  • We reserve the right to refuse any booking we deem a security risk, or to be of an inappropriate nature according to the aims of the Society.
  • Bookings need to be made at least three weeks in advance.
  • The facility is not considered booked until a security deposit is paid and the Studio Rental Contract signed.
  • Security deposit will be refunded within two weeks after the event. In case of facility damage, security deposit will be used to cover the cost.
  • Rental fee must be paid at least two weeks prior to the event. Failure to do so will result in a loss of security deposit and the booking itself.
  • Cancellation of a booking will result in a loss of security deposit. If the cancellation is made later than two weeks before the booking date, a fine of $100 will be charged as well.
  • VIVO is not responsible for loss, theft or damage.
  • The Renter is responsible for ensuring the facilities are returned to the same condition they were found in, which also involves clean-up and removal
    of all garbage. Renters who don't wish to clean themselves have an option of arranging the cleaning through VIVO for a fee. The arrangement must be made in advance upon signing the contract.
  • The set-up and tear down of your event, as well as the clean-up, must occur within the hours of your booking. Should you go beyond the specified
