If your registration application is rejected due to insufficient documents or verification failure (due to inadvertently given wrong or incomplete information, for example), you may reapply with valid documents and correct information.
Once you have been given an identification number, at any time you need equipment, you may enquire about its availability by sending a booking request and reserve it in advance, or simply walk into our store and hire any equipment that is available.
Your booking is confirmed only upon 100% advance payment. We do not block equipment without payment for more than a few hours.
You may collect the reserved gear after 4 p.m. on the previous day of your booking or on the day of the booking, if you so prefer, and return it before 10:30 a.m. on the next day of the last date of your booking.
E.g. if you have booked equipment from the 12th to the 15th, you can collect it after 4 p.m. on the 11th and return it before 10:30 a.m. on the 16th.
If you cannot drop by our facility to collect or return equipment yourself, no problem; we’ll have it delivered to or picked up from your doorstep anywhere in Bengaluru for a small additional charge from Monday to Saturday.
For your convenience, we are open from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays we are closed for business but we accept and issue equipment only at our office from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., when you can collect or return equipment personally. Our doorstep pickup-and-drop facility is not available on Sundays.
We understand shoots and assignments might get cancelled and you may no longer require the booked equipment for a particular date.

- Cancellation of a booking between 6 and 3 days before the date of hire will attract a cancellation charge of 50% of the rental fee. You will receive a credit note for 50% of the advance paid in such cases.
- We accept no cancellations within 3 days of the date of hire.
- If the cancellation of a booking attracts cancellation fees as per policy, you will be billed even if there is no advance paid.
