Terms.

Who we are

These terms apply to Linkeno Corp dba Seven Film Studios, operating from 120 S Victory Blvd, 1st Floor, Burbank, CA 91502 — “the studio”, “we”, or “us” below. Booking a studio, registering for a course, or joining a waitlist means you accept them.

You accept them on behalf of yourself and everyone you bring on site: your crew, cast, clients, contractors, and guests. You confirm you are 18 or over and able to agree on their behalf.

Studio bookings

Booking units

Studios are booked by the half day (four hours, morning or afternoon), the full day (eight hours), or the week (7 consecutive days from any start date). Slot times are shown at checkout.

Payment

A 50% deposit is taken at booking; the balance is due at the studio on arrival, before the session begins. Bookings require at least 24 hours’ notice, and dates are not held until the deposit has been paid.

Cancellation

Cancellation terms are set out in full on our cancellation and refunds page. In short: cancel at least 48 hours before the start and the deposit is refunded; inside that window it is not.

Before you can shoot

Two things have to be done before we hand over a stage.

• The release. We email you our liability waiver to sign ahead of your booking, using the link that came with your confirmation. It has to be signed before the session begins, and it governs anything it covers that these terms also touch.
• ID. Staff check photo ID at reception when keys or equipment change hands. We record the kind of document, the last four characters of its number, and the name on it. We do not photograph or scan it. What we keep, and for how long, is in the privacy policy.

Using the premises

• Access is limited to the room and hours you have booked. Load-in and wrap happen within your booked time, not either side of it.
• Leave the space as you found it. Sets you build, you strike. Additional cleaning or removal may be charged.
• Follow the studio’s rules and the instructions of studio staff — rigging and load limits, electrical loads, work at height, maximum occupancy, and load-in and load-out times.
• Naked flame, pyrotechnics, smoke and haze, firearms or weapons of any kind, and animals all need our written agreement in advance. No smoking indoors.
• Nobody may be on the premises impaired by alcohol or drugs to the point of being a risk.
• You are responsible for your crew, your talent, and anyone you bring on site, including their conduct and their safety.
• We may stop work, and require any person or your whole production to leave, if in our reasonable judgment there is a risk to safety, to the premises, or to equipment, or if these rules are broken. No refund is due if we do.

The premises are for people aged 18 and over unless we have agreed otherwise in writing beforehand. Where we have, you must tell us in advance who under 18 will be present, have a parent or legal guardian present or consenting in writing, put in place any studio teacher or permit California law requires, and supervise them throughout.

Equipment

Equipment is hired only as part of a studio booking and stays on the premises. It is your responsibility from the moment it is issued until it is returned, and you are liable for loss or damage beyond fair wear and tear. Report faults immediately rather than working around them.

Equipment is subject to availability. If an item becomes unavailable through damage or a cause outside our control, we will offer a substitute where we can, or refund that part of the booking. That is the extent of our obligation.

Damage

We inspect the stage and the equipment after every booking. If we find damage, you get a written report with photographs, and the amount we intend to charge.

Charges will not exceed the reasonable cost of repair or, where repair is not economic, replacement with an item of equivalent age and condition. Damage is not always obvious on the day, so we may raise a charge after a booking has closed — with the same report and the same evidence. If you disagree with one, tell us and we will look again.

Courses

Course fees are paid in full — by card when you register, or by Zelle — and secure one place.

Each course shows a date to cancel by for a full refund. That date is when we judge whether the course has enough registrations to run, so it is also when we commit to the instructor — after it, the fee is not refundable in cash. A registration made after that date carries 24 hours in which you may cancel for a full refund — counted, for a Zelle payment, from when we confirm it arrived — and no later than the start of the course.

After the refund date

You are not left with nothing. Two things are available from the link in your confirmation email:

• Transfer your place. Give us the name, email address and telephone number of whoever is taking it, and the place becomes theirs. Your seat is not released at any point, so there is no risk of losing it while you arrange this. By transferring you confirm that person has agreed to it and to your giving us their details.
• Take a credit. We release your seat and issue you a code worth what you paid, valid for twelve months against any course or studio booking. A credit is tied to the email address it was issued to and cannot be exchanged for cash. If you spend it on something costing less, we issue a further code for the difference, carrying the same expiry date as the original.

A released seat goes back on sale and may be sold to somebody else. That is the trade for keeping the value of your place when the deadline has passed and we have already committed to running the course.

None of this limits what we may choose to do. If you think your circumstances warrant a refund, tell us — we would rather hear from you than have you stuck with a rule.

Paying another way

Places are paid for on the website, by card or by Zelle. By arrangement we also take cash and bank transfer, and will invoice a company that requires it. A place held against an unpaid invoice is confirmed and counts toward the course minimum; the fee remains due whether or not you attend. Money taken by any method other than card is returned the same way rather than through the website.

Zelle payments are made to Renacy Corp., the billing entity that collects payments on the studio’s behalf. Paying Renacy Corp. for a place is paying us. When you choose Zelle, your place is confirmed only once we confirm your payment has arrived. Seats are not held while we wait, so if the course is full by then we return your payment in full. Put the reference we give you in the memo, so we can match the payment to you.

Courses need a minimum number of registrations to run. Where a course has not reached its minimum by the cut-off shown on its page, we cancel it and refund everyone in full. We will email you as soon as that happens rather than leaving you to find out.

If we need to change dates, an instructor, or a location, we will tell you as soon as we can, and you may cancel for a full refund if the change does not suit you. Joining a waitlist is free and creates no obligation on either side until a place is offered and accepted.

Insurance

You must hold commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than USD 1,000,000 per occurrence and USD 2,000,000 in the aggregate, covering bodily injury and property damage, for the duration of your booking.

We must be named as an additional insured, and the policy must include a waiver of subrogation in our favor. You must provide a certificate of insurance evidencing this before your booking begins; we may refuse access without one.

If you hire equipment, your policy must also cover loss of or damage to hired-in equipment to its full replacement value. Holding insurance does not limit your obligations under these terms, and a refusal of cover under your policy does not relieve you of them. We do not insure your production, your crew, or your own equipment.

Liability

We take reasonable care to keep the premises and equipment safe and working. To the fullest extent permitted by California law, our total liability arising out of or relating to a booking is limited to the amount you paid for it, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses — including lost production time, wasted costs, lost footage or data, or lost profit.

None of that applies to gross negligence, recklessness, willful or wanton misconduct, fraud, or violation of law on our part, or to anything that cannot lawfully be limited under California Civil Code section 1668 or otherwise. Nothing here affects any right you may have under workers’ compensation law.

Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the studio, its owners, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and the owner of the premises against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fines, and costs — including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of defense — brought by any third party, including members of your own crew, cast, clients, and guests, arising out of your production, your use of the premises or equipment, or your breach of these terms. This does not extend to claims arising from our own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Your material

Everything you shoot is yours. We claim no rights over your footage. We will not use recognizable material from your production in our own marketing without asking you first.

The website

Prices, availability, and course details are kept as accurate as we can make them, but errors happen. If something is listed at an obviously wrong price we will contact you rather than simply take payment.

Events outside reasonable control

Neither of us is liable for failing to perform because of something outside our reasonable control — fire, flood, earthquake, power failure, strike, civil disturbance, public health order, or act of government. If we cannot provide the premises for such a reason, we refund the fees paid for the affected dates, and that is the extent of our liability.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of the State of California. You and we submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Los Angeles County, California. In any proceeding arising out of these terms, the prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

General

You may not assign these terms, or sublet or share the premises or equipment, without our written consent. If any provision is held unenforceable it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest continues in full force. Failing to enforce something does not waive it.

These terms, together with your booking confirmation, the signed waiver, the cancellation and refunds page, and the privacy policy, are the entire agreement between us about your use of the premises and equipment.

Changes

We may update these terms. The version in force is the one published when you booked, and the date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
