These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the supply of audio-visual design, consultancy, equipment supply and installation services (the "Services") by Resi AV T/A J.G. Electrical Ltd of 91 Nettlecombe, Bracknell, England, RG12 0UH, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 03710472 ("Resi AV", "we", "us" or "our"), to any person or organisation that engages us ("Customer", "you" or "your"). Our VAT registration number is 720603967. By accepting a quotation, signing an order form, or instructing us to proceed with any Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Definitions and Interpretation
1.1 "Business Customer" means a Customer acting for purposes relating to their trade, business, craft or profession, including developers, architects, interior designers, installers, retailers and other commercial entities.
1.2 "Consumer" means an individual acting wholly or mainly outside their trade, business, craft or profession, as defined by the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
1.3 "Contract" means the agreement between Resi AV and the Customer for the supply of Goods and/or Services, comprising the Quotation, these Terms, and any Order Confirmation.
1.4 "Goods" means any equipment, hardware, cabling, fixtures or other physical items supplied by Resi AV, whether manufactured by us or a third party.
1.5 "Services" means design, consultancy, project management, installation, configuration, calibration, programming, maintenance and support services supplied by Resi AV.
1.6 "Site" means the premises at which the Services are to be performed or Goods delivered/installed.
1.7 "Order Confirmation" means our written acceptance of an order, whether by email, signed contract, or online confirmation.
1.8 "Working Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in England and Wales.
1.9 Headings are for convenience only. References to legislation include any amendment, re-enactment or replacement of it.
2. Who These Terms Apply To
2.1 These Terms apply to both Business Customers and Consumers. Certain clauses apply only to Consumers (in particular the statutory cancellation and consumer rights provisions in Sections 8 and 11), and are marked accordingly. Where a clause conflicts with a Consumer's non-excludable statutory rights, the statutory right prevails.
2.2 These Terms apply to Customers based in, and Sites located in, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Section 24 (Governing Law and Jurisdiction) sets out how the applicable law and forum differ depending on where you are based.
2.3 If you are contracting on behalf of a company or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
3. Enquiries, Surveys and Quotations
3.1 Quotations are prepared based on information provided by the Customer and, where applicable, a site survey.
3.2 Quotations are valid for the period stated on the Quotation, or if none is stated, for 30 days from the date of issue, after which they may be revised to reflect changes in product pricing, exchange rates or site conditions.
3.3 A site survey may be required before a firm Quotation can be issued, particularly for bespoke installation projects (e.g. home cinema rooms, structured cabling, multi-room audio). Any budgetary estimate given before a survey is indicative only.
3.4 Quotations for bespoke or made-to-order Goods (including custom joinery, bespoke cabling runs, or products configured to the Customer's specification) will identify those items as bespoke, as this affects cancellation rights under Section 8.
4. Orders and Formation of Contract
4.1 A Contract is formed when Resi AV issues an Order Confirmation, or when we begin performing the Services with the Customer's knowledge, whichever is earlier. No Contract is formed by the mere provision of a Quotation.
4.2 The Customer is responsible for checking that the Order Confirmation accurately reflects the Goods, Services, specification, pricing and timescales agreed, and must notify us promptly of any discrepancy.
4.3 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, illustrations or renders produced by Resi AV are for general guidance only and do not form part of the Contract unless expressly incorporated by reference in the Order Confirmation.
5. Prices, Payment and Deposits
5.1 All prices are stated in pounds sterling (or euros, where agreed for EU Sites) and, for Consumers, are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate. For Business Customers, prices are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise, and VAT will be added at the rate applicable at the tax point.
5.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due as follows:
5.2.1 a deposit of 50% of the total Contract price or the total cost of equipment which on acceptance of the Quotation, to secure scheduling and order equipment;
5.2.2 interim payments at the milestones set out in the Order Confirmation (e.g. on completion of first fix cabling, or on delivery of major equipment);
5.2.3 the balance on practical completion of the Services, or on delivery of Goods where no installation is included.
5.3 Late payment by a Business Customer will accrue statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 at the applicable rate, together with compensation for recovery costs, unless a different rate is agreed in writing.
5.4 Late payment by a Consumer may accrue interest at [4]% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from the due date until paid, calculated daily, provided this is proportionate and reasonable in the circumstances.
5.5 Resi AV reserves the right to suspend Services or delivery if any payment is overdue, without liability for any resulting delay, subject to giving reasonable notice.
5.6 Where a project is quoted on a time-and-materials basis, invoices will be accompanied by a reasonable breakdown of time and materials on request.
6. Site Access, Surveys and Installation Works
6.1 The Customer must provide safe, timely and unrestricted access to the Site for surveys, deliveries and installation works, including reasonable access to power, network connectivity, parking and welfare facilities where required.
6.2 The Customer is responsible for ensuring the Site is structurally suitable for the intended installation (including wall and ceiling fixings for mounted equipment) and for obtaining any necessary consents, including landlord consent, listed building consent, or planning permission, before work begins. Resi AV is not liable for delay or additional cost arising from the Customer's failure to obtain such consents.
6.3 Where other trades (e.g. builders, electricians, decorators) are working on Site concurrently, the Customer is responsible for coordinating access and sequencing unless Resi AV has expressly agreed to act as principal contractor.
6.4 Estimated installation dates are given in good faith but are not guaranteed unless expressly stated as a fixed date in the Order Confirmation. Resi AV is not liable for delays caused by factors outside its reasonable control, including third-party trades, structural issues discovered on Site, or Customer-requested changes.
6.5 The Customer must remove or protect valuable, fragile or sentimental items from the work area. Resi AV will take reasonable care of the Site and will make good any damage it causes to decoration directly resulting from the installation, but is not responsible for pre-existing defects or wear and tear.
7. Delivery, Risk and Title
7.1 Delivery dates are estimates only. Time is not of the essence unless expressly agreed in writing.
7.2 Risk in Goods passes to the Customer on delivery (for supply-only orders) or on installation (where Resi AV installs the Goods), except that for Consumers, risk in goods sent by carrier remains with Resi AV until the Consumer or a person nominated by the Consumer takes physical possession of them, in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
7.3 Title to Goods does not pass to the Customer until Resi AV has received payment in full for those Goods and any other sums then due. Until title passes, the Customer must keep the Goods separately identifiable as Resi AV's property, and Resi AV may enter the Site to recover unpaid Goods on reasonable notice.
7.4 Where the Customer supplies their own equipment for Resi AV to install or integrate, Resi AV accepts no liability for the performance, safety or compatibility of that equipment, and will advise the Customer in advance if it considers the equipment unsuitable.
8. Consumer Cancellation Rights (Cooling-Off Period) — Consumers Only
8.1 If you are a Consumer and the Contract was concluded off-premises (for example, during a home visit or survey) or at a distance (for example, by phone, email or through our website), you have a statutory right to cancel the Contract within 14 days, without giving any reason, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
8.1.1 The cancellation period expires 14 days after the day the Contract is entered into (for Services) or 14 days after you (or a person you nominate) take physical possession of the last Goods (for supply-only orders).
8.1.2 To cancel, you must inform us of your decision by a clear statement (e.g. by letter, email, or using the cancellation form we provide with your Order Confirmation) before the cancellation period expires.
8.1.3 If you cancel, we will reimburse all payments received from you, including standard delivery costs, within 14 days of being informed of your decision, using the same payment method you used, unless you agree otherwise.
8.2 This statutory cancellation right does not apply to:
8.2.1 Goods made to your specification or clearly personalised (for example, bespoke cabinetry, custom-cut cabling looms, or equipment configured specifically for your Site);
8.2.2 Contracts concluded entirely on Resi AV's business premises (e.g. a showroom visit with no follow-up home survey forming part of the sale process);
8.2.3 Services which have been fully performed, if performance began with your prior express consent and acknowledgement that you would lose the right to cancel once the Service was complete.
8.3 If you expressly request that installation work begin during the 14-day cancellation period and then cancel, you will be charged a reasonable amount for the Services provided up to the point you told us you wished to cancel, calculated in proportion to what has been performed compared with the full Contract, plus the cost of any bespoke materials already ordered on your behalf.
8.4 We will provide the statutory Cancellation Form and full pre-contract information (our identity, total price, delivery arrangements and cancellation rights) before any off-premises or distance Contract is concluded, as required by the 2013 Regulations.
9. Business Customer Cancellation and Variation
9.1 The statutory cancellation right in Section 8 does not apply to Business Customers. Once a Contract is formed, a Business Customer may only cancel with Resi AV's written agreement.
9.2 If Resi AV agrees to cancellation, the Business Customer will be liable for all costs reasonably incurred up to the date of cancellation, including non-cancellable orders for bespoke or special-order equipment, and a reasonable allowance for lost profit on the cancelled Contract.
9.3 Deposits paid by Business Customers are non-refundable to the extent they have been applied to costs already committed (e.g. equipment ordered, subcontractors booked).
10. Changes and Variations to the Works
10.1 Either party may request a variation to the agreed scope. No variation is binding until confirmed in writing (including by email), setting out any change to price and timescale.
10.2 Where a Customer-requested variation affects equipment already ordered or work already completed, the Customer will be responsible for any associated restocking fees, wasted labour, or additional materials cost.
10.3 If unforeseen conditions are discovered on Site (for example, inadequate existing wiring, structural obstructions, or asbestos-containing materials) that require additional work, Resi AV will notify the Customer and agree a variation before proceeding, save where immediate action is required for safety.
11. Consumer Rights Act 2015 — Statutory Rights — Consumers Only
11.1 Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a Consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Goods supplied must be as described, of satisfactory quality, fit for any particular purpose made known to us, and installation Services must be carried out with reasonable care and skill, at a reasonable price (if not agreed) and within a reasonable time (if not agreed).
11.2 If Goods are faulty, you may generally be entitled to:
11.2.1 a repair or replacement, and if that is not possible or does not resolve the issue within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience, a price reduction or a full refund;
11.2.2 reject faulty Goods and obtain a full refund within the first 30 days from delivery in most cases.
11.3 If Services do not match what was agreed or are not performed with reasonable care and skill, you are entitled to require Resi AV to repeat the Service at no extra cost, or to a price reduction if repeat performance is not possible or not done within a reasonable time.
11.4 These statutory rights are in addition to, and are not limited by, any manufacturer warranty or the guarantee terms in Section 12.
12. Warranties and Guarantees
12.1 Subject to Sections 12.2 and 12.3, Resi AV warrants that installation workmanship will be free from defects for a period of [12] months from the date of practical completion (the "Workmanship Warranty").
12.2 The Workmanship Warranty does not cover: (a) faults in equipment itself, which are covered by the relevant manufacturer's warranty; (b) damage caused by misuse, unauthorised modification, or third-party interference with the installation; (c) faults caused by the Customer's own network, electrical supply, or third-party equipment not supplied by Resi AV; or (d) reasonable wear and tear.
12.3 Where equipment is covered by a manufacturer's warranty, Resi AV will reasonably assist the Customer in making a claim under that warranty but is not itself the guarantor of the manufacturer's obligations, except to the extent Resi AV separately agrees to act as the Customer's authorised repair agent.
12.4 This Section does not limit or exclude any statutory rights available to Consumers under Section 11.
13. Manufacturer Products and Third-Party Software
13.1 Certain Goods incorporate third-party software, firmware, cloud services or subscriptions (for example, control system platforms, streaming services, or licensing for AV control software) which are subject to the relevant manufacturer's or provider's own end-user licence terms. The Customer is responsible for reviewing and accepting those terms directly.
13.2 Where ongoing subscriptions are required for full system functionality (for example, control system cloud licences), Resi AV will identify these at the point of quotation, but is not responsible for price changes, discontinuation, or service interruption caused by the third-party provider.
13.3 Resi AV does not guarantee that any product will remain supported, updated or compatible with future software or operating system releases beyond the manufacturer's own published support lifecycle.
14. Intellectual Property
14.1 All designs, drawings, system schematics, programming code, control system configurations and other materials created by Resi AV in connection with the Services remain the intellectual property of Resi AV, whether or not the Customer has paid for the associated design time.
14.2 On payment in full, Resi AV grants the Customer a non-exclusive, perpetual licence to use any such materials and system programming for the purpose of operating, maintaining and repairing the installed system at the Site, but not to reproduce or exploit them commercially or at another site without Resi AV's written consent.
14.3 The Customer grants Resi AV a licence to use photographs and general (non-confidential) descriptions of completed installations for marketing purposes, unless the Customer opts out in writing before or within a reasonable time after completion.
15. Data Protection and Privacy
15.1 Each party will comply with applicable data protection law, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 and, where the Customer or Site is located in the EU, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), in each case as amended, re-enacted or replaced from time to time (including by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and any related UK reforms).
15.2 Resi AV acts as a data controller for personal data collected to quote, contract, deliver and invoice the Services (such as Customer contact details and Site information), and will process it in accordance with our Privacy Notice, available at
[www.resiav.co.uk/privacy], which forms part of these Terms by reference.
15.3 Where Resi AV installs internet-connected or smart-home equipment capable of collecting data about the Customer's household (e.g. usage analytics, cameras, voice control), Resi AV will explain the relevant privacy settings at handover, but responsibility for ongoing privacy configuration rests with the Customer as the operator of the system.
15.4 Where personal data is transferred outside the UK or EEA (for example, to a manufacturer's cloud platform hosted overseas), Resi AV will only do so, or permit a manufacturer to do so, where an adequate safeguard applies, such as an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses / the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
15.5 For Business Customers, if Resi AV processes personal data on the Customer's behalf as a data processor (for example, monitoring data from a commercial AV system), the parties will enter into a separate data processing agreement incorporating the standard clauses required by Article 28 UK/EU GDPR.
16. Confidentiality
16.1 Each party will keep confidential any non-public information disclosed by the other in connection with the Contract (including pricing, system designs, security codes and access arrangements), and will use it only for the purposes of performing the Contract.
16.2 This obligation does not apply to information that is or becomes public other than through breach of this clause, or that a party is required to disclose by law or regulation.
17. Insurance and Health & Safety
17.1 Resi AV holds public liability insurance of not less than £2,500,000.00 and copies are available upon request.
17.2 Resi AV will carry out Services in compliance with applicable health and safety legislation, including (where relevant) the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. The Customer will provide any relevant health and safety information about the Site (e.g. known asbestos, structural hazards) before work begins.
17.3 Working at height, electrical works, and structural fixings will only be carried out by appropriately qualified personnel, whether employed directly by Resi AV or engaged as subcontractors under Section 21.
18. Limitation of Liability
18.1 Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits Resi AV's liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including, for Consumers, liability for breach of the statutory rights described in Section 11).
18.2 Subject to Section 18.1, and to the extent permitted by law:
18.2.1 as against Business Customers, Resi AV's total liability arising out of or in connection with the Contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, will not exceed the total price paid or payable under the relevant Contract;
18.2.2 as against Business Customers, Resi AV will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, business, anticipated savings, or data;
18.2.3 as against Consumers, Resi AV is liable only for foreseeable loss and damage caused by its failure to comply with these Terms or by its negligence, and will not be liable for losses that are not a foreseeable result of such a failure.
18.3 Where a Business Customer supplies its own equipment, network infrastructure, or specifications for Resi AV to work to, Resi AV is not liable for defects or failures caused by that equipment, infrastructure or specification.
18.4 For Consumers, the limitations in this Section apply only to the extent fair and reasonable, and do not affect your right to bring a claim under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other non-excludable consumer protection law.
19. Indemnity
19.1 A Business Customer will indemnify Resi AV against any claim, loss, liability or cost arising from the Customer's breach of these Terms, provision of inaccurate Site information, or unauthorised modification of the installed system by the Customer or a third party.
19.2 This Section does not apply to Consumers to the extent it would be an unfair term under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
20. Force Majeure
20.1 Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, fire, flood, extreme weather, war, civil unrest, epidemic, government action, supply chain shortages, import/export restrictions, transport disruption, or failure of third-party utilities or telecommunications networks.
20.2 If a force majeure event continues for more than [60] days, either party may terminate the affected Contract on written notice, in which case the Customer will pay for Goods and Services already supplied and non-cancellable committed costs.
21. Subcontractors and Assignment
21.1 Resi AV may engage suitably qualified subcontractors to perform any part of the Services (for example, electrical, structural or decorating work), and remains responsible for their performance as if carried out by Resi AV directly.
21.2 The Customer may not assign, transfer or subcontract its rights or obligations under the Contract without Resi AV's prior written consent, save that a Consumer may transfer the benefit of any Workmanship Warranty to a subsequent owner of the property, subject to Resi AV's reasonable administrative requirements.
21.3 Resi AV may assign or transfer the Contract, or any of its rights and obligations, to another entity carrying on the same business (for example, in the event of a sale, merger or reorganisation), provided this does not materially reduce the Customer's rights under the Contract.
22. Termination
22.1 Either party may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by written notice if the other party:
22.1.1 commits a material breach of the Contract which is not remedied within 14 days of written notice to do so;
22.1.2 becomes insolvent, enters administration or liquidation, or has an equivalent process commenced against it.
22.2 On termination, the Customer will pay for all Goods and Services supplied up to the date of termination, together with any non-cancellable costs reasonably incurred by Resi AV, without prejudice to either party's accrued rights and remedies (including a Consumer's statutory cancellation rights under Section 8, where applicable).
23. Complaints and Alternative Dispute Resolution
23.1 If you have a complaint, please contact us in the first instance at
complaints@resiav.co.uk so that we can try to resolve the matter directly.
23.2 If you are a Consumer and we are unable to resolve a complaint directly, you may refer the dispute to an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider approved for the relevant sector. We are obliged to use this ADR scheme, but will confirm our position on request, as required by the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015.
23.3 If you are an EU-based Consumer, you may also be able to use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform where available for cross-border disputes, or the equivalent consumer complaints body in your country of residence.
24. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
24.1 These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes), are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
24.2 Jurisdiction:
24.2.1 if you are a Business Customer, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute;
24.2.2 if you are a Consumer resident in the UK, disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the UK in which you live;
24.2.3 if you are a Consumer resident in an EU member state, you will benefit from any mandatory protections of the consumer-protection law of your country of habitual residence, which these Terms do not affect, and you may bring proceedings either in England and Wales or in the courts of your own country of residence, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
25. General Provisions
25.1 Entire agreement: The Contract (Quotation, these Terms and the Order Confirmation) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior discussions, save for any fraudulent misrepresentation.
25.2 Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
25.3 Waiver: A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to do so later.
25.4 Notices: Notices under the Contract must be given in writing by email or post to the addresses in the Order Confirmation, and are deemed received the next Working Day (email) or two Working Days after posting (UK post) or five Working Days (international post).
25.5 Third-party rights: No one other than a party to the Contract has any right to enforce any of its terms, save that a subsequent property owner may enforce a transferred Workmanship Warranty as described in Section 21.2.
25.6 Changes to these Terms: Resi AV may update these Terms from time to time; the version in force at the date the Contract is formed will apply to that Contract.
Privacy
Resi AV ("Resi AV", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data when you enquire about, purchase, or receive our audio-visual design, consultancy, equipment supply and installation services, when you visit our website, or when we install or maintain systems at your property.
This Notice applies to both business contacts and individual consumers, and to customers and Sites based in the United Kingdom and the European Union. It should be read alongside our Terms and Conditions.
1. Who We Are
Resi AV is the data controller responsible for your personal data. Our details are:
Registered company: Resi AV
Registered address: 91 Nettlecombe, Bracknell, England, RG12 0UH
Company number: 03710472
Email: privacy@resiav.co.uk
If you are based in the EU, and where required by Article 27 EU GDPR, we will appoint an EU representative; their contact details will be added here once appointed:
2. Scope of This Notice
This Notice covers personal data we process about: prospective and existing customers (business and consumer); individuals at Sites where we carry out surveys, installation or maintenance work; visitors to our website; and other individuals we deal with in the course of business (e.g. contacts at supplier or subcontractor organisations).
It does not cover the data-handling practices of manufacturers, cloud platform providers or other third parties whose products we install — please refer to their own privacy notices, which we will point you to where relevant.
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Enquiry, contract and customer data
● Name, job title and organisation (for Business Customers)
● Contact details: address, email, telephone
● Enquiry and project details, including your requirements and preferences
● Payment and billing details (we do not store full card numbers — these are processed by our payment provider)
● Correspondence and call records relating to your enquiry or project
3.2 Site and project data
● Site address, floor plans, photographs and survey notes
● Details of existing wiring, network and electrical infrastructure
● Access arrangements (e.g. alarm codes, key safe details, parking instructions) which you provide for the purpose of carrying out the work
3.3 Installed system and smart-home data
Where we install internet-connected or smart-home equipment (for example, control systems, networked audio, cameras, or voice-controlled devices), we may, strictly for the purposes of installation, configuration, testing and fault-finding, have temporary access to system settings, network credentials, and diagnostic data generated by the installed equipment. We do not access ongoing household usage data (such as viewing habits, recorded footage, or voice recordings) once handover is complete, unless you separately engage us for remote monitoring or support and expressly consent to that access.
3.4 Website and marketing data
● Technical data such as IP address, browser type and device information, collected via cookies and similar technologies (see Section 12)
● Marketing preferences and engagement with our emails or website, where you have opted in
3.5 Special category data
We do not intentionally collect special category data (such as health data). If access requirements you share with us incidentally reveal such information (for example, a request for step-free access), we will use it only to accommodate that request and will not process it for any other purpose.
4. How We Collect Information
We collect personal data directly from you (via our website, phone, email or in person), from Site surveys and installation work, from publicly available sources (e.g. Companies House for Business Customers), and occasionally from third parties such as architects, developers or interior designers who introduce you to us with your consent.
5. How and Why We Use Your Information
The table below sets out our main processing activities, the lawful basis we rely on under Article 6 UK/EU GDPR, and (where applicable) the specific legitimate interest pursued. Where we rely on one of the narrow list of "recognised legitimate interests" introduced by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (for example, safeguarding or crime prevention), we will identify this specifically; for all other legitimate interests we carry out a documented balancing assessment.
6. Automated Decision-Making
We do not currently use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you without human involvement. If this changes (for example, automated credit or fraud checks), we will update this Notice, explain the logic involved in plain terms, and confirm your right to request human review of, and to contest, any such decision.
7. Who We Share Your Information With
We share personal data only where necessary, and with appropriate safeguards, with:
● Subcontractors and installation partners engaged to help deliver the Services (e.g. electricians, structural specialists), who are contractually required to protect your data;
● Equipment manufacturers and their cloud/software platforms, where system registration, licensing or warranty support requires it (e.g. control system providers, streaming platforms);
● Payment processors and our accountants/bookkeepers, for billing and tax purposes;
● Our professional advisers (solicitors, insurers) where necessary for legal or insurance purposes;
● IT and website service providers who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements;
● Regulators, law enforcement or other authorities, where we are legally required to do so.
We do not sell your personal data. Where a third-party processor processes data on our behalf, we have a written contract in place incorporating the standard clauses required by Article 28 UK/EU GDPR.
8. International Transfers
Some of the manufacturers, cloud platforms and IT providers we use may store or process data outside the UK and EEA (for example, in the United States). Where this occurs, we ensure an appropriate safeguard is in place, such as:
● an adequacy decision by the UK Government or European Commission in respect of the destination country; or
● Standard Contractual Clauses (and, for UK transfers, the International Data Transfer Addendum), together with a transfer risk assessment.
A list of the specific countries and safeguards used is available on request from
9. How We Protect Your Information
We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, including access controls, encryption of sensitive data in transit, staff training, and secure disposal of Site documentation. In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights, we will notify the ICO (and, where relevant, the appropriate EU supervisory authority) within 72 hours where required, and will notify you directly where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you.
10. How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected. Typical retention periods are:
Data type
Typical retention period
Quotations and enquiries that do not proceed
[2] years from last contact

12. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Following the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 changes to the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), in force from 5 February 2026, we do not need your consent for cookies used solely for:
● statistical analytics, where the data is used only by us to understand site usage and is not shared for advertising purposes;
● remembering your display/accessibility preferences (e.g. font size, colour scheme);
● providing emergency assistance based on your location, where relevant.
For all other non-essential cookies — including advertising, retargeting, and any analytics cookie that also feeds an advertising platform — we ask for your consent via a cookie banner when you first visit our site, and you can change your preferences at any time. A full list of the cookies we use, their purpose and duration, is set out in our cookie table at that link.
Where we use third-party tools (analytics providers, tag managers, advertising platforms) that place cookies via our site, we take responsibility for ensuring those tools are covered by this Notice and our consent mechanism, in line with the expanded scope of PECR under the 2025 Act.
13. Children's Information
Our Services are provided to adults responsible for their household or business. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children. Where installed systems are used by children in a family home (for example, a smart speaker or media system), the account holder is responsible for configuring appropriate parental controls and privacy settings; we can advise on these at handover.
14. How to Complain
