1. RATES & INVOICES
The client agrees to pay the following rates outlined for use of the studio's facilities:
$675 CAD Plus HST (13%) for 64 hours of studio access within a month's period.
Or $350 CAD Plus HST (13%) for 32 hours of studio access within a month's period.
Payments can be made with cash, e-transfer, certified cheque, credit card (extra 3% charge), or paypal (extra 3% charge).
Invoices will be sent by the Studio at a reasonable time (About a week prior) for the upcoming month.
Invoice payments are due 48 HOURS PRIOR to the beginning of each month of the term. Any invoice not fulfilled 48 HOURS PRIOR to the 1st of each month may result in access to the studio being blocked to the client. Late payments are charged at 5% of the sum total for each late day, compounding daily.
2. TERMS OF RENTAL
Each term begins at 12 am on a day determined by the Client & Studio, and continues for six months, with the option of extension.
The client pays month to month, and may choose to end the term before six months is concluded, with at least two weeks notice.
This agreement continues on a term to term basis until terminated by either party.
Hours from one month are allowed to be 'carried over' into their next adjacent month, but there is an understanding that the client will use their allotted hours per month whenever possible. Hours may be carried over month to month, but not term to term.
If at the end of a term, there are a substantial amount of extra hours that the client still wishes to use, the client may be required to pay for an additional month of studio rental in which they have to use those hours, as it may interfere with the studio's availability for other paying renters.
The studio will tally up the total hours of use at the end of the client's term - if the total hours allotted for their term is exceeded, the studio may choose to bill at $12 an hour for additional hours of use by the client.
The Client shall make use of the Studio Google Calendar in order to list their hours of booking. The Client will book in windows of time that do not conflict with current bookings visible to the calendar, and will call or text the applicable studio owner/renter if they request a booking be moved to accommodate them. Such requests will not necessarily be fulfilled. The client will not manipulate the Google Calendar to their benefit, IE. reflect their studio use-age dishonestly by putting in fewer hours than were actually used, removing bookings made by other studio users, or anything else that may be reasonably considered unfair or manipulative by the studio owners.
Client sessions rescheduled/reduced in their promised length less than 24 hours prior to the session may still be considered (in full) as part of the client's monthly hours, up to the discretion of the studio owners.
The Client will be provided access to a lock box code or other means in order to receive a key for entering the studio space. A specialty alarm disarming code will be created for the Client that they will be responsible for remembering and implementing upon entry to the studio.
Upon completion of their booking, the Client will turn the alarm back on, lock the studio door, and return the key to the lock box, or directly to the Studio owners.

While the Studio may take reasonable measures to secure its servers, the Studio does not guarantee the security of its Backup Servers and makes no representations or warranties in this regard.
