Membership Terms & Conditions

These Membership Terms & Conditions govern all memberships purchased from Casameza Studios Inc. (“Casameza”). By purchasing, activating or using a membership, the Member agrees to comply with these Terms, the Casameza Studio Rules and any additional policies communicated by Casameza.

1. Membership Activation

Memberships are subject to approval by Casameza and become effective immediately once approved and payment has been successfully processed.

The Member’s billing cycle and monthly hour allocation begin on the activation date.

Access instructions, including applicable lockbox or entry codes, are communicated after the membership has been approved and activated.

2. Minimum Term

All memberships are subject to a minimum initial commitment of three (3) months.

A Member who chooses to cancel before completing the initial three-month term will be charged a $250 early cancellation fee.

After the initial three-month commitment, the membership may be cancelled before the next billing date and will remain active until the end of the current paid billing cycle.

Membership fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.

3. Monthly Hours

Each membership includes the number of studio hours specified in the selected plan.

Hours refresh at the beginning of each monthly billing cycle and do not roll over from one month to the next.

Unused hours have no cash value and cannot be exchanged, refunded, sold or transferred.

Additional hours may be booked separately at the applicable rate.

4. Booking & Availability

Membership hours may only be used for times shown as available in the Casameza booking calendar.

Members receive priority access to the member booking calendar; however, membership does not guarantee availability for any specific date, time, room or set.

A booking is only confirmed once it appears as confirmed through Casameza’s booking system.

24/7 access does not mean unlimited walk-in access. Members may access the studio at any time of day only during a confirmed booking.

5. Booking Cancellations & No-Shows

A confirmed membership booking may be cancelled or rescheduled at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time without losing the booked hours.

Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the booking will result in the booked hours being deducted from the Member’s monthly balance.

No-shows will result in the full booked time being deducted.

If Casameza cancels a confirmed booking, the affected hours will be returned to the Member’s balance.

6. Access to Collections, Sets & Furniture

Memberships include access to Casameza’s available collections and the standard furniture and décor associated with each respective set.

Members may use the existing space as presented, but significant changes to a set require prior approval.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Major furniture rearrangements
  • Moving furniture or décor between sets
  • Set flips or alternate configurations
  • Removal of permanent or semi-permanent elements
  • Painting or modifying surfaces
  • Installation of custom elements
  • Custom set builds
  • Additional production design

Additional set changes, labour or production design may be subject to additional fees.

Casameza’s spaces are continuously evolving. Sets, furniture, décor and layouts may be modified, replaced or updated over time, and Casameza does not guarantee that a space will remain identical to previous photographs.

7. Production Equipment

Studio membership does not automatically include unrestricted access to Casameza’s production equipment.

Lighting, grip equipment, audiovisual equipment, tools and other production equipment may not be used without prior approval or consent from Casameza’s Production Manager.

Certain equipment may require an additional rental fee.

Unauthorized use of equipment may result in additional charges, suspension of studio access or termination of the membership.

8. Access Codes & Studio Security

Access codes, lockbox combinations and other entry information are confidential and may only be used by the authorized Member.

Members may not share access codes with clients, guests, crew members or any other third party.

When leaving the studio, Members are responsible for ensuring that doors are properly secured, lights and approved equipment are turned off and the space is left according to Casameza’s closing procedures.

Unauthorized entry or sharing of access credentials may result in immediate suspension or termination of the membership.

9. Personal & Non-Transferable Membership

Each membership is assigned to one named Member or approved primary user.

Memberships may not be:

  • Shared between multiple independent creatives
  • Transferred to another person
  • Resold
  • Subleased
  • Used to resell studio hours to third parties

Businesses or organizations purchasing a membership must designate an approved primary account holder unless otherwise agreed to by Casameza in writing.

10. Guest Pass

Where included in the selected plan, a Guest Pass allows an approved person to use the Member’s membership hours without the Member being physically present.

The guest must be registered or approved by Casameza before accessing the studio and must follow all Casameza rules.

The Member remains responsible for the guest’s use of the studio, including any damage, additional cleaning or rule violations caused during the booking.

Guest Passes refresh according to the allowance included with the Member’s plan and cannot be accumulated, transferred or sold.

11. Guests, Clients, Talent & Crew

Members may bring clients, talent, crew members or other participants to a confirmed booking when appropriate for the project.

All attendees remain subject to Casameza’s occupancy limits, safety requirements and Studio Rules.

Casameza may require advance approval for additional guests, larger groups or activities that may affect the studio, building or surrounding tenants.

Bringing another person into the studio does not give that person independent membership access.

12. 24/7 Access

Membership plans that include 24/7 access allow Members to book available studio hours outside normal operating hours.

24/7 access does not permit Members or guests to:

  • Sleep or stay overnight at the studio

Casameza strongly recommends that Members maintain appropriate production, commercial general liability or other insurance suitable for their activities.

Casameza may require proof of insurance for certain productions, larger groups or higher-risk activities.
