To ensure the best possible glow and the highest quality results, we do not allow outside art supplies on the shuttle. This includes, but is not limited to, personal canvases, paints, stickers, or embellishments. We provide everything you need for a perfectly vibrant, Cosmic masterpiece! If you would like extra canvases, let us know! We can provide them at a low, wholesale price.
To keep the splat on the canvas and off your snacks, we do not allow food or drinks inside the mobile studio.
Intergalactic law (and our insurance policy) dictate the only spirits allowed on board are the creative kind. Our shuttle runs strictly on a dry fuel system, so alcohol is not permitted inside the studio.
For the safety and comfort of our painters and our furry friends, we do not allow pets or Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) inside the mobile studio. While we love animals, the Cosmic Splat environment isn't the best fit for them for a few reasons:
Safety First: Our studio is a high-energy space with wet paint, trip hazards, and confined movement.
Sensitive Paws: We use specialty paints and cleaning agents that aren't ideal for paws or fur.
Sensory Environment: The UV lights, music, and high-energy vibe can be overwhelming for some animals.
Service Animal Policy: We do, of course, welcome task-trained service animals as defined by the ADA. Please keep in mind that the studio floor can be slippery and paint splatter is part of the experience, so we recommend taking extra precautions to keep your service animal's coat protected.
If Cosmic Splat determines that weather conditions (heavy snow, ice, or winds exceeding 35 mph) make it unsafe for the shuttle to launch, we will contact you to reschedule at no cost.
We aim to make your booking and event experience as seamless as possible! We use Square to process all transactions securely. We currently accept:
All Major Credit & Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and UnionPay.
Contactless "Tap" Payments: Use your phone or watch via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay for a lightning-fast checkout at community pop-up events or to purchase an add-on item, like a mini UV flashlight.
Cash App Pay: Scan a custom QR code on our terminal to pay instantly using your Cash App balance.
Digital Invoices: For corporate or school bookings, we can send a secure Square Invoice directly to your email for easy online payment via credit card or ACH bank transfer.
Checks: To secure your date, the non-refundable deposit must be received and cleared before the reservation is officially confirmed. The remaining balance is due at least 15 business days prior to your event. A $50 Returned Check Fee will be applied to any dishonored payments. Should a check be returned, the total balance plus the fee must be paid immediately via credit card or ACH bank transfer.
For extra convenience, we also accept Venmo, allowing you to pay using your Venmo balance or a linked account.
To keep the line moving and our artists glowing, we do not accept cash payments. Cosmic Splat is a cashless studio. We accept all major credit cards and mobile tap-to-pay options.
Our scheduling is tailored to your headcount. We can accommodate small groups (10 or fewer) all at once, or set up a seamless rotation schedule for large groups (more than 10).To secure a spot on our event calendar for your party, on-site field trip, or private company event, we use the following payment process:Securing Your Date: A non-refundable $150 deposit (which is applied to your package total), the permit fee (if any), and a signed Service Agreement are required to reserve Cosmic Splat for your event.

Travel Fee: A $25-$100 travel fee will be applied to your invoice if your location is beyond our 25-mile range.Final Balance: Your remaining balance (package price + travel fee - $150 = remaining balance) is due 7 days before your event. Please note that we are unable to accept day-of payments.
Payment Issues: In the event of a returned payment, the balance must be resolved within 24 hours. A $50 returned payment fee will be applied to your invoice.Rescheduling: We offer one complimentary reschedule with 7 or more days' notice.
Late-Notice Changes: Rescheduling requests made with less than 7 days' notice are subject to a $75 service fee to secure a new date.
Cancellations: All on-site field trip bookings include a $150 non-refundable retainer. Cancellations made with more than 48 hours' notice will receive a refund of the package price and travel fee minus $150. Permit fee is non-refundable in all circumstances.

In these cases, we strongly recommend rescheduling to a new date.Colorado Weather Policy: If Cosmic Splat determines that weather conditions (heavy snow, ice, or winds exceeding 35 mph) make it unsafe for the shuttle to launch, we will contact you to reschedule at no cost.Cosmic Splat reserves the right to reschedule or cancel events due to unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to safety concerns or equipment issues.

Final Balance: The remaining balance (package rate + travel fee - $150 deposit = remaining balance) must be paid in full at least 7 days prior to your event date. Keep in mind, wristbands can only be delivered to you after the final payment has been made.
Wristband Release: Once your final balance is paid, your Splat Pass wristbands will be issued.
Pro-Tip: Pay early to maximize your pre-sale window! You'll also need to treat these wristbands like cash, as they represent pre-paid Cosmic Splat admission. They should only be distributed after your supporters have contributed to your cause, i.e. paid for them.
Rescheduling: We offer one complimentary reschedule with 7 or more days' notice.
Late-Notice Changes: Rescheduling requests made with less than 7 days' notice are subject to a $75 service fee to secure a new date.

The Point of No Return: Once your Splat Pass Wristbands have been released to your organization, the booking is non-refundable, excluding the travel fee. Because these wristbands represent a fixed cash value, we cannot issue refunds after they are in your possession.
Late Cancellations: Regardless of wristband status, any cancellation made less than 48 hours before your event is non-refundable, excluding travel fee. In these cases, we strongly recommend rescheduling to a new date.
To qualify for our non-profit package, we require a copy of your IRS Determination Letter or a recent Form 990.

Some cities require Cosmic Splat to file for a temporary use permit to set up, even when we are operating on private property. The city can take 5 business days - 3 weeks to approve the permit, provided there are no hiccups.
Booking early gives us a comfortable window to get all the paperwork approved so your event goes off without a hitch!
If your city requires a permit, we recommend booking a month or more in advance to be safe. To make it a hassle-free experience for you, we handle the filing and you only have to cover the fee!
We require your final painter count 7 days prior to your event. This allows us to:Finalize the Schedule: We’ll calculate exactly how many Splat Shifts are needed so your event runs like clockwork.
Prep Your Gear: We ensure we have enough protective wear, canvases, and fresh paint prepped for every single guest.
Confirm the Balance: Since your final payment is due 48 hours before the event, having the headcount locked in at the 7-day mark ensures your final invoice is 100% accurate.Please note: Once the 7-day window has passed, the headcount can be increased (if time and supplies allow), but it cannot be decreased for billing purposes.
