Terms & Conditions

This Agreement represents the entire understanding between the Company and the Client, superseding all prior or simultaneous agreements, whether written or oral.

1. Bookings, Changes, and Cancellations

Bookings

A non-refundable deposit of $150 and an electronically submitted booking form are required to reserve your event date and time. Upon submission, you will receive a confirmation email containing your booking details and selected payment method.

If you do not pay the full rental amount at booking, you must pay:

• The remaining balance within three (3) days, or
• The first installment within seven (7) days of receiving your confirmation email.

If the event is rescheduled, postponed, or canceled — or if the Client breaches this Agreement — the Company will retain the deposit in full. The Client will have no claim to recover the deposit or any portion thereof. The Client is also responsible for any costs the Company has incurred in preparation for the event up to the point of cancellation.

Change in Event Date

If the Client requests to reschedule the event at least seven (7) days prior to the original date through the rescheduling page, the Company will honor the existing payment terms and pricing (unless changed). Once rescheduled, all prior booking details are void.

If the Client cannot find a suitable new date, the Company will retain the deposit but refund any remaining payments. Event changes or cancellations requested less than seven (7) days before the event are not permitted, and the Company will retain all payments made and terminate this Agreement.

2. Fees and Payment Terms

Service Fee

The Service Fee includes only the services listed in the invoice issued by the Company. The Company is not obligated to perform any services until the deposit or first payment has been received.

Deposit and Payment

After submission of the booking form, the Company will send an invoice outlining the total Service Fee and any add-ons.

If the Client selects the "Party Now, Pay Later" option, the first installment is due within three (3) days of receiving the invoice. The Company will not perform services until the first installment or full payment is received.

The Client must pay the balance according to their chosen payment plan:

• Party Now, Pay Later: up to 4 payments over 8 weeks
• Pay in Full: Full balance due no later than clients event start time.

Failure to make the required payment allows the Company to cancel the booking, retain all funds paid, and not attend the event.

5. Service Areas

360 Photo Swirl services only the DMV area — within a 60-mile radius of Washington, D.C. Clients must confirm that their event location falls within this range before booking. Bookings outside this radius will be canceled, and a 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee will be deducted from any refund.

No 30-minute extensions are offered. Unused time will not be refunded.

7. Event Provisions

Event Schedule

Final event details must be confirmed seven (7) days before the event. Any incorrect date, address, or schedule provided by the Client is the Client's sole responsibility.

Venue Limitations

The Company is bound by the rules of the venue. It is the Client's responsibility to coordinate with venue management for necessary permissions.

Damage to Equipment

The Client is liable for any damage, theft, or loss of Company property caused by guests, misuse, or external factors (e.g., weather, power surges). This includes all photo booth equipment, props, and signage.

Disclaimer

The Company is not responsible for issues beyond its control, including weather, obtrusive guests, lighting conditions, or venue restrictions affecting quality or performance.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Company's total liability is limited to the amount of the Service Fee paid. If digital files are lost or destroyed, liability is limited to 50% of the Service Fee. The Company is not responsible for injuries caused by misuse of the booth or reckless guest behavior.

If Company staff become ill or injured, the Company will attempt to provide a replacement or refund all fees if unable to do so.

If guests behave inappropriately or create an unsafe environment, staff may cease operations, and the Client remains responsible for full payment.

If performance is prevented due to illness, accident, acts of God, terrorism, or other uncontrollable events, the Company's liability is limited to a full refund of fees paid.
