AFTER HOURS ACCESS POLICY

After hours access is only available to active members holding a PRODUCER membership, and who have demonstrated an ability to handle themselves independently. Access is granted at the discretion of the Equipment Coordinator. Edit Suites must be PRE-PAID and PRE-BOOKED prior to use. The member must sign an After Hours Agreement form before access is granted and any member found reporting false useage hours will be given one warning. A second infraction will result in revocation of media and priveliges.

The applicant must leave a signed cheque in the amount of $50 before keys and code will be given.

After Hours Access is granted on a project by project basis, and keys and code are to be returned once the producers project is complete. If keys and code are not returned WITHIN TWO WEEKS of the completion of the producer's project, we will cash your deposit.

Unless other arrangements are made, the only areas of access are the edit suites and hallway from the back door to the kitchen.

In the event of a false alarm, immediately call the alarm company using the Omni security ID# and register the false alarm.

Any costs incurred by VIVO Media Arts Centre due to false alarms caused by user negligence will be charged to the Member signing the After Hours Access Agreement. The minimum charge for a false alarm is $50.

Technical support is NOT available after hours unless previous arrangements have been made.

If there are unsolvable technical problems, shut down the systems immediately, or you will be charged for the time in the suite. VIVO offers a discount for time in suites when there is equipment failure, not when there is user error. During after hours it is difficult to assess the situation.

The member signing After Hours Access agreement is responsible for any damage or costs incurred as a result of their negligence.

Before setting the alarm, users are responsible for ensuring all doors and windows are closed and locked for the areas they have accessed, including the areas they are arming. Users must ensure alarm is armed before exiting.

After Hours Access can be withdrawn if the Member does not show respect and a sense of responsibility for equipment and VIVO facilities.

After Hours Access is on a first come, first served basis, except where Artists in Residence are concerned. An Artist in Residence will be given priority for After Hours Access.

Producers with Staff Access or Work Exchange privilages should pay cash for VIVO facilities when funding is available. Members are encouraged to make an effort to secure cash funding for VIVO services when applying for grants.
