Legal Information

Last updated: 4 November 2026

About This Legal Information Page

This page brings together the information that the operator of communyze is required to publish under the law of England and Wales and, where applicable, the wider law of the United Kingdom. It explains who is responsible for the website, how that business is registered, how it can be contacted, and the rules that apply when you read, browse or otherwise use the site. It is a legal notice rather than promotional material, and it should be read together with our other published policies.

Nothing on this page removes or reduces any right you have as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or under any other legislation that cannot be varied by agreement. Where this page and a signed contract differ, the signed contract takes precedence for that particular transaction.

communyze is an informational resource about audiovisual production practice, including broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering and the streamlined workflows used by television networks and live event teams. The website is maintained as a public reference for professionals, integrators and students working in those fields.

Who Operates This Website

The website is operated by Adlib Audio Limited (referred to on this page as "we", "us" and "our"), a company registered in England and Wales, publishing under the site name communyze. That company is the publisher of the website and the party legally responsible for its content. For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, the same company is the data controller of any personal data collected through the website.

As operator, we decide what appears on the website, we keep the corporate information on this page accurate and up to date, we handle enquiries and complaints, and we make sure that personal data collected through the contact page, the contact form or the cookie banner is processed lawfully.

Other businesses and brands referred to on the website, such as equipment manufacturers, software vendors, standards bodies, broadcasters and event organisers, are independent third parties. They do not operate this website and are not responsible for it unless we say otherwise in writing.

Legal Form, Registration Details and Tax Identifiers

Under the Companies Act 2006, the Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015, the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 and the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, a company operating a commercial website in the United Kingdom must disclose certain corporate details. The following information is therefore published in full.

Company Name: Adlib Audio Limited
Legal Form: private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales
Company Registration Number: 03555097
Place of Registration: England and Wales, registered with the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales (Companies House)
VAT Number: 477222243
Registered Office: 1 Fairview Cottages, Beehive Road, Binfield, RG12 8TS, United Kingdom
Email Address: [email protected]
Telephone Number: +44 (0)1344 649400

The company name, registration number, place of registration and registered office address are also shown in the footer of every page of this website, so that the identity of the operator is visible wherever you are on the site. The registration number and the VAT number are the two principal non-contact identifiers used by the business: the registration number identifies the legal entity on the public register maintained by Companies House, and the VAT number identifies the business for value added tax purposes. Both can be verified independently through the relevant public registers.

Licences, Regulated Activities and Responsible Representatives

Providing audiovisual production support, studio integration, equipment hire and related technical services does not require a general trading licence in the United Kingdom. Certain activities are nevertheless regulated, and where those regimes apply to our work we comply with them. They include the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 in relation to electrical and electronic equipment we place on the market or take back, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and its associated regulations for work carried out at venues and on customer premises, the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 in relation to our employees, and electrical installation, inspection and testing work carried out in accordance with the current edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). Where we work at licensed premises or at events, the licensing and safety requirements imposed by the local authority and by the Licensing Act 2003 also apply.

The company acts through its board of directors, who are collectively its authorised representatives and whose appointments are recorded on the public register at Companies House. Day-to-day responsibility for this website, for commercial correspondence and for data protection enquiries rests with the company's management team. Formal notices and legal documents may be served at the registered office shown above.

Registered Office and How to Contact Us

The registered office of the operating company is 1 Fairview Cottages, Beehive Road, Binfield, RG12 8TS, United Kingdom. The registered office is the official address for the service of documents and formal correspondence, and it is the address that appears on the public register. Because technical and production work is carried out at customer sites, studios, warehouses and venues, the registered office is not always the place where a particular project is delivered.

You can reach us by email at [email protected] or by telephone on +44 (0)1344 649400. If you prefer, you can use the contact form on the Contacts page of this website. General enquiries about this legal page, requests for a copy of any policy mentioned here, and notices about content or copyright should be sent to [email protected] so that they are recorded and routed to the right team.

We aim to acknowledge written enquiries within five working days. Correspondence that concerns your statutory rights, a contract or a data protection request is handled under the relevant procedure described in our Privacy Policy, our Terms and Conditions or this page, as appropriate.

Purpose, Scope and Intended Audience of the Website

This website is an informative resource dedicated to audiovisual production excellence. Its scope covers broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering and the streamlined workflows used by television networks and by teams delivering live events. The material is written for working technicians, production managers, system designers, integrators, students and others with an interest in these subjects.

The content is provided for general information and professional education. It is not a substitute for site-specific engineering, electrical, structural, licensing or safety advice, and it does not create a consultancy relationship between you and us. Equipment specifications, software versions, standards and industry practice change frequently, so any description on this website should be checked against current manufacturer documentation and applicable standards before it is relied on for a project.

The website is aimed at an adult, professional readership. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children through it. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us, please tell us at [email protected] so that we can review the matter and, where appropriate, delete the data.

Access to the Website and Acceptable Use

Access to the public pages of this website is free of charge and does not require registration. We do not guarantee that the website, or any part of it, will always be available or uninterrupted. We may suspend, withdraw, restrict or change all or part of the site, including for maintenance, security or technical reasons, without notice. You are responsible for the device, software and internet connection you use to reach the site.

Contact us with questions, corrections or requests relating to the content.

What You Must Not Do

Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, harvest or systematically download the website or any data or contact information from it.
Extract text, images or other material for the purpose of training machine learning or generative artificial intelligence models without our prior written consent.
Introduce viruses, malware or any other harmful code, attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site or its servers, or interfere with its normal operation.
Misrepresent your identity or your connection with us, or use the website in a way that is unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, defamatory or harmful to others.

If you breach these rules we may take reasonable steps to protect the website and our rights, including blocking access, and we may report unlawful activity to the relevant authorities.

Intellectual Property, Trade Marks and Permitted Use of Content

The website and its contents, including text, layout, graphics, diagrams, photographs, audio and video material, software code and databases, are protected by copyright, database rights, design rights and other intellectual property rights. Those rights belong to the operating company or to third parties who have licensed their material to us. The name communyze, the company name and the associated logos are trade marks or trading names of the company and may not be used without prior written permission, whether or not they are registered.

Subject to the acceptable use rules above, you may view the website on a screen, allow it to be stored in the cache of your browser, and print one copy of individual pages for your own reference. No other licence is granted, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise. In particular, you may not modify, translate, frame, mirror or create derivative works from the content, or use it in a way that suggests a partnership, endorsement or affiliation that does not exist.

If you believe that material on this website infringes your copyright, trade mark or other rights, please write to [email protected] with enough detail for us to identify the material, the right you rely on and your contact details. We will review the notice promptly and, where it is well founded, remove or amend the material while we investigate.

Accuracy, Availability and Limits on Our Liability

We take care in preparing the material published on this website and we correct errors when they are brought to our attention. Even so, the content is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not promise that it is complete, current, error-free, free from omissions or suitable for a particular purpose, and we do not warrant that the website or the servers that host it are free from viruses or other harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all conditions, warranties, representations and other terms that might otherwise be implied. We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, this website or any content on it.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you in connection with your use of the public pages of this website is limited to one hundred pounds (£100). Nothing on this page limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for breach of your statutory rights, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Consumer Rights Are Not Affected

If you deal with us as a consumer, you benefit from rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and related legislation that no term of this notice can take away. Those rights apply alongside, and where necessary override, the limitations described in this section.

External Links and Third-Party Content

The website may refer or link to websites, platforms, documents, videos and services operated by third parties, such as equipment manufacturers, software vendors, standards organisations, broadcasters and event organisers. Those references are provided for convenience and context only. A reference or link is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability, security or data practices of any third-party resource.

When you follow a third-party link you leave this website and the third party's own terms and privacy notices apply. You should read them before using that service or providing personal data. Embedded media, interactive tools and social plug-ins supplied by third parties may set cookies or similar technologies on your device; the categories we use and how to control them are described in our Cookie Policy.

If you believe that a third-party link on this website is inaccurate, unsafe or unlawful, please tell us at [email protected] and we will consider whether it should be removed or amended.

Personal Data, Cookies and Electronic Marketing

We process personal data in accordance with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). The data controller is the operating company identified above. We maintain the registration and pay the data protection fee required by the Information Commissioner's Office, as is required of organisations processing personal data in the United Kingdom.

We collect only the personal data we need: for example, the details you enter into the contact form, correspondence you send us, and technical information such as IP address and browser type collected through cookies and server logs. Depending on the context, we rely on your consent for optional cookies and marketing, on the performance of a contract for orders and enquiries about services, on our legitimate interests for responding to business enquiries and keeping the website secure, and on legal obligations for tax and accounting records.

Cookies and similar technologies are used in line with PECR. Strictly necessary cookies, which make the website work and remember your cookie choices, are set without consent. Any other cookie, for example one used for analytics or embedded media, is set only after you have agreed through the cookie banner, and you can withdraw or change that choice at any time.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to be informed, to access your personal data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to request erasure in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing. Requests can be sent to [email protected]; we will respond within one month as required by law. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, although we would prefer you to contact us first so that we can put things right.

Where we send marketing by email, we do so only with your consent or, for existing customers, under the soft opt-in permitted by PECR, and every message includes a way to unsubscribe. Full details of retention periods, lawful bases, recipients and safeguards for any international transfer of personal data are set out in our Privacy Policy, and our use of cookies is explained in our Cookie Policy.

Contracts, Orders, Payments, Cancellations and Refunds

Browsing this website does not create a contract. Contracts for the hire of equipment, the sale of goods, integration and installation work, service and maintenance, or production support come into existence only when we confirm them in writing in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, which govern those transactions. Where you order as a business, our standard business terms apply, including payment periods, deposits, insurance responsibilities, delivery and collection arrangements, and liability provisions.

Where you deal with us as a consumer, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 generally give you fourteen days from delivery, or from the conclusion of the contract, to cancel a distance or off-premises purchase, with a refund issued within fourteen days of cancellation or of the return of the goods, to the original payment method. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also requires goods to be of satisfactory quality and services to be performed with reasonable care and skill. Bespoke or made-to-order items, sealed goods unsealed after delivery, and certain other categories may be excluded from the cancellation right, as explained in the applicable policy.

Payments are processed through our approved payment providers. Invoices are issued in pounds sterling and, where applicable, show VAT at the prevailing rate. Cancellation rights, return conditions, restocking arrangements, warranty procedures and refund timetables are described in more detail in our Terms and Conditions and in our Payment and Refund Policy, both of which form part of the agreement between us.

Applicable Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution

This legal information page, the website and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the law of England and Wales. Subject to the consumer protections described below, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live, and nothing on this page prevents you from relying on the mandatory consumer protection rules of your home jurisdiction. Where a contract has an international element, the applicable rules on jurisdiction continue to apply for the benefit of consumers.

We would always prefer to resolve a disagreement directly. If you have a complaint, please contact us first at [email protected] or +44 (0)1344 649400 with the details, and we will try to reach a resolution within a reasonable period. If we cannot, UK consumers can seek free advice from Citizens Advice or from their local Trading Standards service. We will tell you whether we are willing to use a certified alternative dispute resolution provider. We are not obliged to participate in alternative dispute resolution, and where we do not, the ordinary courts remain available to you.
