## Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
The most-asked questions are answered in the index card above.
These are the remainder:

**Q: What forms of payment do you accept?**
A: All major credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, and checks. A $200 non-refundable deposit secures your date, with the balance due by your event date.

**Q: What is your cancellation policy?**
A: The $200 deposit is non-refundable at any point. If plans change, call first and we will work with you on a new date when we can. The signed Service Agreement has the full terms.

**Q: What types of photo booths do you offer?**
A: Five booth styles: Classic, Glam, Mirror, 360 Video, and Social. Each has different output formats — see booth catalog above for print specs.

**Q: How does the 360 video booth work?**
A: Guests stand inside a circular TrackStar ring while a camera rides the track around them, capturing slow-motion video from every angle. Output is digital video only — no prints.

**Q: Can guests get digital copies?**
A: Yes — guests can text or email high-resolution copies to themselves directly from the booth.

**Q: What if something goes wrong on event day?**
A: Every truck rolls with a support kit — spare cables, lighting parts, and consumables — for in-field fixes. If we cannot deliver the booth, full refund — no exceptions. Across 5,500+ events since 2017, this has never happened.
