DEPOSITS
Parklands Photographic Studio & Location operates a deposit system operating on all bookings.
The deposit fee amounts to 50% of the total booking fee, regardless of the type of booking made.
On completion of the booking form, the booking party will receive an email from bookings@parklandsstudio.com containing the payment details, and notice that on receipt of payment the booking is confirmed. We will hold the booking date for 48 hours.No booking is confirmed until receipt of the deposit.
Failure to inform the studio that you will not be attending a booking (a 'no show') is unacceptable and compromises the viability of the studio. As such, in all cases of a 'no show', the studio will request 100% of the total booking fee. Failure to pay will result in a permanent ban.
In respect of an independent booking, a deposit can be can be ‘floated’ to a rearranged date at the time of cancellation. The rearranged booking must be of the same duration as the original booking, and occur within two weeks of the original booking date.
However, if a cancellation occurs within 48 hours of booking date, 100% of the total booking fee is due.
