1.GENERAL TERMS
For the purposes of this document, the term CLIENT is taken to mean the company or individual who books the facilities, plus any agents, colleagues, audience, clients, freelancers, friends, staff and assistants who are employed by, working with or otherwise present at the studio by the invitation of the CLIENT. It does NOT include freelancers or staff contracted by CELEBRO, but includes any freelancers who are hired at the CLIENT’s request through CELEBRO.
On booking CELEBRO for the purposes of filming, photography, performance, live broadcasting or playout, the CLIENT accepts that they are satisfied with the facilities and that they have deemed them suitable for the purposes of the hire. They will have returned a signed booking form or agreement outlining terms of use of the facility or live broadcast.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between CELEBRO and the CLIENT and shall apply to the exclusion of any other representation, whether express or implied, written or oral made by or on behalf of CELEBRO.
In these terms, unless notified to the contrary in writing, CELEBRO shall be entitled to rely on instructions given to it by any third party purportedly on the Client’s behalf.

For the purposes of this Agreement, Intellectual Property Rights means any and all intellectual property rights in any and all media whether or not registered or capable of registration including, without limitation, copyright (existing as at the date of this Agreement or arising any time thereafter), patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, domain names, design rights, database rights, know-how and any applications for the protection or registration of these rights and the right to make such applications. For the avoidance of doubt, CELEBRO acknowledges that the CLIENT is the sole producer of any and all content produced as a result of using CELEBRO’s live links, field studios, main studios and or any other Celebro Facilities or facilities contracted on the Clients behalf.
The CLIENT grants to CELEBRO a non-exclusive licence to edit, adapt, reproduce, receive, store, transmit or otherwise process or use in any way whatsoever the CLIENT’s materials for the purpose of providing the services, and to refer to the Client and the title of the relevant Client project in CELEBRO‘s advertising and/or promotions.
The CLIENT also hereby grants CELEBRO the limited right to exhibit CLIENT materials, or excerpts thereof, on CELEBRO websites, social media, in press releases, or in “demo reels” for the limited purpose of demonstration of CELEBRO‘s work in accordance with standard industry practice. The Client shall ensure that CELEBRO is given screen credits in respect of the services in a form approved in advance by CELEBRO.
3.ORDERS, QUOTATIONS, PRICING AND PAYMENT
All orders shall be placed using the CLIENT’S authorized Purchase Order and no order will be binding on CELEBRO unless or until such order has been accepted in writing. Verbal orders may be accepted at CELEBRO’S discretion. Once accepted, an order may not be cancelled other than with CELEBRO’S written consent and will be subject to these terms.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, a quotation is valid for 30 days only from when it was issued.
Verbal confirmation is not an accepted booking confirmation method. The booking is only confirmed once the CLIENT has e-signed the Booking Form, paid the required deposit, and been issued with a Booking Confirmation.
We appreciate that some companies have different payment terms – but we cannot accept firm bookings without a deposit being paid. Your booking will remain a pencil until a deposit is paid and is therefore at risk of being lost.
The CLIENT is required to provide all information related to the booking as requested in the Booking Form which will be sent to the CLIENT for e-signature before the booking. Celebro will issue a Booking Confirmation after receipt of the signed Booking form and payment of the required deposit.
All work will be done at CELEBRO’s relevant rate card, unless a written quotation has been agreed/a completed booking form signed. Where estimates are given, they shall not be binding. All prices are subject to VAT, Sales Tax, or other applicable taxes, payable by the CLIENT at the appropriate rate.
Unless agreed in writing, the CLIENT should pay 100% of the estimated fees on acceptance of the order and the final balance on delivery or the last day of the service provided, to allow for release of rushes etc.
In some cases a discounted rate may be offered. In order to enjoy the advantage of the discount – payment must be made in FULL. Failure to make payment in advance may negate the deposit offered and the rate will revert to standard rate.
EXISTING CLIENTS are required to pay 50% of total estimated fees upon signature of the booking form with the remaining balance due 14 days after the booking. Any additional costs will be submitted in a separate invoice after the event.
Payment for the booking should be made in advance if requested by CELEBRO. This decision remains at the discretion of CELEBRO management.
Special Events will be subject to different payment terms.
By proceeding with the booking, the CLIENT agrees to the current Terms and Conditions.
CELEBRO reserve the right to add, amend, or change any clause in the Terms and Conditions at any time.
CELEBRO accepts payment by BACS, credit card, debit card or cash, subject to legal safeguards.
Card payments attract a surcharge of 2.5% if in the UK, and 4% in the US.
If any sum payable by the Client is not be paid by the due date for payment, CELEBRO shall be entitled to:
halt the provision of services;
charge interest on all outstanding sums at the rate of 6% per annum above the base rate of National Westminster Bank plc from the due date until the date of payment, payable on demand;
withdraw any applicable discounts and to charge the full amount in accordance with the current rate card; and
vary any credit limit going forward.

7. Cancellations around news events or special events will attract a 100% cancellation fee, Clients will be informed in advance if their booking is classed as a special news event
5.STUDIO AND OFFICE FACILITIES
Please adhere to our HOUSE RULES at all times. A CELEBRO representative will be usually on hand during the CLIENT’s booking to ensure that the space is used effectively and safely. The role of the CELEBRO representative is to assist the CLIENT in optimizing the space and to ensure no damage occurs to the premises and that health and safety is adhered to by the CLIENT. The Representative cannot be used as a runner, nor for the purpose of producing/directing the CLIENT’s product.
It is the responsibility of the CLIENT to specify formats for recording or live delivery IN ADVANCE. Any media generated should be checked by the CLIENT BEFORE RECORDING OR TRANSMISSION to ensure correct frame-rate, aspect ratio, sound sampling, format etc. No assumptions should be made as every programme is different. In specific relation to sound sync, it is normal in a multi-camera production to have a sync drift between sound and pictures (this is a operational feature that allows cameras to reference sync with each other). Typical range of sync drift is between 2 and 5 frames and is within tolerance for broadcasting within European Broadcasting Union guidelines for TV transmission. However sync can be corrected in one of three ways
1: By introducing a delay into the recording
2: To correct in post production
3: To introduce a delay into the live stream
It is for the client to specify their preferences. Please be aware Celebro cannot be held accountable for sync drift in streaming platforms such as You Tube or Facebook. Such platforms can and do introduce audio sync issues.
The CLIENT should provide a PC-formatted drive to allow Celebro to copy material for taking away. We CANNOT put files onto a Mac-formatted drive (unless specifically requested and tested in advance, and subject to additional charge).
The studio hire hours start from the time the hirer enters the studio or the agreed start of the booking time.
The studio must be left in the condition that it was found. Unless other arrangements have been agreed in advance, any props/set or large items that need to be disposed of must be removed from the site by the CLIENT, and the studio must be generally cleaned by the CLIENT.
The CLIENT agrees to compensate CELEBRO for loss, damage or distress to equipment, facilities, or to the fabric of CELEBRO, if caused by the CLIENT.
CELEBRO cannot under any circumstances be held responsible for fines incurred by the CLIENT or visitors who park their vehicles in contravention of prevailing traffic laws.
Smoking/Vaping (E-Cigarettes) is not permitted anywhere within the studio premises.
CELEBRO is covered by employer’s liability insurance and public liability insurance covering its staff and equipment. The CLIENT is responsible for its own event and public liability insurance.
Tea and Coffee are provided free of charge on a self-service basis. Food and drinks are not permitted in the gallery, studio or control rooms, and CELEBRO does not provide catering (unless specifically agreed in advance, and subject to additional charge).
If the CLIENT has props or equipment delivered to the studio, this needs to be arranged with CELEBRO to allow for the booking of lifts etc. Every delivery should be agreed and confirmed by Celebro as part of the booking confirmation process. Any heavy or oversized item must be delivered by specialists. If in doubt, please ask.
Rigging of heavy set/overhead elements will require a separate risk-assessment, will have to be performed by appropriate staff, and will be subject to additional charges.
There are occupancy limits in all parts of our facilities. Please make sure you book the spaces according to the number of attendees at your event.
A standard booking day is 8 hours (unless booked as a half day). Half days are generally bookable as mornings (approx.) 0900-1300 or 1400-1800. Crew will require a one hour break for lunch. These timings include rigging and derigging.
OVERTIME
The CLIENT will be required to pay overtime for any staff who are on site above the standard 8-hour full day bookings. We always try to accommodate overtime requests (a standard booking is 8 hours). In order for us to plan staff time – we charge different rates for planned and unplanned overtime.
Planned Overtime: Pro-rata as a percentage of the booking rate (so 12 hours is the price of 8 hours divided by 8 and then multiplied by 12)
Unplanned Overtime: Pro-rata plus 25% in the UK Pro-rata plus 50% in the USA
For clarity – ‘unplanned’ means less than 24 hours notice.
Overtime may not be possible due to other bookings or time worked by staff on any given day.
In the event that crew have a call time the following day – any overtime is limited to that which allows an 11 hour rest periods. We may have to refuse overtime if staff are unable to take their mandatory rest period or if they have already worked too many hours.
7.BOOKING
By proceeding with the booking you agree:
To abide by the T&Cs and the payment terms.
Only the requested and confirmed facilities and equipment, as per the Booking Form, are to be included in the studio hire.
Only the specified equipment and personnel (crew, cast, production, and audience) are allowed on the premises, as per the Booking Form.
8.STUDIO MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL
CELEBRO presumes that anyone operating its equipment is qualified and competent to use it. If the crew is provided by the CLIENT, it is the CLIENT’s responsibility to predetermine that all THEIR crew members are capable and qualified for the job they are doing. The CLIENT will be held liable for any misuse or damages incurred.
CELEBRO is liable for the safety of its own electrical equipment.
CELEBRO is not liable for any equipment failure and/or delays due to any electrical or mechanical fault.
The CLIENT should ensure that all electric equipment they bring to the studio is safety and PAT-tested.
CELEBRO can provide electrical consumables to the CLIENT at a separate charge. The CLIENT may bring their own consumables if preferred.
Power cuts from external sources are not deemed to be the responsibility of CELEBRO; the studio will not be held liable for any losses incurred as a result of power cuts or other electrical failures.
9.HEALTH & SAFETY
Whilst in Celebro facilities, the CLIENT is responsible for their own (and third parties’ employed through them) insurance cover against theft, loss or damage to their own equipment. CELEBRO will not be held liable for any claims whatsoever made by the CLIENT.
The CLIENT is responsible and liable for their own insurance to cover personal injury to crew and cast, plus liability to any third parties involved.

In the event of injury, CELEBRO provides a First Aid Kit. However, the studio may be unable to provide First Aid qualified personnel.
In the event of a fire alarm or evacuation of a Celebro building, the CLIENT must leave the building until an all clear has been given. Fire regulations are posted at various points through the facilities.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES is the use of inflammable liquids and of pyrotechnics allowed at CELEBRO. A smoke machine can be allowed subject to special permission and fire alarm deactivation and reactivation charge. This must be agreed in writing before booking.
10. BREAKS
We prefer our crew to be given 1 hour for lunch but the legal minimum means our staff crew require at least 30 minutes to eat lunch. This MUST be factored into call-sheets and production plans. If your booking is over 10 hours – you will also need to factor in a dinner break. Try to plan these at appropriate intervals so staff don’t have lunch at 3pm and dinner at 5pm.
We would ask that if you need a ‘tight’ lunch break – you buy in catering for crew. In any event – Crew are entitled to eat their lunch AWAY from the studio or control room. Please respect this legal right. We cannot ‘buy’ staff out of lunch breaks.
Bio breaks, screen breaks and toilet breaks are not a luxury or an unreasonable request. These breaks are for staff to do as they choose (example drink coffee, stretch legs, take some fresh air, use the toilet, make a call, smoke a cigarette). Please be considerate and try to introduce a short break every 4 hours.
Please be aware that some freelance crews may work according to their union regulations around breaks. In these cases you will be obligated to comply with longer breaks/or mandatory buy-outs.
If you absolutely have no ability to provide a lunch break – you will be charged for a ‘relief crew’ to cover the main crew.
11.SECURITY
CELEBRO operates internal and external CCTV camera recording equipment. CELEBRO is not responsible for the CLIENT’S lost, stolen or damaged goods or equipment on studio premises at any time.

APPENDIX SPECIFIC TO BOOKING TYPES
The following types of bookings have specific a terms attached that apply only to these classes of work.
1: ROOF BOOKINGS (SPECIFIC TO WASHINGTON D.C)
Clients are eithier based on an an ad-hoc, buy out or first come first served service. (FCFS)
Celebro is NOT liable for bad weather. If a booking is cancelled due to bad weather – Celebro are not liable. In all cases – Celebro reserves the right to offer a replacement service from a different roof position, an alternative roof, an alternative White House location or in rare cases – an interior location with a live White House backdrop
In the event that Celebro’s roof cannot be used on a particular day due to a nonweather event and no alternative solution can be found – Clients will receive a pro-rata refund.
SAFETY
The principle of the roof is to have a safe and productive working environment and it is incumbent on all clients to run their own positions as safely as possible. Anyone seen to be doing anything that risks the safety of themselves or others will be asked to leave. A serious breach of safety regulations would be considered a material breach of the terms of this agreement and will lead to an immediate termination.
Clients are responsible for the safe running of their live position in such a way that it does not impact upon other clients. The following list is not exhaustive but serves as a guide to best practice.
Nobody should approach the edge of the roof or pass over any barriers or railings.
No objects should be hung or placed near the edge or the roof.
Lighting stands must be secured against blowing over using appropriate weighted sandbags.
Tripods may also need to be weighted.
Kit must not be left in areas that it can impact others.
Rain covers must be secured down and not prone to flapping or noise.
All cables must be taped or otherwise secured to prevent trip hazards.
Extra care should be taken to go up and down stairs with care. No running and please use the handrails.
Trash must not be left on the roof
No HMI Hot lights under any circumstances
No use of heaters unless supplied by Celebro.
No naked flame or gas bottles.
No smoking.
Take additional care at night or when visibility is lower
Use of apple boxes, peach crates or platforms is not recommended but is allowed at clients own risk
In the event of extreme weather – Celebro may close the roof to protect clients. However weather can change very quickly and without Celebro’s knowledge so it is incumbent on clients to make sensible decisions about the safety of being on a roof during ice, storms, heavy rain or other severe weather events. If it feels unsafe – do not attempt to head up to the roof.
Any safety issues must be reported to Celebro immediately
Celebro reserves the right to amend these rules at any time to suit an emerging safety situation.
INSURANCE
All clients must submit COI with the following requirements. The service agreement is not finalized until a COI is completed:
General Liability $1 Mil per Occurrence/ $2 Mil Per Policy Aggregate
Worker’s Compensation – $1 Mil
Umbrella Liability – $4 or 5 Mil
Policy must name naming Celebro as an Additional Insured (on the GL and Umbrella) and Loss payee
PRINCIPLES OF ROOF ACCESS FOR FIRST COME FIRST SERVED ACCESS
Clients of Celebro have access to a number of roof terrace positions for the purposes of live broadcasting on a self-service basis. Celebro will supply a location, a power supply and an internet connection. For additional cost Celebro may provide a telephone line and SDI tie lines.
The roof access is STRICTLY limited to live single-camera, single-person reports or recorded pieces to camera. The Roof IS NOT to be used for 1+1 or guest interviews.
Single camera usage only without prior consent.
All crew and kit must keep to a footprint of no larger than 4 feet wide x 8 feet deep
All crew are limited to a maximum of 3 people – and in special cases this may be limited further at Celebro’s pleasure.
We ask all clients to be considerate of others when on the roof so the following courtesy should be applied
Voices should be kept low
Avoid noisy phone calls
Avoid walking behind or in front of reporters on air.
Do not ‘overspill’ into neighboring stand-up positions – even for a few minutes
The principles here apply to every day but we also have a number of regulations that change according to demand and news events.
1: NO SPECIAL CONDITIONS BUT BUSY DAY
Access to the roof is on a first come, first served basis – no booking required.
Access to the roof is based on a ‘fair usage policy’ – therefore clients must relinquish a position after a live transmission to allow others to use it.
‘Blocking’ of spaces will not be tolerated and if this is not observed – clients maybe asked to relinquish a spot to other clients.
2: BREAKING NEWS STORY
Clients will be required to book slots on the roof with Celebro via email. No assumptions should be made as to availability.
If demand is high – slots will be limited to 15 minutes with no back-to-back slots permitted
In the event of clashes – Celebro will seek to manage clients booking in a fair way taking into account things like:
Overall usage over previous months
Usage on a particular day
Peak time slots according to broadcast region
3: MAJOR NEWS EVENT
The same rules apply as in a Breaking News Event – however all clients will be limited to a minimum of 2 slots per day.
Clients will be offered additional paid slots at a rate of $450 per 15 minutes
