Catering

We partner with local catering companies, so the contents of our Grazing Boxes may vary by studio. These boxes may contain allergens, including: peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, sesame seeds, fish, shellfish, soy, lupin, and wheat.

If you have dietary requirements, food intolerances, or allergies, please inform us during the booking process or before the event to help us coordinate with our vendors.

While we will do our best to accommodate your needs and minimise cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee the food will be completely allergen-free. If medical assistance is required during the event, we may share the information you provided with emergency personnel.

You acknowledge and accept that consuming the provided food is at your own risk, and we will not be liable for any allergic reactions or health issues that may occur.

Liability

We will not be held liable for any injury, loss, or damage incurred by you or your guests during the event unless caused by our gross negligence.

You agree to indemnify us against any claims arising from your actions or guests during the event.

Photography and Media

We may take photographs or videos during events for promotional purposes. By attending the event, you consent to your likeness being used in our marketing materials. If you do not wish to be photographed, please notify our staff in advance.

Our friendly team will notify you and your guests at the beginning of a class if photos or videos will be captured by us during the booking, whereby guests may opt out of being filmed. 

Photos and videos of the masterclass may be published or used in promotional material. 

You or your guests may withdraw consent at any time and request for images to be removed. This will be done as soon as practical (but no later than 3 business days from the date of the request).

We ask that any requests for removal of photos be sent via email to hello@sipandstyleco.com with the subject line ‘photo removal request’.
