2. Acceptance of Terms

By booking or using Buena Vista Studio, the renter confirms that they have reviewed and agreed to these Terms & Conditions, applicable booking policies, and the Studio Guide. The individual completing the reservation is considered the primary renter and is responsible for ensuring that all clients, guests, vendors, assistants, and other individuals associated with the reservation comply with applicable studio policies. Certain services, including memberships, workshops, events, partnerships, promotions, or specialty rentals, may be governed by additional agreements or policies. When a separate written agreement applies to a service, the separate agreement will control regarding any conflicting terms specific to that service.

3. Official Booking Channels

Valid reservations must be made directly through Buena Vista Studio or an official booking platform or link authorized by Buena Vista Studio. Official channels include: Website: buenavistastudiosa.com
Instagram: @WelcometoTheBuenaLife Reservations, payments, communications, or arrangements made through prior studio operators, unrelated individuals, businesses, or unauthorized platforms are not considered valid Buena Vista Studio reservations. Renters are responsible for confirming that their reservation has been completed through an authorized Buena Vista Studio booking channel.

4. Website Use

The Buena Vista Studio website is provided for information, booking, membership, communication, community programming, and related business purposes. Users agree not to misuse the website, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, submit fraudulent information, impersonate another person or business, or use the website for unlawful purposes. We make reasonable efforts to keep information regarding pricing, availability, studio features, policies, and services accurate. However, information may be updated as the studio evolves, and availability is subject to change.

5. Reservations and Payments

A reservation is not confirmed until the required booking process and payment have been successfully completed. Studio availability is not guaranteed until confirmation is issued. Pricing, rental options, promotional offers, and included amenities may vary. The terms and pricing presented at the time of booking apply to that reservation unless otherwise agreed in writing. All studio rental payments are non-refundable except where expressly stated otherwise in these Terms or required by applicable law.

6. Cancellation, Rescheduling, and Studio Credits

Studio rental payments reserve exclusive access to the studio during the selected reservation period and are therefore non-refundable. Requests made more than 72 hours before the scheduled reservation may be rescheduled to another available date or time, subject to availability. Requests made between 24 and 72 hours before the scheduled reservation will receive a studio credit that may be applied toward a future eligible booking. Requests made less than 24 hours before the scheduled reservation, as well as no-shows, are not eligible for a refund, reschedule, or studio credit. To request a reschedule or eligible studio credit, contact: hello@buenavistastudiosa.com Studio credits have no cash value and may not be redeemed for cash. Any expiration dates, restrictions, or promotional conditions associated with a particular credit will be communicated when the credit is issued.

7. Rental Period, Late Arrivals, and Overtime

The reserved booking period includes setup, session time, breakdown, cleanup, and studio reset. Arriving late does not extend the reservation. The booking will end at the originally scheduled time, and unused time resulting from late arrival will not be refunded or credited. Renters, clients, guests, vendors, equipment, and personal belongings must be fully removed from the studio by the scheduled end time. Additional studio time may be added when available but is not guaranteed. Any approved additional time will be charged according to the studio's current rental rates. If the renter or any member of their party remains in the studio beyond the scheduled reservation period without approved additional time, overtime will be charged at the studio's current hourly rental rate in 30-minute increments. If an overage delays, disrupts, or otherwise impacts a subsequent reservation or studio operations, additional reasonable charges may apply. Repeated disregard for reservation end times may result in restriction or loss of future booking privileges.

8. Studio Access and Building Access

Access to Buena Vista Studio is provided solely for the renter's authorized reservation period or according to separate membership access terms. Access codes, entry instructions, keys, credentials, or other access methods provided by Buena Vista Studio are intended only for authorized use and may not be shared, duplicated, transferred, published, or provided to unauthorized individuals.
