To rent any equipment or use the facilities at IFP Minnesota,
one must be a member of IFP Minnesota in good standing.
Equipment and facilities use are not open to the general
public (unless as part of a class).
• All Equipment checkouts are by appointment only
(no walk-ups). Appointments may be made at our facility,
over the phone, or by e-mail (reservations should not
be counted on until the member receives confirmation).
• Please note, some equipment may require certification
by IFP Minnesota before rentals may occur.
• Please inquire if this applies to any equipment
you may be interested in renting.
• All credit cards and checks declined with a NSF
will be billed and additional $25.00 return fee.
• Members who violate the rental and return policies
of IFP Minnesota on two or more occasions may be subject
to a 30-day suspension of rental privileges.
• IFP Minnesota will not be responsible for the
level of charge in any rechargeable battery equipment.
Every effort will be made to accommodate requests for
charged batteries if they are placed 48 hours before the
reservation pick-up date.
• IFP Minnesota strongly suggests that members allow
enough time before their checkout to review and inspect
all equipment that they are checking out before leaving
the facility. IFP Minnesota Access Staff check and test
all gear going out for a rental. Whether or not the member
waives the right to inspect equipment they are checking
out, all equipment becomes the responsibility of the member
when they leave the IFP Minnesota facilities. Any and
all damaged or missing items, and broken equipment will
be the sole responsibility of the member. Future rentals
will not be allowed until resolution of damages is reached.
• IFP Minnesota supplies spare bulbs with all lighting
equipment rentals. IFP Minnesota cannot guarantee the
lifespan of any bulbs in fixtures at the time of checkout
due to the varied usage patterns during the average rental.
IFP Minnesota Access Staff will replace any burned out
bulbs a member may notice at the time of equipment testing
at checkout.
• Returns of all equipment are due no later than
4 pm on the date of return. A flat $25.00 late fee or
25% of the total bill (whichever is the lesser amount)
will be billed for any returns occurring after 4 pm. All
equipment not returned by the end of the business day
of the return date will be billed an additional day in
late fees.
• A credit/debit card imprint is required for all
equipment rentals that have a rental value of more than
$100.00
• IFP Minnesota reserves the right to refuse rental
requests. You have the right to request a written determination
as to why the rental request was refused, and one will
be provided to you within seven days of the request. Some,
but not all of the reasons why a rental request may be
refused are: equipment traveling out of state or out of
country; equipment being exposed to extreme conditions.
Use of firearms, explosions, and certain kinds of stunts,
rigging of equipment to the exteriors of boats, cars,
airplanes, and exposure of equipment to direct contact
with water or flame.
• IFP Minnesota will make every attempt to facilitate
the needs of your project. You are encouraged to submit
any special needs of your project in writing well in advance
of your needed rental date, so any concerns may be resolved.
• Never leave computer suites unattended and/or
the door open/unlocked if you need to leave the suite
at any time. Failure to do so may result in the suspension
of computer suite reservations for that member.
• It is assumed that all members booking computer
suite time are knowledgeable of the program or application
that they will be using (Final Cut, Photoshop, ProTools,
etc.) IFP Minnesota staff is not available to help students
with their projects. Staff can help with general computer
troubleshooting.
Members having regular difficulty with a program will
be directed to our course catalog that features classes
for all the applications we carry.
• All darkroom facilities must be left the way they
were found. Members leaving running water, dry-mount heaters,
exposed chemistry, standing water, work lights on, etc;
will be notified of the infraction on the first violation.
A second violation will result in a written and verbal
confirmation of the problem. A third violation will result
in a 30-day suspension of darkroom privileges.
