Legal & Company Information

Last updated: 29 October 2026

This page is the legal notice and company information statement for showelix, an online information resource dedicated to audiovisual production excellence. It covers broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering, and the streamlined technical workflows used by television networks, production facilities and live-event teams.

This notice explains who operates the website, how the operator is registered, where it is based, how you may use the material published here, the limits of the operator's responsibility, and which laws and courts apply if a dispute arises. It is written in plain English so that it can be read alongside our other policies rather than instead of them.

Where this notice refers to "we", "us", "our" or "the operator", it means the company identified below. Where it refers to "you", it means any person who visits, browses or otherwise uses this website. Where it refers to "the site", it means the website published at showelix and every page, section, document and downloadable resource made available through it.

This notice does not create contractual rights or obligations beyond those already established by law and by our separate Terms and Conditions. If any part of it conflicts with mandatory consumer law in your country of residence, that mandatory law prevails to the extent of the conflict.

Who we are and our role as website operator

This website is owned, published and operated by Adlib Audio Limited ("we", "us", "our"). Adlib Audio Limited is a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales and is the person responsible for the editorial content published on this website.

Our role is twofold. First, we act as the publisher of the informational material you are reading. Second, where the website enables you to request information, submit an enquiry or take part in a demonstration or consultation, we act as the provider of those services. In both roles we are the primary point of responsibility for the content and for the way the site operates.

We are not a broadcaster, a television network or a licensing authority, and nothing on this website should be read as offering regulated broadcasting, telecommunications or financial services. Any technical guidance published here is general information about audiovisual production practice, including broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering and live-event workflow planning. It is not a substitute for a site-specific survey, a professional engineering assessment or a written project specification.

Where we publish contributed material, supplier references or project case summaries, we do so as part of our editorial mission to support audiovisual practitioners. We do not adopt third-party statements as our own, and responsibility for the accuracy of contributed content rests with the contributor as described further below.

Legal form, registration details and tax identifiers

Adlib Audio Limited is a limited company registered in England and Wales. Its company registration number is 03555097 and its VAT registration number is 477222243. The place of registration is England and Wales, and the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales maintains the public register on which the company's details appear.

The following identifiers are the ones you should quote in any formal correspondence, invoice query, contractual notice or complaint:

Registered company name: Adlib Audio Limited
Company registration number: 03555097
Country and register of incorporation: England and Wales
VAT registration number: 477222243
Company type: private company limited by shares

We do not hold, and we do not claim to hold, any statutory licence that would be required to operate as a broadcaster, network operator or regulated financial institution. Where a project involves electrical installation, structural work, rigging or any other activity that is subject to a separate statutory licensing or competence regime, that work is carried out only by appropriately qualified persons and under the relevant regulatory framework, not by this website.

Responsibility for the day-to-day running of the website sits with the company's management, who are the persons authorised to give formal notices on behalf of the company and to receive them. Formal notices relating to this website, its content or these disclosures should be directed through the contact route described below.

Registered office, places of business and contact details

The registered office of Adlib Audio Limited is at 1st Floor, Arcadia House, 15 Forlease Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 1RX, United Kingdom. This address is the company's official address for service and is the address at which formal documents may be delivered to the company.

The company also operates from additional business locations in the United Kingdom, including a head office function, a northern site and a southern site, from which it coordinates projects, equipment logistics and on-site engineering for live events, tours, broadcast studios and installed audiovisual systems. Because project work is frequently carried out at client venues and temporary sites, the places of business listed here are administrative and technical bases rather than public walk-in retail premises (though authorised visitors may attend by appointment).

You can reach us using the following details, which are also shown in the footer of every page:

Purpose, scope and intended audience of this website

This website exists to inform, educate and support professionals and enthusiasts working in audiovisual production. Its editorial scope includes broadcast studio design and system architecture, camera control systems and remote or robotic camera operation, professional lighting arrangements and lighting-design practice, sound engineering and audio system design, and the streamlined workflows that allow television networks and live-event teams to plan, produce and deliver programmes reliably.

The intended audience is made up of technical directors, broadcast engineers, lighting and sound designers, studio and venue operators, production managers, integrators, educators, students and informed enthusiasts. The site is aimed at a general professional readership rather than at children, and it is not directed at consumers in any specific jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom. We do not seek to sell regulated products through this website, and no content on it should be treated as an offer capable of acceptance.

The website is an information resource. It does not provide online accounts, subscriptions, marketplaces or paid downloads, and it does not process payments for goods or services. Any figures, equipment references, timings, budgets or technical parameters shown are illustrative examples intended to explain a concept; they must not be relied on as quotations for a particular project.

We may change the scope of the website over time, add or remove subject areas, or restructure sections. Doing so does not alter the legal terms that apply to your use of the site.

Access to the website and acceptable use

You are welcome to read, browse and quote from this website for lawful personal, educational and professional purposes. Access is provided free of charge and on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the site will be available at any particular time, and we may suspend, withdraw or restrict all or part of it without notice, including for maintenance, security, legal or hosting reasons.

When using the website you agree that you will not:

copy, scrape, harvest or systematically extract substantial parts of the site or its content without our written permission;
use automated tools to place excessive load on the site, bypass security measures, or interfere with its normal operation;
attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site, its servers, databases or connected systems;
upload, transmit or distribute malware, or use the site to send unsolicited commercial communications;
frame, mirror or misrepresent the site or its content in a way that suggests a false association with us;
use the site for any purpose that is unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, discriminatory or infringing of the rights of others.

If you breach these rules we may take reasonable steps to protect the site and other users, including blocking access, reporting conduct to the relevant authorities, and pursuing any available legal remedy. Nothing in this section restricts your statutory rights, including your right to quote fairly from published material for the purposes of criticism, review, reporting or teaching.

Intellectual property, trademarks and permitted use of content

Unless stated otherwise, all content on this website, including written guidance, diagrams, illustrations, layout, design, code, and the compilation of the site as a whole, is owned by Adlib Audio Limited or is used under a valid licence. That content is protected by copyright and related rights under the law of England and Wales and applicable international conventions.

Company names, product names, logos, service marks and trade names appearing on the site, including our own name and any third-party marks referenced for identification purposes, belong to their respective owners. Their appearance on this website does not grant you any licence or right to use them, and you must not use them in a way that is likely to cause confusion or to suggest endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation where none exists.

Subject to the restrictions in the previous section, you may:

view, download and print individual pages for your own non-commercial reference;
quote short extracts in reviews, articles, teaching materials or internal briefings, provided you attribute the source clearly to showelix;
link to our pages from your own website or documentation, provided the link is honest and does not imply partnership or approval.

You may not republish, resell, redistribute or adapt substantial parts of our content, remove any authorship or copyright notice, or use our content to train or develop a commercial product, without our prior written consent. Requests for permission, including for commercial reuse, should be sent to [email protected], and we will normally respond within a reasonable period.

Accuracy, availability and limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date, but audiovisual technology, standards and practices change quickly. Broadcast studio design, camera control systems, professional lighting arrangements, sound engineering and live-event workflows all depend on the specific venue, equipment, budget and regulatory context, and general guidance cannot account for every variable. The content is therefore provided for general information only and is not professional, engineering, legal or financial advice.

You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of this content without obtaining appropriate professional advice for your own situation. Where a decision affects safety, electrical work, structural loads, rigging, fire precautions or regulatory compliance, qualified specialists must be engaged.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the paragraph that follows, we exclude liability for:

loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or anticipated savings;
loss or corruption of data, or the cost of restoring it;
indirect, special or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website;
loss arising from reliance on illustrative figures, timings, equipment references or worked examples published on the site.

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 or limited. We also do not exclude liability that arises under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 or under any mandatory provision of UK consumer law. We make no promise that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, although we take reasonable steps to keep it secure.

External links and third-party content

This website may refer to or link to third-party websites, products, manufacturers, venues, events or services. Those references are provided for convenience and context only. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security or privacy practices, nor for any dealings you may have with them.

Following a link to an external site means you leave our website and become subject to that site's own terms and policies. You should review those terms before relying on the third-party content. A link from our site does not imply endorsement, and the absence of a link does not imply criticism.

If you believe that content we link to, or material published on this website, infringes your rights, is unlawful, or is inaccurate in a way that could cause harm, please tell us using the contact details below. Provide enough detail for us to identify the material and the basis of your concern. Where appropriate we will review, correct, annotate or remove the material.

Data protection, privacy and cookies

Our handling of personal information is governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and, where relevant, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). As the operator of this website we are the data controller for the personal information you provide to us through the site, for example when you send us an enquiry through the contact form.

This website includes a site-wide cookie banner that allows you to review and manage the non-essential cookies used on the site. Essential cookies and similar technologies are used to operate the site securely and to remember your cookie choices; any analytics or similar non-essential cookies are used only where you have given your consent, and you can change or withdraw that consent at any time using the banner or your browser settings.

We use the personal information you provide only to respond to your enquiry, to maintain the security and integrity of the site, and to comply with our legal obligations. We do not sell personal information, and we retain it only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. You have rights under the UK GDPR, including the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. To exercise these rights, or to ask how your information is used, please contact us at [email protected].

Full details of the information we collect, how long we keep it, how we use cookies and the lawful bases for processing are set out in the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy referred to below.

Applicable law, jurisdiction and consumer dispute rights

This legal notice and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or with your use of this website are governed by the law of England and Wales. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any such dispute.

You also have the right to seek advice from a consumer protection body or adviser in your own area.
