Terms of service
Last updated 15 September 2026
Who we are
Studio Manager is a booking platform for creative studios. Studios list their space, rates and availability; clients request and pay for sessions. Studio Manager is not a party to the session itself — the agreement for the studio time is between the studio and the client.
Studio accounts
Studios are responsible for the accuracy of their details, rates, availability and banking information, and for delivering the sessions they accept. Studios must hold the rights and permissions needed to hire out their space.
Bookings
A request is not confirmed until the studio accepts it. Once accepted, the client pays a deposit to hold the time. The remaining balance is settled with the studio according to the studio's own terms.
Fees and payouts
Using Studio Manager to manage your studio is free. Payments are processed by Stripe, and a small platform fee is deducted from each booking payment. Where Stripe supports the studio's country, the balance is paid out to the studio's own connected Stripe account on Stripe's settlement schedule. Elsewhere Studio Manager collects the payment and pays the studio out separately.
Acceptable use
Do not use Studio Manager for unlawful activity, upload content you do not own the rights to, or attempt to interfere with the service or other users' accounts.
Liability
Studio Manager provides the platform "as is". We are not liable for damage, loss or injury arising from a session, nor for a studio's or client's failure to honour a booking.
Ending your account
You may stop using Studio Manager at any time. We may suspend an account that breaches these terms or that puts clients or payments at risk.

Questions about these terms can be sent to the studio you booked with, or to the Studio Manager account holder who operates this site.
