When making a booking with Bluebird Studio you agree to the following terms and conditions.

General

Throughout these terms and conditions, Bluebird Studio will be referred to as “the company”. The person(s) and/or company who pay for the equipment hire will be herein referred to as the “client”.

Booking

Booking is not confirmed until the company has received a booking fee and confirmation has been sent to the client by letter or e-mail. That doesn’t include automated e-mail confirming payment of deposit.
When booking a Selfie Mirror or any other product with our company it is deemed that the client has read, understood, has fully agreed with (and is therefore bound) to our terms of conditions of hire.
If the company is not ready to commence at the agreed start time and it is the company’s fault, the company agrees to operate the hired equipment for the agreed length of hire time. However, if the company is not ready to commence at the agreed hire start time, as setup has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances which are not the fault of the company (I.e. venue’s fault), the hire will still end at the agreed finish time as stated on the booking form/invoice/confirmation e-mail.
In the event that the company has set up on time but the hire does not start at the agreed start time due to the actions of the client or venue, the hire will still end at the agreed hire finish time as stated on the booking form/invoice/confirmation e-mail.
The company cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen circumstances that may stop them from attending your event. These include but are not limited to severe weather conditions, traffic delays, breakdown of company vehicles, sickness, and/or equipment failure. If the company cannot attend or fulfill the client’s hire due to events beyond the company’s control they will contact you or the venue as soon as possible. In these instances, the company will offer a full refund.

Prices, Booking Deposit and Balance.

All hires are subject to a non-refundable booking fee of at least ?100 (depending on the service – deposit fees stated in the service description) when hiring the photo booth and ?20 when hiring additional services described as “additional extras”.
The remaining balance is due in full, before the event start date.
On the event day, if the operative is asked to operate the hired equipment for longer than the agreed time on the booking form, an extra charge will be payable for those additional hours used (if there is no booking straight after the hire). Any not pre-booked hours are charged ?100/h.

Cancellations.

Booking Deposits are non-refundable. Cancellation liability is then as follows:
A) If cancellation occurs between 90-61 days before the event date, the client will lose their booking fee.
B) If cancellation occurs between 60-21 days before the event date, the client is liable to pay 50% of the total payable.
C) If cancellation occurs within 20 days of the event start date, the client is liable to pay 100% of the total payable.
For example, if the total of the booked service is ?200, the customer paid a ?100 Booking Deposit. If the customer will cancel 90-61days before the event, he loses a ?100 deposit, if cancellation is made 60-21 days before the event, the customer loses a ?100 deposit and need to pay ?100 (which makes it 50% of the total payable), if customer cancels 20 or fewer days before the event total of ?200 must be paid (less deposit).
The client should notify of their wish to cancel a booking at the first instance available by telephone. This request should also be followed up in writing (e-mail).
A booking will only be deemed as canceled once the company has sent confirmation of the cancellation in writing (e-mail).

Rescheduling

It is not possible to amend the event date of the booking. Therefore, unless otherwise agreed in writing (e-mail), a client wishing to change their event date from the original booked date shall be treated as a cancellation and shall be subject to our cancellation terms above. The client is then able to make a new booking (subject to availability) and acceptance of the new booking by the company.
The company reserves the right to substitute hired equipment with equipment of a similar type and value without notice in the event of previous damage or loss of booking equipment.
All sizes quoted are approximate.
All hired goods remain the property of the company.
The company reserves the right to amend or alter any product specifications without prior notice.

Please inform the company of any circumstances that would make setting the hired equipment more demanding. This includes going upstairs and long distances. The company allocates a set period of time for setting up the hired equipment which is included within your price, if there are any complications that are not made known to the company beforehand then the time taken will come out of the operating time.

In the event that the company is not ready to commence at the agreed time due to our fault, then we will still give you the agreed hire period by extending the finishing time of the hire. In the event that the hire does not start at the agreed time, as setup has been delayed due to any unforeseen circumstances that are no fault of the photo booth, then the hire will still end as per the agreed time in the booking form or in email.
