorized persons, or used outside the reserved period. The Renter is responsible for persons admitted using access information supplied to the Renter.

34. Departure and locking procedures

Before leaving, the Renter must gather personal belongings, remove trash as instructed, return Studio equipment, furniture, and props, turn off equipment and appropriate lights as instructed, close doors, and lock the Studio as instructed. The Renter may be responsible for losses or damages proximately caused by failing to reasonably secure the Studio.

35. Lost, stolen, or abandoned property

Pure Visions Studios is not responsible for personal property that is lost, forgotten, stolen, damaged, or abandoned at the Studio, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded. The Renter is responsible for checking the Studio before leaving. Items found after a reservation may be held for up to 48 hours unless the Studio agrees to another arrangement, after which the Studio may dispose of, donate, or otherwise handle abandoned property at its reasonable discretion.

36. Parking

Any available Studio parking is provided on a first-come, first-served basis unless otherwise stated. The Studio does not guarantee a particular parking space. Renters and guests may not block driveways, fire lanes, entrances, exits, or neighboring businesses, or park in unauthorized spaces. Pure Visions Studios is not responsible for vehicle theft, vehicle damage, towing, citations, or property left in vehicles except to the extent liability cannot legally be excluded.

37. Photography, video, copyrights and releases

The Renter is solely responsible for obtaining any permissions legally required for the Renter's production, which may include model releases, minor releases, property releases, music licenses, copyright licenses, trademark permissions, client permissions, location permissions, commercial permits, and other third-party authorizations. Rental of the Studio does not grant the Renter ownership or licensing rights to third-party intellectual property.

38. Personal injury and incident reporting

Any significant accident, injury, property damage, or safety concern occurring during a reservation should be reported to Pure Visions Studios as soon as reasonably possible. Where appropriate, emergency services should be contacted immediately. Nothing in this Agreement requires a person to delay emergency medical treatment in order to contact the Studio.

39. Higher-risk productions

Pure Visions Studios may require additional approval, documentation, safety procedures, deposits, or insurance for productions involving unusual risk, including large crews, specialized machinery, unusually heavy equipment, stunts, unusual electrical requirements, significant property alterations, commercial productions with substantial equipment, or activities materially outside normal photography or videography. The Studio may decline a proposed production if it reasonably determines that the production cannot be conducted safely or appropriately within the space.

40. Right to refuse service

Pure Visions Studios reserves the right, to the extent permitted by law, to decline or discontinue a rental when necessary because of safety concerns, illegal activity, threatening behavior, material violation of Studio policies, intentional property damage, unauthorized occupancy, dangerous activities, nonpayment, fraud, or unauthorized use of Studio access credentials.

41. Immediate termination

Pure Visions Studios may terminate a reservation immediately for a material violation of this Agreement, including smoking inside the Studio, open flames without approval, intentional property damage, violence, illegal activities, dangerous behavior, refusal to follow safety instructions, unauthorized parties or events, material occupancy violations, or unauthorized transfer or sublease. If termination results from the Renter's violation, the Renter is not entitled to a refund for unused Studio time and remains responsible for damage, cleaning, or other valid charges resulting from the violation.

42. No assignment, resale, or subleasing

The Renter may not assign, sell, or transfer the reservation, sublease the Studio, rent Studio access to another party, or allow another business to take over the reservation without prior written approval from Pure Visions Studios. Unauthorized transfers are void. The original Renter remains responsible for the reservation unless the Studio expressly releases the original Renter in writing.

43. Chargebacks and payment disputes

Nothing in this Agreement prevents a Renter from exercising lawful rights regarding a legitimate payment dispute. However, initiating a chargeback does not automatically cancel or modify the obligations agreed to under this Agreement. Pure Visions Studios may provide the payment processor or financial institution with relevant documentation, including the signed Agreement, booking confirmation, payment receipt, cancellation and rescheduling policies, communication records, access records, and other relevant reservation documentation.

44. Authority to sign

The person entering into this Agreement represents and warrants that they are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement. If the signer books on behalf of a business, corporation, LLC, partnership, agency, or organization, the signer represents that they have authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of that entity.

45. Electronic transactions

The Renter consents to conducting the Studio booking transaction electronically. The parties agree that the Agreement may be presented electronically, acceptance may occur electronically, a signature may be entered electronically, the signed Agreement may be stored electronically, and booking confirmations may be transmitted electronically.

46. Electronic signature

Typing, drawing, clicking, checking, or otherwise applying an authorized electronic signature through the Studio's booking process constitutes the Renter's electronic signature. The booking system may maintain information associated with the transaction, including the Renter's name, email, phone number, booking reference, date, time, signature, acceptance record, transaction information, and other system-generated records reasonably associated with the booking.

47. Copy of agreement

A signed copy of this Agreement should be made available to the Renter electronically. The Studio may store the executed Agreement with the booking record.

48. Transactional communications

The Renter agrees that Pure Visions Studios may communicate electronically regarding the reservation through information supplied during booking, including confirmation messages, access instructions, reminder messages, schedule changes, safety information, rescheduling information, payment receipts, and other communications directly related to the reservation. This provision does not itself constitute consent to unrelated marketing communications where separate consent is legally required.

49. Governing law

This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

50. Venue

To the extent legally permitted, any lawsuit arising directly from this Agreement shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Montgomery County, Texas, unless applicable law requires another venue.

51. Attorney's fees and costs

To the extent authorized by applicable law, the prevailing party in a legal action arising from or relating to this Agreement may recover reasonable attorney's fees and court costs where such recovery is permitted.

52. Entire agreement

This Agreement, together with the booking confirmation, any specific written addendum, and any Studio rules expressly incorporated into the reservation, constitutes the entire agreement relating to the applicable Studio rental. It supersedes prior discussions or representations concerning that particular booking to the extent they conflict with the signed Agreement.

53. Modifications

No material amendment to an executed reservation agreement will be effective unless agreed to in writing or electronically by the parties where required. The version accepted by the Renter at booking governs that reservation. Pure Visions Studios may update its agreement for future bookings, but a later version does not automatically replace the agreement applicable to an already executed booking.

54. Severability

If a court determines that a provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, that provision should be enforced to the maximum extent legally permissible where appropriate. The remaining provisions will remain effective to the extent permitted by law.

55. No waiver

Failure by Pure Visions Studios to enforce a provision on one occasion does not automatically waive the right to enforce that provision in the future. A waiver of one violation does not constitute a waiver of another violation.

56. Headings

Section titles and headings are included for organization and convenience. Except where formatting is intentionally used to provide conspicuous notice, headings do not independently expand or restrict the substantive terms of the Agreement.

57. Renter acknowledgment

By signing, the Renter acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to read this Agreement before completing the reservation; they understand the Studio's payment, cancellation, and rescheduling policies; they understand that full payment is required at booking and that customer-initiated bookings are non-refundable; they understand the 72-hour rescheduling requirement and the 10-person occupancy limit; they accept responsibility for damage caused by the Renter or the Renter's party; they understand the assumption-of-risk provisions and have specifically reviewed Section 21 (Release of Liability Including Pure Visions Studios' Own Ordinary Negligence); and they intend their electronic signature to bind them to this Agreement.
