Legal Information

Last updated: 2 November 2026

1. About this Legal Notice

This Legal Notice explains who operates this website, what statutory and trading information we are required to publish, and the rules that apply when you visit or use any part of the site. It is written in plain English and should be read alongside the other policies listed in section 9.

We publish this page because the law of the United Kingdom requires commercial websites operated by companies to make certain information readily, directly and permanently accessible to visitors. The main sources of those duties are the Companies Act 2006, the Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015, the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, and, where personal data or cookies are involved, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).

Why this page is separate from our Terms and Conditions

Our Terms and Conditions govern the contractual relationship between you and us. This Legal Notice is different: it is a transparency notice. It tells you who you are dealing with, where that organisation is registered, how to reach it, what it is responsible for, and which rules apply to the material published here. If anything in this Legal Notice appears to conflict with a mandatory statutory right you hold as a consumer, your statutory right prevails.

Plain-language commitment

We avoid legal jargon wherever a short sentence will do the same job. Where we use a technical term, we explain it the first time it appears. Nothing on this page is intended to mislead you, to disguise the identity of the operator, or to limit rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

2. Who we are and what we do

Identity of the website operator

This website is owned and operated by joltyra. Unless a specific page says otherwise, joltyra is the sole operator of the site, the publisher of all editorial material on it and the organisation responsible for any goods, services or digital content offered through it.

We are an independent audiovisual production resource. Our editorial work is aimed at professionals and serious enthusiasts working in television, broadcast, live events and related technical fields.

What this website covers

The site is an informative resource dedicated to audiovisual production excellence. Its subject matter includes broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering, and streamlined workflows for television networks and live events. We publish explanatory material, technical overviews, equipment and workflow guidance, and general best-practice information.

We are not a broadcaster, a licensor of broadcast spectrum, a manufacturer of the equipment described, or a substitute for a qualified technical consultant working on your specific project. Nothing published here is professional engineering, electrical, structural, health and safety or legal advice for a particular installation.

3. Legal form, registration details and tax identifiers

Legal form and place of registration

joltyra operates as a private limited company. The company is registered in England and Wales. Its affairs are managed by its directors, who are responsible for the content published on this website and for compliance with the disclosures set out in this notice.

Statutory disclosures we publish

Under the Companies Act 2006 and the Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (Names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2015, a company must disclose its registered name, its company registration number, the part of the United Kingdom in which it is registered, and its registered office address on its websites and business communications. Under the E-Commerce Regulations 2002, a commercial website must also give its name, a geographic address, an email address and, where the operator is registered for value added tax, its VAT registration number. We meet each of those requirements as follows:

Registered name: joltyra
Company Registration Number: 03555097
Place of Registration: England and Wales
Registered Office: 3 Widdowson Close, Blenheim Industrial Estate, Bulwell, Nottingham NG6 8WB
VAT Registration Number: 477222243
Email: [email protected]
Telephone: 0115 977 0075

What each identifier means

The Company Registration Number is the unique number assigned to the company by the registrar of companies. It identifies the legal entity precisely and can be checked against the public register. The Place of Registration tells you which United Kingdom jurisdiction's company law governs the entity's registration and which registry maintains its file. The VAT Registration Number identifies the business for value added tax purposes; it is quoted on invoices and receipts and can be verified through the relevant tax authority's public validation service. The Registered Office is the official address to which formal legal correspondence must be delivered; it is a matter of public record and is not necessarily the place from which day-to-day work is carried out.

Licences, regulated activities and professional bodies

The editorial and informational activities carried out through this website are not reserved to a regulated profession in the United Kingdom. We do not claim membership of a statutory regulator that does not apply to us, and we do not display professional titles we are not entitled to use. Where an article touches on regulated work — for example electrical installation, structural alteration of a building, radio spectrum use or health and safety at work — that work must be carried out by a suitably competent and, where required, licensed contractor, and the applicable statutory approvals must be obtained from the relevant authority.

Where we process personal data we act as a data controller for the purposes of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and we comply with the data protection fee regime administered by the Information Commissioner's Office where it applies to us.

Responsible representatives

Requests relating to this Legal Notice, including requests concerning the accuracy of statutory information published here, should be addressed to the directors of joltyra using the contact route given in section 4. Formal legal service should be directed to the registered office address shown above.

4. Registered office and contact details

Our registered office is 3 Widdowson Close, Blenheim Industrial Estate, Bulwell, Nottingham NG6 8WB. This is the address at which formal notices, court documents and other legal correspondence should be served on the company.

You can reach us by email at [email protected] or by telephone on 0115 977 0075. This website also provides a contact page with an enquiry form, which is the quickest route for general questions about the material published here. If your enquiry relates to data protection, please mark it clearly so that it reaches the right person without delay.

We aim to acknowledge enquiries within a reasonable period during normal United Kingdom business hours, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. We do not guarantee an immediate response, and we are not able to provide emergency technical support through the general enquiry route.

5. Purpose, scope and intended audience of the website

The purpose of this website is to inform. It exists to collect, explain and contextualise practical knowledge about audiovisual production: how broadcast studios are planned, how camera control systems are configured, how lighting is arranged for camera and for an audience, how sound is captured, mixed and monitored, and how production workflows are organised so that television networks and live events run reliably.

Who the site is for

The content is written primarily for a United Kingdom audience and for people working in, or training for, technical production roles. It assumes a professional or semi-professional interest and a basic familiarity with production terminology. It is not directed at children, and it is not designed to collect personal information from children.

What the site is not

This site is not a marketplace, a job board, a broadcast service, or a provider of emergency or on-site technical support. Descriptions of equipment, techniques and workflows are general in nature and may not suit your venue, your power supply, your licensing position, your insurance requirements or your local fire and safety rules. You are responsible for obtaining site-specific advice before acting on anything you read here.

6. Access to the website and acceptable use

We provide access to this website free of charge for personal and internal business research use. Access is provided on an "as available" basis and we may change, suspend, withdraw or restrict any part of the site at any time, including where we need to carry out maintenance or where we consider that use of the site is unlawful or abusive.

When using this website you agree not to:

use the site in any way that breaches applicable law, including the Computer Misuse Act 1990 and data protection legislation;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers, its administration functions or any connected system;
introduce malicious code, viruses, automated scraping tools, denial-of-service traffic or any other harmful material or activity;
copy, republish, resell or systematically extract substantial parts of the content for commercial purposes without written permission;
remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or attribution notice;
misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organisation;
use the site to harass, defame or unlawfully discriminate against any person, or to publish content that is obscene, threatening or otherwise unlawful;
use the contact form to send unsolicited advertising, chain messages or bulk commercial communications.

Where you submit information through the contact form, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you are entitled to send it, and you agree that we may use it to respond to your enquiry in the manner described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Ownership and permitted use of content, trademarks and other intellectual property

All material on this website, including text, editorial structure, diagrams, layout, graphics, code and the selection and arrangement of content, is protected by copyright and by database rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and related legislation. Unless we say otherwise, the copyright and all other intellectual property rights in that material belong to joltyra or are licensed to us by their owners.

What you may do

You may view, download and print pages for your own personal reference or for internal use within your organisation. You may quote short extracts in discussion, teaching, review or reporting, provided the quotation is fair, accurate and accompanied by a clear acknowledgement of this website as the source. You may link to pages on this site in a way that does not suggest endorsement, partnership or sponsorship where none exists.

What you may not do

You may not reproduce substantial parts of the site, republish it as your own material, sell access to it, incorporate it into a paid course or product without written permission, or use automated tools to harvest its content. Trade names, logos, product names and brand marks referred to on this site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and descriptive purposes only. Their appearance here does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by or endorsement from the owner.

Reporting infringement

If you believe that material published on this website infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us with details of the work concerned, the address of the material on this site, an explanation of your rights and your contact details. We will review the notice promptly and, where it is well founded, remove or amend the material. We keep a record of notices received and of the action taken.

8. Accuracy, availability and proportionate limitations of liability

Accuracy

We take reasonable care to ensure that the information published on this website is accurate when it is written and that sources are credible. Technical practice moves quickly: standards, equipment firmware, licensing rules, safety guidance and pricing all change. Information may therefore become out of date, and we do not warrant that every page reflects the most recent position. You should verify anything critical with the manufacturer, the relevant standards body or a qualified professional before you rely on it.

Availability

We do not guarantee that the site will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or free from errors. We may suspend access for maintenance, upgrades or reasons outside our reasonable control, including failures of hosting providers, network operators or utilities.

Limits of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of revenue, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, damage to equipment, and indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website or from reliance on its content. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total liability arising out of or in connection with this website is limited to the greater of one hundred pounds sterling or the amount you have paid to us for the specific service to which the claim relates.

Nothing in this Legal Notice excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and related legislation are unaffected by anything written here.

9. Other policies that form part of your relationship with us

The following documents are separate pages on this website. They are referred to here in plain text so that you know they exist and can find them from the site navigation or by searching the site. Each one forms part of the set of terms that govern your use of this site:

Privacy Policy — explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, the lawful bases for processing, and how to exercise your rights under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Cookie Policy — explains the cookies and similar technologies used on this site, their purposes and durations, and how you can accept, refuse or withdraw consent using the site-wide cookie banner and your browser settings, in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003.
Terms and Conditions — sets out the contractual rules for using this website and for any service, subscription or digital content we may supply through it.
Payment and Refund Policy — where paid services or digital content are offered, explains accepted payment methods, billing, cancellation, refunds and your rights of cancellation, including rights that apply to consumers under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

If any of those documents change, the version published on this website at the time of your visit is the version that applies.

10. Data protection, cookies and electronic marketing

Where we collect personal data — for example when you send a message through the contact form — we do so as a data controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We collect only what we need to answer your enquiry, we keep it only as long as necessary for that purpose and for our legitimate record-keeping, and we apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it. We do not sell personal data.

You have the right to be informed, to access your data, to have inaccurate data corrected, to request erasure in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability where it applies. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data has been handled unlawfully. More detail, including retention periods and international transfer safeguards if any apply, is set out in our Privacy Policy.

This website uses a cookie banner so that non-essential cookies and similar technologies are only set after you have made a choice. Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the site to function and to remember your privacy preferences, are used on the basis of a legal exemption. Our Cookie Policy lists each category and explains how to change or withdraw your consent at any time.

We send electronic marketing only where we have a lawful basis to do so. If you are an individual subscriber we will ask for your consent; if you are a business contact we may rely on the soft opt-in or on legitimate interests in accordance with PECR. Every marketing message includes a simple way to opt out, and opting out of marketing does not prevent us from replying to a direct enquiry you have sent us.

11. External links and third-party content

This website may refer to or describe resources, standards, manufacturers, venues or events operated by other organisations. Links, references and third-party names are provided for information and identification only. We do not control external websites and we are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, privacy practices or compliance with the law.

Following an external link, or dealing with a third party you discover through this site, is at your own risk and is governed by that third party's own terms and policies. A reference on this site does not amount to an endorsement, a recommendation for your particular circumstances, or a statement that the third party is fit for any purpose. If you believe a link on this site points to unlawful material or to content that infringes your rights, please tell us and we will review it.

12. Applicable law, competent courts and consumer dispute rights

This Legal Notice, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or with the use of this website, is governed by the law of England and Wales. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute.

If you are a consumer, you benefit from any mandatory protections provided by the law of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live. Consumers resident in Scotland may bring proceedings in the Scottish courts, and consumers resident in Northern Ireland may bring proceedings in the courts of Northern Ireland. Nothing in this section deprives you of the right to bring a claim in your local courts where the law allows it.

Complaints and dispute resolution

If you are unhappy with anything connected to this website, please contact us first at [email protected] so that we have the opportunity to put things right. We will acknowledge your complaint and aim to respond substantively within a reasonable time. We are not currently required to participate in alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes, and we do not commit to doing so, but we will always consider a reasonable request to resolve a complaint through mediation or another appropriate route.

13. Changes to this Legal Notice

We review this Legal Notice regularly and may update it to reflect changes in the law, in our corporate details or in the way the website operates. The version published on this website at the time of your visit is the current version, and the "last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was most recently revised. Where a change is significant — for example a change to the identity of the operator, the place of registration or the registered office — we will draw attention to it on the site.

Continued use of the website after an update takes effect indicates that you accept the revised notice. If you do not agree with a revision, you should stop using the site.
