All orders received by the Company for the supply of materials and/or services will be subject to the following conditions that will form the basis of the Contract between the Company and the Customer. These conditions (together with any order form and/or acceptance of order form) constitute the entire agreement between the parties and the Customer warrants that it has not entered into the Contract as a result of any representation promise warranty or agreement other than as contained in these conditions.

A further assessment will be made on completion of the work and further recommendation made where appropriate.
(3) Equitable and beneficial ownership of the goods supplied shall remain with the Company until full payment has been received.
(4) By accepting the supply of goods or services the Customer gives the right of access to the Company to enter upon the property for the sole purposes of carrying out the work ordered. The Customer further gives irrevocable right of access to the Company to remove such goods should the Company in accordance with the stated trading terms not receive payment.

(7) The Company reserves the right to decline to carry out work that, in its sole judgment, is considered to be unsafe.
(8) The Company cannot guarantee the quality of reception, as this is dependent on factors outside its control. However, every effort will be made by the Company to ensure that the reception obtained is as good as the prevailing local factors allow. The Customer is reminded that the continuous growth of trees and shrubs may have a detrimental shadowing effect on reception particularly where they obscure the line of sight with the transmitter or satellite, a similar effect can occur with new buildings erected in the line of sight and the Company cannot guarantee against the resultant loss of signal caused by such instances. The Company cannot guarantee against vandalism, gales or lightning. Call backs, which can be rectified by the pressing of Customer accessible controls, are not covered by guarantee and any requests for service will be chargeable.

(9) The Company draws to the attention of the Customer the following recommendations of the BBC regarding the installation of UHF aerials in lofts. The television and radio transmitter networks have been carefully planned to make best use of the frequencies available. The plan assumes that a good aerial mounted OUTSIDE would be used for television or VHF radio in the home. Loft mounted aerials may sometimes be suitable for VHF stereo radio, but indoor aerials are never recommended for television. In all cases, the fitting of an aerial in a loft will adversely affect the quality of reception obtained. Although the Company will make every effort to obtain satisfactory reception, it cannot guarantee the results from aerials so sited.
(10) In general the Company will direct aerials towards the transmitter designated by the BBC and Ofcom to serve the area in which the property is situated. Where the Customer specifically requests reception from an out of area transmitter the Company will make every effort to obtain satisfactory reception but reserves the right to make a service charge if reception proves unacceptable.
(11) Where an MATV, SMATV, or satellite IF system has been installed, the Company shall provide the Customer with a commissioning report to record the type of system, a description of materials used and the signal levels achieved at the head end and at the various points throughout the system.
(12) Systems shall comply with all relevant Health and Safety Standards including BS EN 50083-1 and the CAI Codes of Practice. Where these Standards are not included in the specification, the Company shall advise the Customer on such applicable Standards.
(13) Digital terrestrial signals:
(a) Until the digital network is fully operational across the UK no guarantees of digital reception, by aerials installed before that time, can be given.
(b) Where digital signals prove to be below the threshold recommended in the CAI Codes of Practice, but the Customer is satisfied with the reception quality of sound and picture, then the Company cannot be held responsible for the maintenance of that quality under the normal guarantee terms. Should deterioration of reception occur for any reason other than mechanical or electrical breakdown of the aerial equipment, then the Company reserves the right to impose service charges if the Customer requests further efforts.
(c) The Company reserves the right to charge for work, which may result from unacceptable reception on aerials described as compatible for digital reception, but proving unacceptable once broadcasts start at full power in the area in which it was installed.
(14) Point 13(b) also applies to five (Channel 5) analogue signals.
(15) The Company shall not be held responsible for loss of reception due to the future encryption or broadcast modulation change of any signal received, regardless of transmission platform.
