Terms & Conditions

Clients

All clients will need to sign Pure Locations Terms and Conditions. Clients are required to have a minimum of $10 – $20 million in Public Liability Cover in the name of the Company hiring the Property. Once a booking confirms Pure Locations will email over the paperwork for you to sign and return before the shoot / event commences.

Location Owners

It is important to understand that by agreeing to rent your home out for photo shoots, filming and events, there is always the risk of damage. For each booking we send out a Location Agreement between yourself and the Hirer. The agreement clearly states that the Hirer hiring the location is responsible for any damages that occur whilst they are hiring your property. They are contracted to have sufficient public liability whilst hiring the location.

By agreeing to Pure Locations representing your home to be hired for photo shoots, filming and events, you are in turn agreeing that Pure Locations is at no stage responsible for any damages to your property.
