Term & Conditions

Effective as of June 17th 2021

This PHOTO BOOTH RENTAL AGREEMENT AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS (this “Agreement”) is made by and between Act1 Photo Booths (the “Company”) and the inquirer of services (the “Client”) relating to any event(s) (the “Event(s)”) booked through the booking forms (the “Booking Forms”) located on the Company’s website (www.act1photobooths.com) or any other related website or page operated by the Company.

YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY.

This Agreement is a contract between you, as the Client or as agent for the Client, and the Company. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the Company and the Client and supersedes all prior and simultaneous contracts or agreements between the parties.

RESERVATIONS, CHANGES, AND CANCELLATIONS

RESERVATION: An electronically submitted Booking Form and a non-refundable deposit are required to reserve the dates and times of the Event(s). If the Event(s) are rescheduled, postponed, or cancelled; or if there is a breach of this Agreement by the Client, the Company shall be entitled to keep the entirety of the Deposit and the Client agrees that it shall have no recourse to recover such Deposit or any portion thereof. The Client shall also be responsible to pay to the Company any amounts that the Company has expended in furtherance of performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement that are incurred up to and including the time that the Company receives the Client’s notice of cancellation.

CHANGE IN EVENT DATE: If subsequent to this Agreement, the Client changes the date of the event with a reasonable period of advance notice of no less than 30 days, the Company will use its reasonable commercial efforts to accommodate the Client and provide services on the changed date. If, after exercise of its reasonable commercial efforts, the Company cannot provide such services or the Company’s personnel, including but not limited to the attendant assigned to the Event, is not available on the changed date of the Event, the Company shall be entitled to keep the deposit and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation under this Agreement except as otherwise stated herein. If the Company is able to accommodate the change to the date of the Event, the Client shall be charged the then-current price for such Event. The Company shall have no obligation to accommodate a change to the Event date with less than 30 days advance notice from the Client.

FEES AND PRICING

SERVICE FEE: The service fee (the “Service Fee”) encompasses only those items included in the list of services located in the invoice sent by the Company to the Client. The Service Fee does not include applicable state sales tax. The Company will be under no duty to perform its obligations under this Agreement until such time as Client has paid the service fee in full.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT: After submitting the Booking Form, the Company shall send an invoice to the Client stating the Service Fee applicable to the Event. The Client is responsible for making a deposit payment, equal to 50% of the Service Fee (the “Deposit”), to the Company within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice. The Company shall have no obligations or liability to perform any services until the Company has received the Deposit. The Client shall be liable for and shall pay the difference between the Deposit and the Service Fee to the Company a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the date of the applicable Event. If the Client is booking an Event with less than thirty (30) days prior to the Event date, the Client shall pay the entire amount of the Service Fee within seven (7) days of the date of the applicable invoice submitted by the Company to the Client for such Event. If the Client is booking an Event with less than seven (7) days prior to the Event date, the Client shall pay the entirety of the Service Fee immediately upon receipt of the applicable invoice for such Event, and in no instance shall the Company perform services prior to the receipt of the entirety of the Service Fee.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENT TERMS. If the Client does not make payment of the Service Fee upon the dates and in the amounts stated herein, the Client agrees that the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, assess a late payment charge in the amount of $150 per month for such late payment. In the event the Client fails to remit payment as specified, the Company shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement with no further obligation, retain any monies already paid, and not attend the Event(s). Returned checks will be assessed a $30 non-sufficient funds fee.

PRICING: Services or merchandise not included in this Agreement will be sold at the current price when the order is placed. All prices are subject to change at any time without notice. If at any point the Company issues credit vouchers or other similar instruments representing credit that the Company will provide to a Client, those instruments shall have no intrinsic cash value, shall be non-transferable, and may only be applied toward specified products or services from the Company.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Following receipt of the Deposit, the Company agrees to reserve the Event date in the Company’s schedule in anticipation of the Client’s Event. If the Client cancels the Event or fails to pay the remaining portion of the Service Fee when due, the Company may not have sufficient time prior to the Event date to offer the Company’s services to a different client, or may need to do so at a reduced cost. As a result, the Client and Company agree that (1) it will be difficult to estimate the total amount of damages to the Company in the event that the Client breaches this Agreement, including but not limited to a failure by the Client to pay the Service Fee when due, and (2) that the amount of the Service Fee is the best estimate of the damages to the Company if the Client were to breach this Agreement. As a result, the Company shall be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of the Service Fee (and entitled to keep any Deposit made as partial payment thereof) in event of a breach of this Agreement by the Client.

EVENT PROVISIONS AND AGREEMENTS

EVENT SCHEDULE: The Client agrees to confirm the schedule of the Event at least two-weeks prior to the date of the Event. Notification of any changes in schedule or location must be made in a timely manner and confirmation of receipt must be obtained from the Company by the Client.

This includes, but is not limited to, any protected intellectual property, such as copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity, or architecture rights, that may appear in the photographs taken by the Company or its equipment (including any such intellectual property present in the background of such photographs based on the location of the Event venue or the venue itself), and the permission necessary to take and disseminate such photographs. The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Company harmless for any breach of this section.

RESELLING: The Client agrees that it shall not charge Event guests or attendees for services rendered by the Company at the Event. The Client must obtain written permission from the Company prior to selling the photographs taken by the Company or charging any individual or entity for the services provided by the Company.
