Paint and Decorate
 

Unless otherwise agreed, a compulsory £1,000 deposit is required for paint and/ or decorate to be paid prior to commencement of the shoot. Prior permission is required from any client wishing to paint and/ or decorate a location, notification of this should be made a minimum of 7 days prior to commencement of the shoot. After completion of the shoot any changes that have been made should be rectified by a professional decorator to a satisfactory standard. Whether a location has been rectified to a satisfactory standard will be decided by the location owner and confirmed by Snapshot Locations. In the event that the location is not returned to a satisfactory standard, the licensee will be liable to cover the cost of rectification, this may involve the location owner employing their own contractors to rectify the issue. We reserve the right to use the deposit and bill for excess costs incurred in order to pay for redecorating, if the reinstatement isn’t done to a satisfactory standard. We strongly recommend photographing any areas to be decorated for your shoot prior to making any changes, so that there is a reference if any disputes arise.
 

Non UK-Based Companies
 

Companies that are registered outside of the UK will be subject to pay a deposit proportionate to the value of the booking, to be calculated by Snapshot Locations, and will be required to be on Prepay terms.
 

COVID-19

In light of the current COVID-19 situation, it has been necessary to introduce a selection of additions to our booking forms.

The person, client or company booking or responsible for the shoot agrees to adhere to the following :-

· To provide PPE and hand sanitiser for all cast and crew members. It is compulsory for the team to wear a face covering when entering and exiting the property and with any interaction with the Homeowner or Location Manager. In line with current Government Guidelines a face covering should be worn at all times when inside the house, the only exemptions being a model on set, or when eating/drinking.

· Follow current Government guidelines and adhere to social distancing where possible.

· Stagger call times with crew arriving at locations at different times where possible.

· Avoid public transport where possible, for crew members who prefer to drive we will do our best to arrange parking permits with the location owners if they are available. Please note parking in London is very limited so we cannot guarantee parking spaces.

· Reduce crews to only essential crew members

· Provide a call sheet & a copy of the crew’s COVID-19 procedures to send to the location owner prior to commencement of the shoot.

· The location owner is responsible for the pre-shoot clean, the client is responsible for the post shoot clean. This includes wiping down surfaces and doorhandles with antibacterial spray/wipes, removing all rubbish (note most owners do not allow the use of their household bins for shoot waste, all shoot waste should be removed at the end of each day). If the location is not left in the appropriate condition you may incur additional cleaning fee’s. If you would rather the location provide the post shoot clean please enquire beforehand for a cleaning quote.
 

The person, client or company booking or responsible for the shoot should keep regular contact with Snapshot Locations and notify us immediately if any of the crew are feeling unwell and are displaying any symptoms both before and after the shoot. In the instance of a crew member being unwell prior to the shoot, said crew member should not attend the shoot. If the shoot cannot go ahead without them, Snapshot Locations will cancel the shoot without charge.

It is the responsibility of the person, client or company booking to ensure all crew are legally allowed to work in the United Kingdom. This includes but is not limited to current Travel Restrictions including Countries where there is a requirement to self-isolate for 14 days on entry. If the crew/cast member in question has an exemption a certificate will be required to evidence this.

If a member of the Location Owner’s household is unwell, we will do our best to arrange a safe key drop to provide access where the space is vacant. In the event this is not possible or if the property cannot be let vacant, we may need to postpone your shoot or find you an alternative location. In the event that your location is cancelled at the last minute due to COVID-19, Snapshot Locations cannot take responsibility for additional fees incurred if you choose to relocate to a location at a higher price point or other costs involved including accommodation and transportation.

Given the Government’s stated desire to restart the economy as soon as possible and statements related to people being able to resume work where necessary, it seems logical that shoots should be able to go ahead once more, however, it is solely the decision of the person, client or company booking or responsible for the shoot to make the decision to go ahead with a booking and by doing so you accept complete responsibility for your decision.

While we will do everything in our power to ensure that your booking goes ahead unhindered, Snapshot Locations cannot accept any liability for any problems occurring prior to or during the course of your shoot which may result in you not being able to complete your planned work. This includes but is not limited to a member of your crew, the location owner’s family or the person(s) responsible for managing or giving you entry to your chosen location becoming ill prior to or during the course of your shoot, or complaints from a property’s neighbours resulting in the interruption or termination of your shoot.
