Rental and Studio Terms

Last updated: 24/10/2026

These terms apply when you rent gear or book a studio space from Mastermind Creative Company Ltd (“Mastermind CC”, “we”, “us”). By confirming a booking or paying, you (“the renter”) agree to them. If you book for a company, you confirm you can accept them on its behalf.

1. Making a booking

1.1 A request sent from our website or on WhatsApp is not a booking yet. Your booking is confirmed when we confirm availability and receive payment.

1.2 Prices on the website are in Naira (₦). Gear is priced per day and studio spaces per hour. The total on the booking page is an estimate; the confirmed price is the one we send you before you pay.

2. Payment

2.1 Pay 100% of the total in advance to secure your gear or your time slot.

2.2 We accept bank transfer and cash. A booking is only confirmed when the money has reached our account.

3. Gear rentals

Identity and security

3.1 First-time renters must show a valid government-issued photo ID (NIN slip, international passport, driver’s licence or voter’s card) and give a working phone number and address. We may ask for more details, a guarantor or a refundable security deposit for high-value items. We will tell you before you pay.

3.2 We can refuse a rental if we cannot verify your identity.

Rental period

3.3 A rental day runs from pickup until the same time the next day. Pickup and return happen at our studio during opening hours unless we agree delivery in writing.

3.4 Late returns are charged at the daily rate for each extra day or part of a day, unless you ask and we agree an extension before the return time.

Checking and caring for the gear

3.5 Check the gear with us at pickup. Once you leave with it, you agree it was complete and working.

3.6 Use the gear with reasonable care, for its normal purpose, and keep it secure. Do not lend, sublet or take it outside Lagos State without our written consent.

3.7 Do not open, repair or modify any item. Tell us straight away if something stops working; we will try to replace it.

Loss and damage

3.8 You are responsible for the gear from pickup until we check it back in. If an item is lost, stolen or damaged beyond normal wear, you will pay the repair cost or, if it cannot be repaired, the replacement cost of the same or an equivalent item. We will show you the quote or invoice.

3.9 Report theft to the police and to us within 24 hours and give us a copy of the police report.

3.10 Memory cards and drives are wiped when they come back. Copy your footage before you return them; we cannot recover it.

4. Studio bookings

4.1 Our opening hours are 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM on weekends.

4.2 Your booking time starts at your allocated time, whether or not you have arrived. We recommend arriving 30 minutes early.

4.3 Makeup, setup and pack-down are part of the time you book. There is no free makeup or setup time.

4.4 Bookings after 6:00 PM cost an extra ₦5,000 per hour on top of the hourly rate. For example, a ₦15,000 per hour space becomes ₦20,000 per hour after 6:00 PM. Running over your booked time is charged at the same hourly rate, if the space is free.

4.5 Leave the space as you found it. Damage to the space, its furniture, backdrops or included equipment is charged at repair or replacement cost.

4.6 No smoking, open flames, glitter, confetti, paint or animals without our written approval.

5. Rescheduling, cancellation and refunds

5.1 Payments are not refundable once made.

5.2 You can reschedule for free up to 3 days (72 hours) before your confirmed start time. Rescheduling less than 72 hours before your start time costs an extra 50% of your original payment.

5.3 A booking can only be rescheduled once, to a date within 30 days of the original.

5.4 If we have to cancel, for example because gear is faulty or the studio is unavailable, we will offer a new date or a full refund.

6. Our responsibility

6.1 We are not responsible for loss of footage, missed shoots, lost profits or other indirect losses from equipment failure, late pickup or anything outside our reasonable control, such as power cuts, traffic, weather or public holidays. Our total liability for a booking is limited to the amount you paid for it.

6.2 Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under Nigerian law.

7. Content and conduct

7.1 You own what you create in our studio. Please do not record anything illegal, hateful or that infringes someone else’s rights. We may end a session without a refund if this happens.

7.2 We may photograph or film our spaces while you are there for our own marketing, but we will ask before showing you or your project.

8. General

8.1 We use your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.

8.2 These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We will try to settle any dispute by talking first; if that fails, the courts of Lagos State have jurisdiction.

8.3 We may update these terms. The version on this page when you confirm your booking is the one that applies to it.
