Legal Information

Last updated: 29 October 2026

This Legal Information page explains who operates this website, how our business is registered in the United Kingdom, the rules that apply when you use the site, and the policies that govern privacy, cookies, contracts and payments. It applies to every person who visits, browses or buys from this website, and it should be read together with our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy, our Terms and Conditions, and our Payment and Refund Policy, each of which forms part of the legal framework for your use of the site. We have written everything below in plain English so that you can see what we promise and what you are entitled to expect from us.

1. Identity of the Website Operator

This website is owned and operated by newsydon. newsydon is the publisher of the content on this site, the data controller for personal information collected through it, and the supplier of any paid service ordered from it. Where this page says "we", "us" or "our", it means newsydon.

Our field is audiovisual production. We publish and provide information, guidance and services relating to broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering, and the production workflows used by television networks, studios, venues and live events. This is a commercial website: some pages describe services that can be purchased, and where a purchase is made the contract is formed between you and newsydon unless we tell you in writing before the order that another company is supplying the service.

Third parties named on this website (manufacturers, integrators, venues, broadcasters and event organisers) are independent of us. Naming them does not create a partnership, agency or joint venture, and they are not responsible for the content published here.

4. Purpose, Scope and Intended Audience of This Website

This website is an informative commercial resource dedicated to audiovisual production. Its purpose is to explain and promote services and know-how in broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering, and the workflows that support television networks, studios, venues and live events. Some pages are purely informational; others set out services that can be ordered or commissioned.

The site is aimed at professional and semi-professional users in the United Kingdom, including production companies, broadcasters, system integrators, technical managers, freelancers and students of the craft, as well as members of the public who are interested in how audiovisual production works. It is written in English and intended for use in the United Kingdom. If you access the site from outside the UK, you are responsible for complying with any local rules that apply to you, and we cannot guarantee that the site or our services meet the requirements of another country.

5. Access to the Website and Acceptable Use

When using this website you agree not to:

use it in any way that breaks the law or infringes the rights of anyone else;

6. Ownership and Permitted Use of Website Content

Unless we state otherwise, all content on this website (text, page layouts, diagrams, illustrations, photographs, video, audio, downloadable documents, code, and the selection and arrangement of the material) is owned by newsydon or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright, database and design rights under the law of the United Kingdom.

You may view, download and print pages for your own internal or personal use, and quote short passages with a clear acknowledgement of this website as the source. You may not use our content for commercial purposes, republish it, frame it, mirror it, create derivative works from it, or use it to train automated systems, without our prior written consent.

The company name newsydon, our logos, and the names of any services or publications we produce are trade marks of the company. Nothing on this website grants you a licence to use them. Third-party trade marks, product names and logos that appear on the site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.

7. Accuracy, Availability and Limitation of Liability

We take reasonable care to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date, but we provide it for general information only. Technical guidance on studio design, camera control, lighting and sound can never be a substitute for a site survey or a written specification, and content may become out of date as equipment, standards and working practices change.

We do not promise that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors, nor that any content is complete or suitable for a particular purpose. Where we supply a paid service, the terms agreed for that service govern the standard we must meet; nothing on this page reduces the rights you have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or any other mandatory consumer protection.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website. We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing on this website is professional engineering or health-and-safety advice, and you should obtain site-specific advice before carrying out work.

8. External Links and Third-Party Content

This website may link to websites run by other organisations, and other sites may link to us. Links are provided for convenience and information only. We do not control external websites, we do not endorse their content, products or practices, and we are not responsible for their availability, accuracy or security. If you follow a link, you leave this website and the terms and privacy practices of the other site will apply to you.

Where we quote or embed third-party material, for example an equipment specification, an industry standard, a case study or a video produced by another party, that material remains the responsibility of its author and remains subject to the author's rights. If you believe that content on this website infringes your rights or is inaccurate, please tell us using the contact details in this page and we will investigate promptly.

9. Data Protection, Privacy and Cookies

We process personal information in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). The detail of how we collect, use, store, share and retain personal information, and the rights you can exercise over it (including access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability), is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of this legal notice.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Strictly necessary cookies are used to make the site work and to remember your cookie choices; non-essential cookies, such as analytics or measurement cookies, are used only where you have given consent through our site-wide cookie banner, and you can reject them, change your mind or withdraw consent at any time. Our Cookie Policy explains the categories of cookies we use, the purposes they serve and how long they last.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings, and you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information. We will never sell your personal data, and we will not use your details for direct marketing by email or text unless the law allows it or you have agreed to it.

10. Contracts, Prices, Cancellation and Consumer Rights

Our Terms and Conditions govern the use of this website and any contract for services that we agree with you, and our Payment and Refund Policy explains how prices, invoices, payment methods, deposits, refunds and credits are handled. Where you buy as a consumer, we provide the pre-contract information required by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, including a description of the service, the total price inclusive of tax, delivery or scheduling arrangements, and, for distance and off-premises contracts, your right to cancel within 14 days together with a cancellation form where applicable. Business-to-business orders and bespoke work are governed by the terms agreed in the relevant quotation or contract.

Prices shown on this website are in pounds sterling and, unless stated otherwise, exclude VAT. VAT is charged at the prevailing UK rate and our VAT registration number is shown in section 2 above. If a price has been displayed incorrectly, we will contact you before the contract is formed and you may cancel the order without charge.

Nothing in this legal notice affects your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 that services must be performed with reasonable care and skill, within a reasonable time, and for a reasonable price where no price was agreed.

11. Applicable Law, Competent Courts and Consumer Dispute Rights

This legal notice, your use of the website, and any dispute or claim arising out of them are governed by the law of England and Wales. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your own part of the United Kingdom, and you benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of your place of residence. Before starting formal proceedings, please contact us first: most questions and complaints can be resolved quickly by email, telephone or a short conversation, and we will always try to agree a practical solution with you.

We are not currently obliged to use an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider. If we ever agree to ADR, we will tell you which approved provider is involved, whether the process is free of charge to you and how long it is expected to take. Where you are a consumer, you also have the right to ask a certified ADR entity, a consumer advice service such as Citizens Advice, or a trading standards service for guidance.
