Legal Information

Last updated: 26 October 2026.

Legal and company information. This page is the formal legal notice for this website. It identifies the company that operates the site, sets out the registration and tax details that apply in the United Kingdom, explains the rules for using the site, describes who owns the material published here, and states the limits of our responsibility together with the law that governs our relationship with you. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy, our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Hire, and our Payment and Refund Policy, which are separate notices published on this website.

1. Who we are and our role as the website operator

This website, spectify, is owned, published and operated by Finepoint Broadcast Limited. Throughout this notice, "we", "us", "our" and "the operator" mean Finepoint Broadcast Limited, and "you" and "your" mean any person who visits, reads, browses or otherwise uses the website, whether as a professional buyer, a hirer of equipment, a technician, a student or a casual reader.

We are a United Kingdom business working in the broadcast, studio and live production sector. Our professional activity covers the supply, hire, installation, integration and technical support of studio and outside-broadcast equipment, including camera systems and optics, camera support and movement equipment, studio and location lighting, audio and sound capture equipment, signal routing, switching and control systems, and the workflow design and configuration work that ties those elements together.

This website is our professional resource on studio production in motion. Its subject matter covers studio equipment setup, dynamic camera operation, lighting design and the behaviour of sound waves, and the practical methods that production teams use to build smooth, repeatable, high-quality workflows for television news and live shows. The material is educational and technical in nature and sits alongside our commercial activities rather than replacing them.

We are the publisher of this site and the person responsible for its content. For the purposes of United Kingdom data protection law we are also the controller of the personal data processed through the site, including through the contact form and the site-wide cookie banner. We are not a broadcaster, a channel operator, a news agency, a video-sharing platform or an internet intermediary, and we do not publish or moderate editorial content on behalf of any other organisation.

2. Legal form, company registration and tax identifiers

We are a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales. The following statutory particulars identify us and apply to everything published on this website.

Legal form: private company limited by shares, incorporated under the law of England and Wales.
Registered company name: Finepoint Broadcast Limited.
Company registration number: 01786138.
Place of registration: England and Wales, with the register maintained by Companies House.
Registered office: Techspace, 132-140 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7DY, United Kingdom.
Tax identification: we are registered for Value Added Tax in the United Kingdom. Our VAT registration number is stated on every invoice, quotation and hire agreement we issue, and is available on request. Where a customer provides a valid VAT registration number and the supply qualifies, VAT is treated in accordance with United Kingdom VAT rules.
Responsible representatives: the company is managed by its board of directors, who are its controlling mind and its authorised representatives. A private limited company is not required to appoint a company secretary, and no separate authorised representative has been appointed for the United Kingdom.
Licences and regulated activities: supplying, hiring and installing studio, camera, lighting and audio equipment is not a licensed activity in the United Kingdom and does not require approval from Ofcom or from any other regulator. Where equipment incorporates radio transmitting technology, responsibility for holding any licence required under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 rests with the person who operates that equipment. We do not provide regulated financial services, legal advice, accountancy services or broadcasting services.

These disclosures are made in line with the United Kingdom's company naming and trading disclosure rules, which require a company to make its registered name, company number, place of registration and registered office address readily available on its websites and in its business communications.

3. Registered office, contact details and service of documents

Our registered office, which is also the address for formal correspondence, is Techspace, 132-140 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7DY, United Kingdom. This is the address at which documents may be served on the company in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and the Civil Procedure Rules.

4. Purpose, scope and intended audience of this website

The purpose of this website is to provide a professional resource on studio production in motion for people who plan, build, operate or study live and recorded production environments. It is designed to be useful to camera operators, vision engineers, lighting technicians, sound engineers, technical directors and production managers who need reliable, practical explanations rather than marketing material.

The material on this site is aimed at professional and semi-professional users in the United Kingdom, and at businesses rather than consumers, although private individuals are welcome to read it. It is intended for adults. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly design any part of the site for use by children.

Content on this site is general in nature. It describes common practice, typical equipment configurations and standard workflow approaches. It is not project-specific professional advice, and it cannot account for the particular equipment, crew, health and safety arrangements, electrical supply, rigging requirements or licensing position of your own production. Before you rely on anything published here for a real production, you should carry out your own risk assessment, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and take advice from a competent person where the work involves rigging, electricity, working at height or radio transmission.

5. Access to the website and acceptable use

We provide this website on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the site, or any part of it, will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, error-free or free of harmful components. Access may be suspended without notice for maintenance, updates, security work or reasons outside our control.

You may use this website for lawful purposes only. In particular, you must not:

use the site in any way that breaches applicable local, national or international law or regulation;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, the server on which it is stored, or any connected system, network or database;
introduce viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs, spyware or any other harmful material, or otherwise attack the site by way of a denial-of-service attack or a distributed denial-of-service attack;
use automated tools to scrape, harvest, crawl or index the site at a rate that impairs its operation or the experience of other users;
collect or store personal data about other users of the site, or use the contact form to send unsolicited commercial communications, chain messages, malware or unlawful material;
reproduce, duplicate, copy, republish or resell any part of the site in breach of the intellectual property provisions in section 6 below;
frame, mirror or present the site in a way that misrepresents your relationship with us or hides our authorship.

Unauthorised access to computer material, and interference with computer systems, are criminal offences in the United Kingdom under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. We may report suspected offences to the police and to the relevant regulators, and we may suspend or withdraw your access to the site if we reasonably believe you have breached this notice.

6. Ownership of content, trade marks and permitted use

Unless stated otherwise, all material published on this website, including text, technical explanations, diagrams, photographs, video, audio, layout, structure and code, is owned by or licensed to Finepoint Broadcast Limited and is protected by copyright, database rights and design rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and equivalent legislation.

The names spectify and Finepoint Broadcast Limited, our logos, and any related marks, domain names and get-up are our trade marks or are used by us under licence. Nothing on this site grants you any right, title or interest in those marks, and you may not use them without our prior written permission.

You may view, print and download extracts of the site for your own internal business or personal reference, and you may quote short passages fairly, with clear attribution to this website. You may not:

copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit or distribute any substantial part of the site, including for a competing website or database;
use the content commercially, including in training courses, paid publications or subscription services, without a written licence from us;
modify, translate, adapt, reverse-engineer or create derivative works from our material in a way that misrepresents it;
remove or obscure any copyright, trade mark or attribution notice.

If you believe that material on this site infringes your rights, please contact us at [email protected] with enough detail for us to identify the material and assess your claim. If you would like a licence to reproduce substantial parts of the site, please write to [email protected] and we will consider your request.

7. Accuracy, availability and limits of our liability

We take reasonable care to ensure that the information published on this site is accurate and up to date when it is posted. Even so, equipment specifications, firmware, standards, practices and legislation change frequently, and our content is written at a general level. We therefore make no representation, warranty or guarantee that the content is complete, current, accurate or suitable for a particular production, and we may change or remove content at any time without notice.

Where content describes a method of working, it assumes that the work is carried out by competent people using appropriate equipment, following the manufacturer's instructions and complying with relevant health, safety and electrical standards. Nothing on this site is a substitute for those instructions or for professional judgement on site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for loss or damage of any kind arising from use of, or reliance on, this website or its content, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business, loss of anticipated savings, loss of data, business interruption, and any indirect or consequential loss, whether in contract, tort, negligence, misrepresentation or otherwise.

Nothing in this notice limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, or for your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which are not affected by anything stated here. If you are a consumer, you may have additional rights that we cannot exclude, and we do not attempt to do so.

8. External links and third-party content

This website may refer to, or link out to, websites, applications, products and services that are owned and operated by other organisations, including equipment manufacturers, standards bodies, trade associations and training providers. Those references are provided for information and convenience only.

We do not control third-party websites or their content, and we are not responsible for their accuracy, availability, legality, security or privacy practices. A reference to, or a link to, a third party does not mean that we endorse that third party, its products or its services, and it does not mean that the third party endorses us. If you follow an external link, you do so at your own risk, and you should read the terms of use, privacy notice and cookie notice of that website before you use it.

Where our site embeds or reproduces third-party material, that material remains the property of its owner and may be subject to additional terms. We take reasonable steps to respect third-party rights, and we will remove material promptly if a properly supported rights complaint is made to [email protected].

9. Data protection, privacy and cookies in the United Kingdom

We process personal data in accordance with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 as they apply in the United Kingdom, including the rules on cookies and similar technologies.

As controller, we must have a lawful basis for each processing activity. In practice this will be one or more of the following: your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies and for marketing messages where you have opted in); the performance of a contract with you or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (for example, processing an order, a hire request or a service enquiry); our legitimate interests in running and improving our business and website, balanced against your rights; and compliance with legal obligations such as tax and accounting record-keeping.

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which it was collected, plus any statutory retention period. Where we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we put appropriate safeguards in place in line with UK GDPR requirements.

You have rights over your personal data, subject to legal conditions and exemptions. These include the right to be informed, the right of access to a copy of the data we hold about you, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restriction of processing, the right to data portability, the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests or carried out for direct marketing, and the right to withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing.

Our cookie banner lets you accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies, and non-essential cookies are not set until you make a choice. You can also control cookies through your browser settings and clear existing cookies at any time; some parts of the site may not work properly if you block essential cookies.

Full detail of our processing, retention periods, recipients, international transfers and how to exercise your rights is set out in our Privacy Policy. Our use of cookies and similar technologies is explained in our Cookie Policy. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the United Kingdom's data protection regulator, or to the equivalent supervisory authority in your country of residence. We would appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first, and you can write to us at [email protected].

10. Sale, hire, payment, returns and cancellation

Separately from the free informational content on this website, we may sell or hire equipment, supply installation and integration services, and provide technical support. Those transactions are governed by our Terms and Conditions of Sale and Hire and by our Payment and Refund Policy, together with any written quotation, order confirmation or hire agreement we issue.

Where a customer deals with us as a consumer, additional rights apply under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, including the right to receive goods and services of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described, and a 14-day cancellation or cooling-off period for most distance and off-premises contracts, starting from the day the goods are received or the contract is concluded. Where goods are made to a specification, are clearly personalised, or where sealed audiovisual or software items are unsealed after delivery, the cancellation right may not apply, and hire agreements for a specific production period may be treated differently.

Where a customer deals with us as a business, hire periods, deposit arrangements, late-return charges, damage charges, insurance requirements, retention of title, and risk and delivery terms are set out in the applicable hire agreement and business terms. VAT is charged or accounted for in accordance with United Kingdom VAT rules, and full commercial documentation is issued for every supply.

To ask about an order, request a return, cancel a purchase or raise a dispute about a payment, please contact us at [email protected] or +44 20 7713 9800 as soon as possible, quoting your order or hire reference. Our returns process, refund timescales and remedies are described in full in our Payment and Refund Policy.

11. 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 hear 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 you benefit from the mandatory consumer protections of that jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident in another country, nothing in this notice removes the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence where European Union or other applicable law provides that those rules cannot be contracted away.

If a dispute arises, we would encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so that we can try to resolve it directly. If we cannot resolve it, and you are a consumer, you may take advice from Citizens Advice or a similar consumer advice service, contact your local Trading Standards service, or use a certified alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider. We are not currently obliged, and do not agree, to participate in ADR proceedings before an ADR body for the purposes of the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes (Competent Authorities and Information) Regulations 2015, but we will always consider a reasonable request. Where parties are in the European Union, the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform may also be available. Nothing in this section restricts your right to bring a claim before a competent court, or to report a concern to a public authority such as Trading Standards.

12. Changes to this legal notice and how it is maintained

We review this page regularly and may change it at any time, for example to reflect a change in our company details, in the law, in the technology used on the site, or in our commercial practices. The version published on this page is the version in force at the time you use the site, and the date shown at the top of the page tells you when it was last updated.

If we make a material change that affects your rights materially, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention, for example by placing a notice on the website or, where we hold your contact details and the law requires it, by contacting you directly. Continuing to use the website after a change takes effect means that you accept the updated notice. If you do not agree with a change, you should stop using the site and, where relevant, contact us about any contract that is still running.

If any part of this notice is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of it remains in force, and the invalid part will be replaced by a provision that achieves as closely as possible the same lawful purpose. A failure by us to enforce any part of this notice is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

This notice is written in English, which is the governing language of the website and of any contract concluded through it. If you need any part of it explained, please contact us at [email protected].
