Last Updated: 19th June 2025

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern the rental and use of camera kits, accessories, editing services, and related offerings (collectively, the “Service”) provided by Lovio Ltd, trading as Lovio or Vlog Your Wedding (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), to you (the “Client,” “you,” or “your”). By completing checkout and placing an order through our website or any other agreed platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

1.     DEFINITIONS

1.1 “Equipment” All items included in the rental package(s), including but not limited to cameras, microphones, batteries, memory cards, cases, accessories, cables, and any other items provided by the Company for the Client’s Rental Period.

1.2 “Rental Period” Begins once the Equipment has been delivered to the Client and ends when the Equipment is handed over to the shipping service for return or is otherwise received back by the Company.

1.3 “Accidental Damage” Damage to the Equipment that occurs despite normal, careful use, such as an unintended drop or knock.

1.4 “Negligence or Misuse” Any reckless, intentional, or inappropriate use of the Equipment beyond its normal or intended operation (e.g., submerging cameras without proper waterproof housing, using microphones in heavy rain without protection, or leaving Equipment unsecured).

1.5 “Media” or “Footage” “Media” and “Footage” are used interchangeably in these Terms and refer collectively to any and all media content captured using the Equipment, including but not limited to photographs, video recordings, and audio recordings.

2.     AGREEMENT TO TERMS

2.1 Eligibility By placing an order and/or completing checkout, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age and legally capable of entering into a binding contract.

2.2 Acceptance You agree to be bound by these Terms and by any other policies or documents referenced herein (including our Privacy Policy). If you do not agree, you must not place an order or use the Equipment.

2.3 Right to Refuse Service We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order if, in our reasonable opinion, fulfilling such order would violate any applicable law or present an unacceptable risk to the Equipment or to our business operations.

3.     BOOKING & PAYMENT

3.1 Booking Confirmation

·       You agree to pay the total rental fee at the time of booking or according to the payment schedule specified by the Company.

·       A booking confirmation will be sent to the email address you provide.

3.2 Payment Schedule & Late Payments

·       Two-Instalment Structure: The final invoice (or second instalment) is due one month before the wedding date.

·       Overdue Payments: If payment is more than 14 days overdue, we reserve the right to cancel your booking. Any payments made to date will be forfeited and are non-refundable.

3.3 Methods of Payment We accept the payment methods displayed on our checkout page. Currently, no deposit is required unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.

3.4 Price Changes We reserve the right to alter pricing before your booking confirmation. Once confirmed, the agreed-upon price is binding.

3.5 Accurate Delivery & Contact Information

·       You agree to provide complete and accurate delivery, billing, and contact details when placing your order.

·       In the event your delivery address or contact details change, you must update us in writing as soon as possible.

·       If you fail to provide valid or updated delivery/contact information and this results in a failure or delay of delivery, it will be deemed your responsibility and may void certain guarantees, including the Delivery Guarantee (see 4.2).

4.     DELIVERY & RETURN

4.1 Delivery

·       We deliver Equipment within mainland UK only (unless expressly agreed otherwise).

·       The Equipment will typically arrive a few days before your event to allow time for setup and inspection and shipping delays.

·       Someone should be present at the delivery address to receive the Equipment. Liability for the Equipment passes to the Client upon delivery confirmation.

4.2 Delivery Guarantee

·       We guarantee that the Equipment will arrive before the wedding day at the delivery address provided at booking (or another address agreed upon in writing).

·       Delivery Attempt: If a delivery is attempted but you are unavailable or fail to take possession, it is deemed delivered for the purposes of this guarantee.

·       If the Equipment does not arrive prior to the start of your wedding day (and no delivery attempt was made), you will receive a 100% refund of all fees paid. No additional liability or compensation will be provided.

·       We do not assume responsibility for delivery delays caused by incorrect information supplied by the Client or acts outside our reasonable control (see Force Majeure).

4.3 Return

·       Return Deadline: The Client must post or hand over the Equipment to the agreed return courier within 2 days after the wedding day (excluding Bank Holidays), or at another time as agreed by the parties. We allow a courtesy day to accommodate minor delays.

·       Late Returns: If the Equipment is not handed over by the end of the courtesy day, we will charge a late fee of £25 per day, up to a maximum of the full replacement cost of the kit (i.e., £1,200). To avoid these charges, you must notify us in advance if you anticipate a delay or wish to extend the rental.

·       Liability Transfer: Once the Equipment is handed to the shipping provider for return (or collected by them), liability transfers back to the Company (subject to the shipping provider’s insurance).

4.4 Return Shipping Instructions

We may provide free return postage or collection as outlined on our website. You must follow the instructions given for safely packing and returning the Equipment. Failure to do so could result in charges for damaged or missing equipment.

5.1 Supervision & Age Limits

·       Equipment must be supervised by a person over the age of 16 at all times.

·       Visibly intoxicated persons (due to alcohol, drugs, or any other intoxicating substance) are prohibited from using or operating the Equipment. We advise putting cameras away once guests become inebriated to minimize risks and avoid unwanted footage.

5.2 Prohibited Uses You shall not:

·       Sublet, rent, or otherwise transfer the Equipment to any third party without our prior written consent.

Clients may request extended storage of their footage beyond the 12-month period for a monthly or annual fee, subject to availability and separate agreement.
