With respect to all subscription & service based products please be aware that all sales are final once subscriptions / services are activated / registered with the broadcaster. This also applies to any non subscription products which allow access to encrypted broadcasts and are activated and assigned to an end user at the point of sale or upon first use. With respect to viewing cards, services & pre paid subscriptions we act merely as agents for overseas broadcasters / service providers and are not connected with them in any way and whilst we will provide unlimited support for equipment we have sold, we are actually only “contracted” to supply tv equipment not to supply actual programmes. We therefore cannot be held responsible should a broadcaster (or any affiliated company or service supplier) cease broadcasting, change encryption type, move frequency / Satellite or make any change to the broadcast transmission or its content whatsover including merging with other broadcasters or re-branding of their services.

Furthermore Satellite Subscription Cards being used for any form of illegal card sharing in Linux boxes (eg running Oscam, CCCam etc) may now be deactivated at source and any warranty voided by the system operator.
