The short version

Two kinds of people read this: the person booking the booth, and the guest who just stepped into it at a party. Here’s the deal for both.

If you’re a guest at an event. Step in, make a fool of yourself, get your photos. If you enter your number or email, we text or email you your pictures and that’s it. We don’t add you to a marketing list because you took a booth photo. Your photos may show up in a gallery the host can see. If you want yours pulled, email us and we’ll pull it.

If you’re booking the booth. Your date is held once you’ve signed and paid the retainer. What you get, how long we’re there, what it costs, and what happens if you cancel are all in your signed rental agreement. That agreement beats anything on this website.

One thing we need from hosts. You have to tell your guests a photo booth is there and that photos get taken and shared. We provide the signage. Put it up. Section 8 explains why this matters and it’s not optional.

Faces. If the booth ever uses face detection or face matching, Texas law requires we ask permission before it scans anybody. We ask. You can say no and still use the booth.

Behave in the booth. No nudity, no hate stuff, nothing illegal, don’t break the props. We can shut it down and we don’t refund for that.

Our gear. If someone at your event breaks it, that’s on the host per your rental agreement.

If we disagree. Email first. After that, Texas law and Kerr County courts.

That’s the summary. Full terms below, and those are the binding ones.

1. Who we are and what these terms cover

1.1 Trendy Booth is a division and assumed name of Gabe Rene LLC, a Texas limited liability company with its principal place of business in Kerrville, Texas (“Trendy Booth,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Trendy Booth is not a separate legal entity.

1.2 These Terms of Service and Use (the “Terms”) govern:

(a) your access to and use of trendybooth.co and any related subdomain, landing page, gallery, or online offering that links to these Terms (the “Site”); and

(b) your use of a Trendy Booth photo booth, kiosk, or attendant-operated station at a live event (the “Booth”), including any photo, GIF, boomerang, video, or print produced by it (the “Booth Content”).

1.3 Two audiences. These Terms apply both to the person or organization that books the Booth (the “Host”) and to any person who uses the Booth at an event (a “Guest”). Some sections apply only to one or the other, and they say so.

1.4 By using the Site, or by stepping into the Booth and using it, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site or the Booth.

2. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. We will update the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, give additional notice. Continued use after that constitutes acceptance. Revised Terms do not retroactively change a rental agreement already signed.

3. Eligibility and minors

3.1 The Site is intended for users 18 and older.

3.2 Guests under 18 may use the Booth at appropriate events (school dances, quinceañeras, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs, family weddings). We do not ask guests for age at the Booth.

3.3 A parent or legal guardian who permits a minor to use the Booth accepts these Terms on the minor’s behalf.

3.4 We do not knowingly collect a phone number or email address from a Guest we know to be under 13. Where an event is primarily attended by children under 13, the Host must tell us in advance so we can disable digital delivery and run the Booth in print-only mode. See Section 8.4.

3.5 A parent or legal guardian may request removal of a minor’s Booth Content at any time by emailing us.

4. Booking the booth (hosts)

4.1 An event date is not reserved until we have both a signed rental agreement and the required retainer or deposit. Dates are first come, first served.

4.2 Your rental agreement controls. Package inclusions, hours of coverage, idle time, attendant staffing, backdrop and prop selections, print quantities, travel and mileage, overtime rates, setup and teardown windows, payment schedule, rescheduling, and cancellation are governed by your signed rental agreement. If anything on this Site conflicts with it, your rental agreement wins.

4.3 Pricing shown on the Site is illustrative, subject to change, and is not an offer. Pricing is fixed only in a written proposal, and only for the period stated in it.

4.4 Venue and power. The Host is responsible for securing venue permission, an appropriate and level operating space, and access to a standard grounded power outlet within a reasonable distance of the Booth location. If we cannot set up because these are not available, the event is treated as delivered and no refund is due.

4.5 Access and setup. The Host is responsible for ensuring we have loading access and enough time to set up before guest arrival. Delays caused by venue access, elevators, or timeline changes may reduce active Booth hours without reducing the fee.

4.6 Outdoor events. Outdoor placement requires a level surface, and overhead cover adequate to protect the equipment from sun, rain, and wind. We may relocate or suspend operation of the Booth if conditions threaten the equipment or the safety of any person, in our sole discretion, without refund.

5. Conduct in and around the booth

5.1 The Booth is in a public or semi-public setting at someone’s event. Use it accordingly. You will not:

(a) expose genitals, buttocks, or female breasts, or engage in any sexual act or simulated sexual act in the Booth;

(b) display or make any gesture, symbol, sign, or message promoting hatred or violence against any person or group, including on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or age;

(d) harass, threaten, assault, or intimidate any person, including our attendants;

(e) bring a weapon into the Booth;

(f) damage, deface, disassemble, climb on, or tamper with the Booth, its camera, lighting, printer, backdrop, or props;

(g) remove props from the Booth area or take them home; or

(h) operate the Booth other than as directed by the attendant or the on-screen instructions.

5.2 We may refuse service to any person, delete any Booth Content, decline to print or deliver any Booth Content, suspend Booth operation, or end Booth operation entirely for violations of this Section. We may do so without notice and without refund to the Host.

5.3 Our attendants have final authority on site regarding safe and appropriate operation.

5.4 Intoxication. We may decline service to any person who appears intoxicated to the point of posing a risk to themselves, to others, or to the equipment.

6. Booth content, ownership, and how it gets used

6.1 We own the copyright. Booth Content is a photographic work created by Gabe Rene LLC. We retain copyright in all Booth Content. Neither the Host nor any Guest acquires copyright by using the Booth or by paying for the rental.

6.2 What the Host gets. The Host receives a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use Booth Content from their event for personal use, and, where the Host is a business and the rental agreement so provides, for the Host’s own marketing and social media. The Host may not sell Booth Content or license it to a third party.

6.3 What a Guest gets. A Guest who receives Booth Content receives a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use their own Booth Content for personal, non-commercial purposes, including posting it on their personal social media accounts. Please leave any branding or overlay intact.

6.4 What we may do. We may use Booth Content in our own portfolio, website, social media, proposals, and advertising, subject to the following limits:

(a) where the Host’s rental agreement restricts or prohibits marketing use, we honor that restriction in full;

(b) we do not use Booth Content from a private, sensitive, or confidential event where the Host has told us the event is not to be publicized;

(d) we do not license or sell Booth Content to any third party for that party’s advertising.

6.5 Opt out of our marketing use. Any person appearing in Booth Content may request that we not use their image in our marketing, and that we remove it from anywhere we have published it. Email gabe@gaberene.com with the event name and date and a description of the image. We will honor it. We cannot retrieve prints already handed out, or copies a Guest or the Host has already shared, and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot reach.

6.6 Guest responsibility. A Guest who posts Booth Content containing other people is responsible for that posting. We are not.

7. Delivery of booth content

7.1 Prints. Where the package includes printing, prints are produced on site and handed to Guests during the event.

7.2 Digital delivery. A Guest may choose to receive Booth Content by text message or email by entering a mobile number or email address at the Booth. This is optional. You can use the Booth and take a print without giving us anything.

7.3 Text delivery. Entering your mobile number at the Booth is your consent to receive Booth Content by text at that number. This is a one-time transactional delivery, typically one to three messages. We do not add you to a marketing list because you used the Booth. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Full SMS terms are in Section 12.

7.4 Only enter your own number. Do not enter another person’s mobile number or email address.

7.5 Online gallery. We typically provide the Host with an online gallery of Booth Content from the event. Galleries may be password protected at the Host’s request, and we recommend it. The gallery link is provided to the Host, who controls how widely it is distributed. Galleries remain available for the period stated in the rental agreement.

7.6 No guarantee of delivery. We are not responsible for messages delayed, blocked, or not delivered by a mobile carrier, spam filter, or email provider, or for an address or number entered incorrectly.

8. Host obligations regarding guest notice

This section is important and it is a real obligation, not boilerplate.

8.1 The Host controls the event and the guest list. We do not. The Host is in the only position to tell guests, in advance, that a photo booth will be present.

8.2 The Host agrees to inform guests, before or upon arrival at the event, that a Trendy Booth photo booth will be operating, that photographs and video may be taken, and that Booth Content may be shared with the Host and may be used as described in these Terms.

8.3 We provide printed on-site signage disclosing photography, digital delivery, and any face detection feature in use. The Host agrees to permit that signage to be displayed at the Booth and not to remove, obscure, or relocate it during the event.

8.4 Events attended primarily by children under 13. The Host must notify us at least seven (7) days before the event so we can disable digital delivery and operate in print-only mode.

8.5 Confidential or restricted events. If guests at your event cannot be photographed for legal, security, contractual, or safety reasons, tell us before the event. We will work with you on placement, signage, and delivery restrictions, or advise that a booth is not appropriate.

8.6 The Host indemnifies Gabe Rene LLC against claims by a Guest arising from the Host’s failure to meet the obligations in this Section. See Section 16.

9. Biometric information

9.1 Texas law is strict here and we follow it. Under Texas Business and Commerce Code § 503.001, a person may not capture a biometric identifier of an individual for a commercial purpose unless the person first informs the individual and receives the individual’s consent.

9.2 A “biometric identifier” includes a retina or iris scan, fingerprint, voiceprint, or record of hand or face geometry.

9.3 Standard operation. In standard operation, the Booth takes photographs. It does not create, extract, store, or compare a record of face geometry, and it does not identify or match any person. Automatic detection of a face by a camera solely to set focus or exposure, without creating or storing a face template, is not the capture of a biometric identifier.

9.4 Features that would change that. Certain optional features involve, or may involve, the capture of a biometric identifier, including:

(a) face matching that lets a Guest find their own photos by taking a selfie; (b) automatic face tagging or grouping of Guests across an event gallery; (c) any AI filter, effect, beautification, or swap that maps facial landmarks; (d) any identity verification or age estimation feature; or (e) augmented reality virtual props (digital glasses, hats, crowns, animal ears, and similar overlays), which are positioned by detecting the location and spacing of a Guest’s eyes.

We treat virtual props as falling within this Section. Detecting eye position and spacing in order to place an overlay is a measurement of facial geometry, and we would rather ask permission we did not strictly need than skip permission we did. Where virtual props are enabled at an event, the notice and consent process in Section 9.5 applies.

9.5 If any such feature is in use at an event, then before any capture we will:

(a) display clear written notice at the Booth stating that a biometric identifier will be captured, the specific purpose, and the retention and destruction schedule;

(b) obtain the individual’s affirmative consent through an on-screen prompt requiring an affirmative action before capture, with a clearly available option to decline; and

(c) allow any Guest who declines to use the Booth normally, without that feature. Declining never means being refused service.

9.6 Our commitments regarding any biometric identifier we capture. We will:

(a) not sell, lease, or otherwise disclose it to any third party, except as expressly permitted by Texas Business and Commerce Code § 503.001(c)(1);

(b) store, transmit, and protect it using reasonable care and in a manner at least as protective as the manner in which we handle other confidential information;

(c) destroy it within a reasonable time, and in no event later than the first anniversary of the date the purpose for collecting it expires, which for an event booth is the conclusion of the event and delivery of the gallery; and

(d) honor any request to delete it sooner.

9.7 Other states. Guests in Illinois, Washington, Texas, and certain other states have specific statutory biometric rights. We apply the protections in this Section to every Guest at every event, regardless of state, because running two standards is a good way to get one of them wrong.

10. Equipment, damage, and safety

10.1 The Booth and all associated cameras, lighting, printers, tablets, backdrops, props, and structures remain the exclusive property of Gabe Rene LLC at all times.

10.2 Per the rental agreement, the Host is responsible for damage to or loss of the equipment caused by the Host, the Host’s guests, or the Host’s other vendors, excluding normal wear and our own negligence.

10.3 The Host is responsible for maintaining a safe environment around the Booth.

10.4 We may suspend or end Booth operation at any time, without refund, if we reasonably believe there is a threat to the safety of any person or to the equipment, including due to weather, crowd behavior, or venue conditions.

10.5 Equipment failure. Photo booths are computers, cameras, and printers operating in a party. If equipment fails and we cannot restore service, our liability is limited to a pro rata refund of the fee for the affected period of coverage. See Section 15.

11.1 The Site and its content, including all photographs, video, graphics, text, layouts, and designs, are owned by Gabe Rene LLC or our licensors and protected by intellectual property law.

We terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Knowing material misrepresentation may make you liable under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

12. Text message (SMS) terms

12.1 Booth photo delivery (transactional). Entering your mobile number at the Booth opts you in to receive your Booth Content by text. Typically one to three messages per event. This is a transactional program. We will not send you marketing texts because you used the Booth.

12.2 Host and client communications. A Host who books us may receive texts about their event, including scheduling, arrival, load-in, and logistics.

12.3 Marketing messages. We send promotional texts only to people who separately and expressly opt in. Consent to marketing texts is never a condition of any purchase or of using the Booth.

12.4 Cost. Message and data rates may apply. Your carrier may charge you. We do not.

12.5 Opt out. Reply STOP to any message to stop that program. You will get one confirmation message.

12.6 Help. Reply HELP, email gabe@gaberene.com, or call 210.802.6055.

12.7 Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages, and neither we nor any carrier guarantees delivery.

12.9 We may modify or discontinue any text program at any time.

13. Third-party services

The Booth and the Site rely on third-party services, including our booking platform, SMS gateway, email platform, gallery host, payment processor, and analytics and advertising platforms. Your use of those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies. We do not control them and are not responsible for them.
