Legal Information

Last updated: 29 October 2026.

1. Who We Are and the Role of This Website

This website is operated by mediariffx, which trades as a commercial provider of specialist training courses focused on live production decks and control rooms. The website is informational and transactional in nature: it describes our course catalogue, allows prospective learners to enquire or enrol, and gives enrolled participants access to practical guidance about live production work.

In practice, our role is that of an education and training provider operating in the broadcast and live events sector. We design, schedule and deliver tuition in multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation, and the professional management of television and streaming productions. We are not acting as a broadcaster, a systems integrator, or an equipment rental house when you use this site, and nothing on the site should be read as a technical certification or a licence to operate transmission equipment. Where a course involves third-party hardware or software, that equipment remains subject to its own manufacturer terms.

When we refer to \"we\", \"us\", \"our\" or \"the operator\" in this legal notice, we mean the business that owns and runs this website. When we refer to \"you\", we mean any visitor to the site, whether or not you go on to book a course. This page explains the legal framework that applies to your use of the site and to any course you purchase from us.

2. Legal Form, Registration Details, Tax Identifiers, Licences and Responsible Representatives

mediariffx is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales. Our key non-contact legal identifiers are:

  • Company Registration Number: 02867466
  • VAT Registration Number: GB 645 085 923

These identifiers allow you to verify our existence and standing through Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs. The company maintains the statutory registers, filings and accounts required of a UK private limited company. Our directors are the responsible representatives for the purposes of corporate governance and for any regulatory correspondence; their details are filed with Companies House and are available for public inspection.

Training in live production is not a licensed activity in the United Kingdom in the way that, for example, broadcasting or financial services are. We therefore do not hold an operating licence issued by a sector regulator for the delivery of these courses. Where a course touches on regulated activities such as radio spectrum use, electrical safety, or the handling of hazardous equipment, the relevant legal duties rest with the party carrying out those activities at the venue, and we provide guidance rather than authorisation.

3. Registered Office and How to Reach Us

Our registered office address is First Floor, Windmill House, 127-128 Windmill Street, Gravesend, Kent DA12 1BL, United Kingdom. This is the address at which formal legal notices and official correspondence should be served. It is also the address recorded on the public register.

For day-to-day questions about courses, bookings, invoicing, accessibility requirements, or this legal notice, the fastest route is the contact form on our Contacts page. The site also publishes the following contact channels:

  • Email: del@funnyhands.tv
  • Telephone: +44 7710 486195

Our offices are normally open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00, and Saturday, 10:00 to 14:00. We are closed on Sundays and on public holidays in England and Wales. Messages sent outside these hours are acknowledged on the next working day. The site uses a cookie banner to collect consent for non-essential cookies before they are set, in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

4. Purpose, Scope and Intended Audience

This website exists to promote and facilitate enrolment in professional training courses specialising in live production environments. Its scope covers control room operations, multi-camera production workflows, broadcasting standards, and streaming management techniques. Course descriptions, sample schedules, learning outcomes, technical prerequisites and pricing are set out on the relevant course pages and form part of the information you receive before you enter into a contract with us.

The intended audience includes media professionals, aspiring broadcasters, production technicians, students of film and television, corporate communications teams, and organisations that run live events or produce streamed content. Content is written for users in the United Kingdom and internationally. Because our subject matter is practical, many courses assume a certain level of familiarity with cameras, vision mixers, audio desks, talkback systems or streaming encoders; where prerequisites apply, they are stated on the course page and we ask you to read them before booking.

This site is not directed at children. Course places are intended for adults aged 18 or over, or for younger learners only where a parent or guardian books on their behalf and appropriate supervision is arranged with us in advance.

5. Rules for Access and Acceptable Use

You may browse this website and use it for lawful purposes connected with learning about or booking our courses. You agree not to:

  • use the site in any way that breaches applicable law, including data protection, computer misuse and intellectual property law;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers, or any connected system, or interfere with its normal operation;
  • introduce viruses, malware, or any code designed to disrupt or damage the site or the systems of other users;
  • scrape, harvest or systematically extract content, course data, or personal data from the site;
  • copy, republish or resell course materials, recordings or documentation without our written permission;
  • submit false booking information, impersonate another person, or misuse the contact form, including by sending bulk or unsolicited commercial messages.

We may suspend or withdraw access to the site, cancel a booking, or refuse future service where we reasonably believe these rules have been broken, or where we must do so to comply with the law. Where a breach also affects other learners, we may need to remove a participant from a live session or venue. We aim to be proportionate and to explain the reason for any such decision.

6. Ownership and Permitted Use of Content, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property

All material on this website — text, course outlines, diagrams, photographs, video, graphics, layout, and the underlying code — is owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright and related rights under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. The name mediariffx and our logos and course names are our trademarks or trade names. Third-party trademarks, product names and company names that appear on the site, for example in equipment references or software screenshots, remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and instructional purposes only.

You are permitted to view, download and print pages from this site for your own personal, non-commercial reference and for educational purposes directly connected with a course you have enrolled on. Any other use is not permitted without our prior written consent. In particular, you must not modify, distribute, transmit, republish, sell, licence, or create derivative works from our content, and you must not remove or obscure any copyright or attribution notice.

Course materials issued to enrolled participants are subject to separate licence terms set out in the enrolment agreement. Those terms typically allow you to use the materials for your own professional development but not to share them with non-participants, run competing training from them, or reproduce them in whole or in part.

7. Accuracy, Availability and Proportionate Limitations of Liability

We take care to keep course information accurate and current. Even so, course schedules, prices, tutor availability, venues and technical specifications can change. The content of this website is provided on an \"as is\" and \"as available\" basis, and we do not warrant that it will always be complete, current, or free from error, nor that access will be uninterrupted or free of viruses. Where a change affects a course you have booked, we will notify you using the contact details you supplied and offer the remedies described in the Payment and Refund Policy.

Nothing in this notice excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by the law of England and Wales, we exclude liability for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or loss of data, arising from your use of the website or your participation in a course.

Where we are liable to you, our total liability arising out of or in connection with a course booking is limited to the amount of the course fee you paid for that course, except in the cases described above where liability cannot be limited. These limits are proportionate to the nature of the service, which is educational training rather than a guarantee of commercial outcomes, broadcast performance, or employment.

8. External Links and Third-Party Content

The site may link to websites, tools or resources operated by third parties, such as professional bodies, equipment manufacturers, or software vendors. Those links are provided for convenience and further study only. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement, and it does not mean that we have verified the third party's services.

If you follow a link away from our site, the terms and privacy policy of the destination site will apply to your use of it. You should read those documents before providing personal data or entering into any transaction there. Where we embed third-party media or tools, those providers may set their own cookies; the Cookie Policy explains how consent for such cookies is managed through the site-wide banner.

9. Privacy, Cookies and Data Protection

We process personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. We collect data only for specified purposes: administering course bookings and attendance, handling enquiries submitted through the contact form, issuing certificates, taking payment, and — where you have opted in — sending marketing about future courses. Our lawful bases are normally performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, and legitimate interests, with consent where consent is the appropriate basis.

You have rights to access your data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. You also have the right to withdraw consent for marketing at any time. Complaints about data protection can be made to us in the first instance and, if unresolved, to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The Privacy Policy sets out retention periods, recipients of data, and international transfer safeguards in full. Cookies and similar technologies are governed by the Cookie Policy and by the consent banner shown across the site.

10. Cross-References to Other Policies

This page forms part of a set of documents that together govern your relationship with us. You should read it alongside the following pages, which are available on this website:

  • the Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018;
  • the Cookie Policy, which explains the cookies and similar technologies we use and how consent is managed under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations;
  • the Terms and Conditions, which govern the contractual relationship for course bookings and use of the website;
  • the Payment and Refund Policy, which covers billing, cancellation, transfers, and refund procedures.

Where there is a conflict between this legal notice and the Terms and Conditions in relation to a booked course, the Terms and Conditions take precedence for that booking. Where a consumer protection rule gives you a stronger right than these documents, that rule prevails.

11. Applicable Law, Competent Courts and Consumer Dispute Rights

This website and all associated services are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Subject to the paragraph below, any dispute arising from your use of the site or your participation in a course is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your own part of the United Kingdom.

As a consumer, you benefit from mandatory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including the right to services performed with reasonable care and skill, and remedies where services are not performed as agreed. Consumer contracts concluded at a distance are also governed by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which give a cooling-off period in many cases. Clear information on course content, pricing, duration and cancellation rights is provided before you book, and refunds and complaints are handled under the Payment and Refund Policy.

If you are unhappy with our service, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the matter quickly. If we cannot resolve it, alternative dispute resolution through an approved mediation scheme may be available, though we are not obliged to participate in a particular scheme. Data protection complaints may be directed to the ICO.

12. Contact Route, Changes to This Notice and Last-Updated Date

Enquiries about this legal notice, requests relating to your data, or formal correspondence should be sent using the contact form on our Contacts page, by email at del@funnyhands.tv, by telephone on +44 7710 486195, or by post to First Floor, Windmill House, 127-128 Windmill Street, Gravesend, Kent DA12 1BL, United Kingdom. Please include enough detail for us to identify any booking or prior correspondence, so that we can respond promptly.

We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in the law, in our business practices, or in the way we operate the site. Material changes will be highlighted on this page and, where the change affects an existing booking, we will notify affected participants directly. The version published here is the current version, and continued use of the website after an update means that you accept the revised notice. If you do not agree with a change, you should stop using the site and contact us about any booking already made.
