Legal Information

Last updated: 29 October 2026.

1. About This Legal Information Page

This page sets out the legal information that applies to this website and to the organisation that operates it. It is published so that visitors, customers, suppliers and regulators can identify the operator of this site, understand the legal basis on which the site is made available, and locate the policies that govern its use. It is intended to be a single, durable reference point for the formal information that United Kingdom law expects a commercial website to display.

The disclosures on this page are made in line with the obligations that apply to commercial websites in the United Kingdom, including the disclosure requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, the Data Protection Act 2018, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). Where any of these rules change, this page will be updated.

2. Identity of the Website Operator

The website is operated by an organisation that publishes educational and informational material about audiovisual production. In these pages the operator is referred to as currentiva. currentiva is the entity responsible for the editorial content of the site, for the technical operation of the site, and for the way in which personal data submitted through the site is handled.

Unless a specific page states otherwise, all content published here is produced or commissioned by currentiva. Where third-party material is reproduced or embedded, that fact is identified in the relevant place, and the rights of the original owner are respected.

Where the website allows visitors to submit questions, requests or enquiries, those submissions are received by currentiva, and any response that is sent is sent on behalf of currentiva.

3. Legal Form, Registration Details, Tax Identifiers and Responsible Representatives

currentiva operates through a corporate entity established in the United Kingdom. The formal identifiers that the law requires a company to display on its website, business letters, order forms and electronic communications are set out below.

Company Name: currentiva
Legal Form: Private limited company, incorporated in England and Wales
Company Registration Number: 03555097
Place of Registration: England and Wales
VAT Registration Number: 477222243
Registered Office Address: 1 Fairview Cottages, Beehive Road, Binfield, RG12 8TS, UK
Publication Email: contact@dramabydesign.com
Publication Telephone: +44 1344 649400

These details correspond to the information about the operator that is available from the United Kingdom register of companies. If you suspect that any of them has changed and has not yet been reflected here, please tell us using the contact route described in section 14, and we will correct the page promptly.

The individuals who act as company officers, directors or designated representatives of currentiva are accountable for the accuracy of the disclosures made on this page. Correspondence that concerns the legal identity of the operator, the accuracy of the register entries, or the formal notices described in this document may be addressed to the operator at the contact details given in section 4.

3.1 Tax and licensing identifiers

currentiva is registered for United Kingdom Value Added Tax, and the Vat Registration Number shown above must be quoted on invoices and receipts that we issue. Certain services connected with audiovisual production and live events can require additional authorisations, permits or insurance cover. Where such authorisations apply to work that we carry out, evidence of them can be provided on request, and the relevant registration or authorisation schemes are identified in the individual contract or quotation rather than on this general page.

3.2 Company register commitments

As a company registered in England and Wales, currentiva maintains statutory registers and files the accounts and confirmation statements that the Companies Act 2006 requires. Information filed at the register of companies is publicly available, and the register entry may be consulted to verify the registration number, the registered office and the current officers of the company.

4. Registered Office and Available Contact Details

The registered office of currentiva is the address at which formal legal documents, court papers and statutory notices may be served on the company. The registered office address is published on this page and in the footer of the site, using the operator's current address record.

Registered Office Address: 1 Fairview Cottages, Beehive Road, Binfield, RG12 8TS, UK
Email Address: contact@dramabydesign.com
Telephone Number: +44 1344 649400

The registered office is not ordinarily a place at which visitors can turn up without an appointment, and it should not be used for correspondence that is unrelated to the company's legal affairs. Where a different address is used for deliveries, for service of notices under a particular contract, or for a specific business activity, that address is stated in the relevant contract, quotation or correspondence.

We use the contact details above for enquiries about the content of this site, for notices concerning intellectual property, for complaints, and for requests made under the data protection legislation. We aim to acknowledge formal enquiries within a reasonable working period and to respond substantively once the relevant records have been reviewed.

5. Purpose, Scope and Intended Audience of the Website

This website is an informational and educational resource devoted to audiovisual production. It is written for people who design, build, operate or commission professional broadcast studios; who work with camera control, robotics and vision mixing systems; who plan and rig professional lighting for studio and stage; who record, mix and process sound; and who manage the technical and editorial workflows that allow television networks and live events to be delivered reliably.

The material published here is general in nature. It describes established practice, common equipment categories, typical design considerations and workflow approaches. It is not a substitute for a site-specific risk assessment, for the manufacturer's own documentation, for structural, electrical or fire-safety advice, or for the professional judgement of a qualified engineer who has inspected the venue concerned. Nothing on this site is a commercial quotation, a binding specification or a guarantee that a particular technique will achieve a particular result in a particular building or on a particular production.

The audience is international, but the site is operated in English and is aimed at users who are located in the United Kingdom and who transact on commercial terms governed by the law of England and Wales. Where we refer to statutory provisions, those references are to United Kingdom legislation unless we say otherwise.

6. Access to the Website and Acceptable Use

Access to this site is permitted on a temporary basis. We reserve the right to withdraw, suspend or change any part of the site, and any material published on it, without notice, including where maintenance, security or legal reasons make that necessary. We do not guarantee that the site, or any individual page, will always be available.

You may read, view, print and download material from this site for your own internal, non-commercial reference or for legitimate professional study, provided that you keep intact all copyright and attribution notices. You must not:

copy, reproduce, republish, sell, rent, sub-licence or otherwise make the content available to third parties for commercial purposes without our written consent;
use automated systems, scrapers, crawlers or bulk-download tools to extract content from the site in a way that places unreasonable load on our infrastructure;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, to the server on which it is hosted, or to any connected system or database;
introduce viruses, malicious code, trojans, worms or any other harmful material, or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the site;
use the site in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, misleading, defamatory, discriminatory or that infringes the rights of any other person;
remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice displayed on the site.

If we consider that your use of the site breaches these rules, we may take such technical, contractual or legal steps as we consider appropriate, including blocking access, withdrawing access rights and reporting conduct to the relevant authorities.

7. Intellectual Property, Trademarks and Permitted Use of Content

All intellectual property rights in this website and in the material published on it, including text, diagrams, photographs, illustrations, layout, page design, source code and the selection and arrangement of content, belong to currentiva or are used under licence from the relevant rights holder. Those rights are protected by copyright, database right, design right and trademark law in the United Kingdom and by equivalent laws elsewhere.

The name currentiva, together with any associated logos, wordmarks, product names and service descriptions, are trademarks or trade names of the operator or of its licensors. Nothing on this site grants any licence or right to use those marks, and they may not be reproduced without prior written permission, except for the purpose of referring accurately to the operator or to the subject matter to which they relate.

Where the site displays the trade names of manufacturers, broadcasters, venues or other companies, those names remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and descriptive purposes only. Their appearance does not imply any endorsement of this site by those owners, nor any endorsement by us of their products or services, unless we say so explicitly.

If you believe that material published here infringes your intellectual property rights, please contact us with a description of the work concerned, the location on the site, and evidence of your rights, and we will investigate promptly.

8. Accuracy, Availability and Limits of Our Liability

We take reasonable care to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date, but technical practice in audiovisual production changes quickly, and equipment, standards and best practice evolve. The content is therefore provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranty, whether express or implied, that the content is complete, current, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, currentiva excludes liability for any loss or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with the use of this site or reliance on its content, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, or any indirect or consequential loss. Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our liability is limited to the amount that the law allows, and, where the site is used free of charge, to a nominal sum.

Nothing in this page limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Nothing in this page affects your statutory rights where you deal with us as a consumer, and in particular it does not affect rights that the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and related legislation give you.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or secure access to the site. Access may be interrupted by factors outside our control, including network failures, hosting outages and maintenance, and we are not liable for any interruption of that kind.

9. Third-Party Content, External Links and Embedded Media

The site may from time to time contain links to websites, resources, documents or services provided by third parties, and may embed media such as video or audio hosted by third-party platforms. Such links and embeds are provided for information and convenience only. We do not control those third-party resources and we accept no responsibility for their content, for their availability, for their accuracy, for their security practices or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

When you follow a link to a third-party site, you leave this site and become subject to the terms and privacy practices of that third party. We recommend that you review those terms and policies before providing any personal data. Viewing embedded media may result in data being shared with the platform that hosts it, as explained further in section 10.

Any reference on this site to a third-party product, service or supplier is not an endorsement, and you should satisfy yourself as to the suitability of any such product or service before relying on it.

10. Data Protection, Cookies and Electronic Marketing

The operation of this site involves the collection and use of personal data, and it is subject to the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and PECR. currentiva is the data controller for the purposes of those laws, meaning that we determine why and how personal data collected through the site is used.

10.1 Transparency obligations

When you provide personal data through the contact form, through an enquiry, through a subscription to any mailing list, or automatically as you browse, you are entitled to be told the identity and contact details of the controller, the purposes and lawful basis for the processing, the categories of data concerned, the recipients or categories of recipient of the data, the retention period or the criteria used to determine it, and the rights that the law gives you. Those rights include the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restriction of processing, the right to object, and the right to data portability where it applies.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office, which is the supervisory authority for the United Kingdom. Where we rely on consent for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time, and where we rely on legitimate interests, you may object to the processing. Where you provide data that is necessary for us to answer an enquiry or to perform a contract, we may be unable to proceed if you do not provide it.

10.2 Personal data we collect

The personal data collected through the site is limited to what is needed to answer an enquiry, to operate a customer relationship, to secure the site and to understand how it is used. This typically includes your name, your contact details and the content of your message when you use the contact form, together with technical data such as your internet protocol address and information about your device and browser. Visitor contact details supplied by you inside a form are used only to respond to you and for related administrative purposes.

10.3 Cookies and similar technologies

This site uses a cookie banner and, where you accept it, sets cookies and uses similar technologies for essential functions, for remembering your preferences and for measuring how the site is used. Under PECR we must obtain your consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary, must tell you what they do, and must make it as easy to refuse them as to accept them. You can change or withdraw your cookie choices at any time, and you can also manage cookies through your browser settings; blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.

10.4 Electronic marketing

We will not send you marketing messages by electronic means unless the law permits it or you have agreed to receive them. Where we send marketing to existing customers on the basis of a previous enquiry, we do so only in accordance with the soft opt-in rules that apply under PECR, and every message includes a way to opt out.

11. Consumer Rights, Complaints and Dispute Resolution

Where currentiva supplies goods, services or digital content to a consumer, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 require certain pre-contract information to be given, including a description of the goods or services, the total price, delivery arrangements where relevant, and, for distance contracts, the cancellation rights and the model cancellation form. That information is provided at the point of sale, and it takes precedence over general statements on this page.

Consumers in the United Kingdom benefit from the rights given by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including the requirement that goods be of satisfactory quality and that services be performed with reasonable care and skill. Nothing in this legal information page, or in any of our policies, reduces or removes those rights.

11.1 Complaints

If you are unhappy with anything connected with this site or with a transaction entered into through it, please raise the matter with us first, using the contact details in section 4. Please include enough detail for us to identify the matter promptly, and we will acknowledge and investigate it. We prefer to resolve concerns directly and quickly.

11.2 Alternative dispute resolution

Where a consumer complaint cannot be settled directly, the law may allow the matter to be referred to an alternative dispute resolution provider or to another certified body. Participation in any such procedure is voluntary and does not prevent either party from bringing proceedings before the competent court. Nothing on this page requires a consumer to give up the right to go to court.

12. Related Policies and Legal Documents

The following documents form part of the legal framework for this site and should be read alongside this page. They are published elsewhere on the site and can be reached from the main navigation or the footer:

Privacy Policy — explains in full what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who we share it with, and how you can exercise your data protection rights.
Cookie Policy — lists the cookies and similar technologies used on the site, their purpose and their duration, and explains how to accept, refuse or withdraw consent.
Terms and Conditions — sets out the rules for using the site and, where relevant, the terms on which goods, services or digital content are supplied.
Payment and Refund Policy — describes accepted payment methods, invoicing, cancellation, returns and refunds, and the time limits that apply.

Where there is any conflict between this page and a specific contract or a specific policy, the more specific document prevails in relation to the subject matter it covers.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This legal information page, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or with the use of this site, are 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 resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live, and nothing in this page removes that right. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, the mandatory consumer protection rules of your home nation continue to apply to you.

Before beginning formal proceedings, both parties are encouraged to attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith discussion.

14. Changes to This Page and How to Contact Us

We may revise this legal information page from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law, in the structure of the organisation, or in the way the site is operated. The version published on the site at the time you use it is the version that applies. The date of the most recent revision is shown at the top of this page, and material changes will be highlighted on the site.
