Safe Operating
The Photobooth is not designed to accommodate more than a maximum of 6 persons safely for an "open booth" and 4 persons for an enclosed booth. The operator has a right to refuse more than the permitted number of persons visiting the booth at any one time in the interest of safety to the public and the safety and security of the equipment. Any variation to this will be entirely at the discretion of the operator, notwithstanding the "fair use policy" for "unlimited prints" upgrades. Food and drink will strictly not be permitted within the Photobooth operating area. Persistent infringement of this rule or any abuse directed towards Story Photobooth’s operators for enforcing this or any other rule designed to ensure safety of the equipment or guests will result in the booth being closed and the hire terminated without recourse for refund of fees. Any persons deemed under the influence of alcohol or exhibiting disruptive or abusive behaviour will not be permitted in the Photobooth area.
​
Idle Hours
Set up time and dismantling time is between 60 -90 minutes. This time not counted as part of your hire period time. Sometimes customers request an earlier set up time or prevent us breaking down and removing the equipment directly after the hire period. Idle hours are the times between set up and the required start time / after the finish time of the booth hire. Idle hours are agreed at commencement of the hire and charged at £25 per hour. Sometimes we will agree with the venue to set up and breakdown outside of these times. If we decide to set up earlier than 60 mins prior to the event or break down and remove equipment at a later time due to our own operational or logistical reasons as agreed with the venue, the booker / customer will not be charged additional idle time outside the hire period agreed price.
Unlimited Prints Fair Use Policy
When purchasing the "unlimited prints" option, the customer agrees to be bound by the Unlimited Prints Fair Use Policy. To prevent abuse of this option, prints will be limited to a maximum of 8 per visit to the booth (up to 7 for guests and one for the album).
