Studio 41 Dress Hire Terms & Conditions

Studio 41 Dress Hire — Terms & Conditions

Please read in full prior to completing your booking. 

  1. General Information: These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of Studio 41’s dress hire services, whether booked via the website or through an in-studio appointment

    By placing a booking, you agree to comply with these Terms. Studio 41 may update these Terms at any time without notice. Please review them regularly. 

  1. Booking and Payments: Reservations: Dresses can be booked through the Studio 41 website or by contacting Studio 41 directly. All bookings require confirmation and acceptance by Studio 41.

    Deposits: A security deposit of £50 is required at the time of booking to secure your rental for the chosen dates. This deposit is refundable upon the return of the dress in its original condition, minus any fees for damage or late return. The deposit cannot be returned for cancellation.

    Payment: Full payment, including the rental fee and deposit, must be made at the time of booking. If the dress is being delivered to you, a delivery charge will be added.  

  1. Rental Period Duration: The standard rental period is four (4) or seven (7) days unless otherwise agreed. The rental period begins on the day the dress is collected or delivered. Day 1 of your rental is typically the day before your event, and the dress should be returned by day 4 or day 7, whichever duration was selected at booking.

    Late Returns: A late fee of £20 per day will be charged for dresses not returned by the agreed date. 

  1. Collection and Return: Collection: Dresses can be collected from the studio or posted to your address. If postal delivery is required, please indicate this at the time of booking.

    Return: Dresses must be returned in person or via post. Your shipping charge includes a pre-paid, pre-addressed return bag for your convenience. Please photograph proof of delivery. 

 

  1. Condition and Care: Condition: All dresses are inspected before rental. Any existing damage will be noted. The dress should be returned in the same condition. Please inspect the dress on the day it is received and notify Studio 41 the same day if there is an issue that prevents you from wearing it. Please ensure the “returns tag” is not removed until after inspection.

    Damage: If the dress is returned damaged, stained, or beyond normal wear and tear, repair costs will be deducted from the security deposit. If irreparable damage is caused, the renter is liable for the full replacement value. Please do not attempt any repairs — the dress remains the property of Studio 41.

    Cleaning: Please do not attempt to wash or dry clean the dress. Due to delicate fabrics, a specialist dry cleaner is used, and the renter will be responsible for any damage caused if the dress is washed or taken to a dry cleaner independently. The cost of cleaning is included in your rental.

    Ironing: Please do not attempt to iron or hand steam the dresses. Great care is taken with packaging, but some creasing may be inevitable — it is fine to hang the dress in a room with a shower creating steam, ensuring the dress does not get wet. Any marks or damage caused by ironing will result in irreparable damage and render the dress unusable, incurring the full RRP cost of the dress being charged to the renter. 

 

  1. Cancellation Policy: Cancellations: You may cancel your booking; however, the rental fee and deposit will not be refunded but can be transferred to a future booking. 

 

  1. Liability Loss or Damage: Studio 41 is not responsible for any loss or damage to the dress after it has been collected by the renter. The renter assumes responsibility until the dress is returned.

    Fit and Suitability: Studio 41 is not liable for any issues related to the fit or suitability of the dress. It is the renter’s responsibility to check measurements from the dress brand/designer and ensure a suitable fit. Studio 41 is happy to discuss dress measurements in advance of booking but does not offer refunds for fit-related issues.

    Injury: Studio 41 is not liable for any injury sustained while wearing a hired dress, including but not limited to issues arising from fit, fabric, embellishments, footwear worn with the dress, or the renter’s own movement or activity while wearing the item.

 

  1. Privacy: Personal information collected during the booking process will be used solely for the purpose of fulfilling your order and communicating with you.

 

  1. Governing Law: These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Northern Ireland.

 

  1. Contact: For any inquiries or concerns, please get in touch via the “Contact” page at www.studio41.co.

    By hiring an item from Studio 41, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions.
