General Policies:

The above prices are for estimate purposes only. The actual price for an event is determined after all services have been rendered.

Late Fees: ITS requires an IDR at least 7 days before the event is to take place. Events not scheduled at least 7 days in advance may be subject to 1.5x normal labor charges. Events not scheduled at least 48 hours in advance are subject to 2x labor charges.

Last Minute Equipment: Without specific instructions otherwise, we will fulfill last minute equipment requests and bill them according to our pricing schedule. Be aware that this could happen without approval of whomever signed the IDR.

Cancellations: Event cancellations are expected at least 24 hours in advance. If an event is not cancelled in time to inform the technicians, you will be billed for their labor. You will not be billed for unused equipment.

Charitable Events: ITS cannot offer discounts to charitable organizations or events due to University policy: allocating University resources for charitable purposes is not allowed. Remember that ITS A/V Services is not profit-making and strives to provide the lowest possible pricing.

Rented Equipment: ITS will rent equipment not in our inventory from appropriate local sources upon request. The client pays the rental bill in full, as well as labor charges for pickup/return of the equipment. During particularly busy times, ITS equipment is available on a first-come, first-served basis; organizations who schedule their events later may have to pay higher equipment costs if ITS's inventory is not sufficient.

Overtime: 1.5x labor is charged between the hours of 1 AM - 8 AM. Generally, when an event runs later than 1AM, ITS will attempt to strike the equipment the next day to avoid overtime.
