This Studio Rental Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Studio Shui LLC (“Company,” “Studio Shui,” “we,” or “us”) and the person signing this Agreement (“Renter,” “you,” or “your”).

By signing this Agreement, Renter agrees to the terms and policies below and is responsible for ensuring that all members of their party follow them.

1. PAYMENTS & RESERVATIONS

All reservations require a 50% deposit at the time of booking in order to confirm and hold a reservation. Renter may choose to pay in full at the time of booking.

All reservations must be paid in full prior to the reservation date and time.

By signing this Agreement, Renter authorizes Studio Shui LLC to charge the payment method on file for any applicable damage, cleaning, or overtime/overage charges incurred during the rental.

2. CANCELLATIONS & RESCHEDULING

Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the scheduled rental time will be issued as Studio Shui LLC credit and are not eligible for a cash or card refund.

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled rental time are not eligible for a refund or studio credit, except in circumstances beyond the Renter's reasonable control, such as an act of God or other emergency circumstance. Studio Shui LLC may, at its discretion, offer studio credit or another reasonable resolution in such circumstances.

No-show appointments are charged the full booking fee.

To reschedule a reservation, at least 24 hours' notice is required. Rescheduling is subject to availability.

Studio Shui LLC is not responsible for circumstances outside of its reasonable control that affect a rental, including building or equipment failures, power outages, severe weather, acts of God, or other emergencies.

Studio Shui LLC reserves the right to cancel a booking when necessary. If Studio Shui LLC cancels a booking, any payments made for the cancelled reservation will be refunded, and Studio Shui LLC will have no further liability related to the cancellation.

If an issue cannot reasonably be resolved through rescheduling, please contact us at hello@studioshui.com.

3. LENGTH OF USE & OVERTIME

Rental periods are arranged at the time of booking.

Renter is paying for the full reserved rental period regardless of their actual arrival time. Arriving late does not extend the rental period or reduce the rental fee. For example, if a one-hour rental is booked from 2:00–3:00 PM and Renter arrives at 2:20 PM, the rental still ends at 3:00 PM.

The rental period includes setup and breakdown. The studio must be returned to its original state and vacated by the scheduled end time.

Renter may not remain in the studio beyond the scheduled end time without prior permission from Studio Shui LLC.

Any extension of the rental period is subject to availability and may only be approved if there is no conflicting booking immediately following Renter's scheduled rental period. Permission to stay beyond the scheduled end time is not guaranteed.

If Renter or any member of their party remains in the studio more than 5 minutes past the scheduled end time without approved permission, the booking will be considered overtime and Renter will be charged a $50 overtime fee.

Studio Shui LLC may require Renter and their party to leave the studio at the scheduled end time if another booking or other studio activity is scheduled immediately afterward.

Additional or early rental hours must be arranged and paid for in advance whenever possible.

No equipment, props, personal belongings, or other items may be dropped off or picked up outside of the scheduled rental period unless specifically approved and arranged with Studio Shui LLC in advance.

4. CLEANING & TRASH

Renter must leave the studio, furniture, equipment, and all other items in the same condition and location in which they were found.

Studio Shui LLC will dispose of normal trash placed in the provided trash cans.

Renter is responsible for removing all personal belongings, equipment, props, and other items brought into the studio.

All items left behind, including personal belongings, equipment, props, furniture, or supplies, must be claimed within 10 days of the rental. After 10 days, unclaimed items may be considered abandoned and may be discarded or retained by Studio Shui LLC without compensation to Renter. Renter may also be responsible for applicable storage or disposal fees.

If the studio requires additional cleaning because it was not left in its original condition, Renter will be charged a minimum $50 cleaning fee.

Additional cleaning or damage charges may apply when warranted.

5. DAMAGE & ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Renter is responsible for any damage to the studio, furniture, equipment, fixtures, floors, walls, or other Company property caused by Renter or any member of Renter's party during the rental period.

Damage may include, but is not limited to:

• Spills, stains, or excessive wear

• Damage to furniture

• Damage to floors

• Damage to walls or painted surfaces

• Damage to fixtures

• Damage to studio or equipment

Renter agrees to pay reasonable costs necessary to repair or replace damaged property.

Any applicable damage charges must be paid within 10 business days of notice.

By signing this Agreement, Renter authorizes Studio Shui LLC to charge the payment method on file for applicable damage, cleaning, and overtime charges.

6. WAIVER OF LIABILITY & INDEMNIFICATION

Renter's use of the studio, premises, equipment, furniture, and other Company property is at Renter's own risk.

To the extent permitted by law, Studio Shui LLC is not responsible for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss, damage, injury, theft, or other claim involving Renter, Renter's party, or their personal property arising from use of the premises or equipment.

Renter agrees, to the extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless Studio Shui LLC and its owners, agents, representatives, employees, associates, guests, and tenants from claims, losses, damages, judgments, fines, and reasonable attorney fees arising from Renter's use of the premises or the actions of Renter or Renter's party.

This provision applies to claims arising during the rental period and, where applicable, afterward from events occurring during the rental period.

Renter is responsible for any loss or damage caused by Renter or any member of Renter's party.

7. CONDUCT & RIGHT TO TERMINATE

Studio Shui LLC maintains a professional environment and is a shared studio.

Renter is solely responsible for the conduct and welfare of everyone accompanying them.

A Studio Shui LLC representative may be present during a rental at Studio Shui LLC's discretion.

If a Studio Shui LLC representative observes or becomes aware of disruptive, dangerous, illegal, pornographic, lewd, or negligent activity, Studio Shui LLC may immediately stop the rental and require Renter and their party to leave the premises.

No refund will be provided for unused rental time when a rental is terminated due to a violation of this Agreement.

8. SECURITY CAMERAS & AUDIO RECORDING

For the safety and security of our guests, property, and studio, Studio Shui LLC uses security cameras on the premises that may record both video and audio.

The cameras are not actively monitored in real time and are used for security, safety, and property-protection purposes. By entering and using the studio, Renter acknowledges and consents to the presence of these cameras and the recording of video and audio during their use of the premises.

Security cameras are not located in bathrooms, changing areas, or other areas where individuals would reasonably expect privacy.

Renter is responsible for informing all members of their party, including clients, models, guests, and other participants, of the presence of the security cameras and audio recording before they enter the studio.

9. INSURANCE

Businesses, corporations, production companies, photographers, and other legal entities may be required to provide a certificate of general liability insurance before their rental.

When required, the certificate must name:

Studio Shui LLC
7330 E Main St, Suite F

as an additional insured for the applicable rental dates.

When insurance is required, Renter's liability insurance will be considered primary and non-contributory to the extent permitted by the applicable policy.

Required liability insurance must be Commercial General Liability coverage with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 annual aggregate, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Renter agrees to provide proof of insurance upon request when required by Studio Shui LLC.

10. ARBITRATION

If the parties are unable to resolve a dispute or claim arising from this Agreement, the parties agree, to the extent permitted by law, to submit the dispute to binding arbitration under the applicable commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.

The arbitration will take place in Columbus, Ohio, before one arbitrator selected in accordance with the applicable AAA rules.

Each party will be responsible for its share of arbitration fees as determined under the applicable rules.

If a party fails to participate in arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges an arbitration award, or fails to comply with an arbitration award, the other party may seek any costs or remedies available under applicable law.

Either party may choose not to arbitrate a dispute involving a claim of less than $400.

11. RENTER & PARTY RESPONSIBILITIES

Renter agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and local laws, regulations, ordinances, and building rules.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Studio Shui LLC and Renter regarding the rental.

Any modification to this Agreement must be made in writing and agreed to by both parties.

A waiver of any breach or default under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

The laws of the State of Ohio govern this Agreement.
