Renter agrees to hold Anthem Studios, its agents or owners, representatives, and anyone acting on behalf of Anthem Studios completely harmless from any responsibility, action, legal or otherwise, that results from Renter’s (or anyone related to the Renter’s party) actions and conduct. Additionally, Renter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Anthem Studios, of any liability or responsibility for Renter’s, or any of the Renter’s associated party, behavior and conduct towards another person at any time while on Anthem Studios’ property or general area of Anthem Studios’ facilities.
2. ACCEPTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY
The Renter hereby accepts and assumes all responsibility for all risks associated with and/or resulting in his/her use of the premises and equipment (THIS INCLUDES ALL PERSONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RENTER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO RELEVANT GUESTS, MODELS, ASSISTANTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, OR FRIENDS). The Renter freely accepts these risks and agrees to the terms of the Release, even if Anthem Studios is found to be negligent or in breach of any duty of care or any obligation to the Renter.
The Renter agrees responsibility for any loss (in the amount solely determined by Anthem Studios ownership) or damage to the studio and/or equipment on premises of the business.

The cardholder is responsible for the entire party that accompanies the cardholder. If the credit card on file is not able to be charged for any reason, you hereby authorize other means of collection.
Cancellations to your reservation made with less than 14 days’ notice are nonrefundable.
Please leave the studio as you found it. If cleaning/re-organizing/adjusting is necessary to return the studio to its original state, a $25.00-100.00 cleaning fee will be reduced from your rental deposit. Smoking is not permitted inside the facility.

Tampering or in any way manipulating security system equipment may result in criminal charges.
