Legal Information and Company Details
Last updated: 4 November 2026
1. About This Legal Information Page
This page sets out the company, registration, tax, regulatory and contractual information that journoza is required to publish in the United Kingdom. It is written as a legal notice rather than as promotional material, and it applies to this website together with every page, form and downloadable document made available through it. Where this page refers to 'we', 'us' or 'our', it means journoza. Where it refers to 'you', it means the person visiting or using the website.
We are a commercial supplier of professional production services and equipment, and we deal primarily with businesses, broadcasters, production companies, studios and freelance professionals. This page should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy and our Terms and Conditions, which are published separately on this website and which form part of the legal framework governing your use of the site. If you are looking for the rules that apply to a hire, a booking or a purchase, please read the Terms and Conditions and the Payment and Refund Policy, because those documents take priority over the general information summarised here.
Publishing this information is a legal obligation for UK companies and a matter of good practice for everyone else. We have tried to write it in plain English so that you can find what you need quickly, without having to interpret legal jargon.
2. Identity of the Website Operator
The website is owned and operated by journoza. We are the publisher of the site and the party responsible for its content, and we are also the supplier of the services described on it.
2.1 Legal form and registration
We are a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. Our company registration number is 13033970, and the company is registered in England and Wales. As a limited company, our shareholders benefit from limited liability, and the company is a separate legal entity from its directors and shareholders. Our company name, registration number, place of registration and registered office are published in accordance with the UK rules on trading disclosures, which require companies to make this information easily, directly and permanently accessible on their websites.
2.2 Directors and responsible representatives
The director and legal representative of the company, and the person responsible for the editorial content of this website, is Jon Howarth. Correspondence about the company, its registration details or the content of this website may be addressed to him using the contact route set out in section 4 below. Requests relating to personal data should be directed to us using the same route and marked clearly as a data protection request, so that they can be handled within the statutory time limits.
2.3 Business activity
Our business activity is the rental of camera and lighting equipment for film, television and media production, together with the related technical advice, preparation and support that professional productions require. Our website also serves as a professional hub for live television production, covering studio equipment integration, camera techniques, acoustic optimisation, lighting setups and reliable production processes for news programmes, interviews and live shows.
3. Registration, Tax and Regulatory Identifiers
3.1 Company registration number
Our company registration number is 13033970. This number identifies the company at Companies House and should be quoted on any correspondence, purchase order or invoice query so that we can locate the correct records quickly. The register entry for the company can be inspected by the public at Companies House in the normal way, and the information held there about our registered office, directors and filing history is maintained by us in accordance with our statutory duties.
3.2 VAT registration
We are registered for Value Added Tax in the United Kingdom. Our VAT number is 494089156. Where VAT is chargeable on goods or services supplied to you, it is charged at the rate in force at the time of supply and shown separately on our invoices, together with our VAT number. If you are a VAT-registered business, you may be able to recover the VAT you are charged, subject to your own tax position; we cannot advise you on that, and you should speak to your accountant. Where a supply is exempt, zero-rated or outside the scope of UK VAT, this will be stated on the invoice together with the reason. Reverse-charge supplies to business customers outside the United Kingdom are invoiced in accordance with the applicable rules, and it is your responsibility to account for any tax due in your own jurisdiction.
3.3 Place of registration and governing jurisdiction of incorporation
We are registered in England and Wales. Our legal existence, our internal governance and the way in which the company is administered are governed by the law of England and Wales.
3.4 Regulatory position, insurance and compliance
We operate in a sector that is subject to health and safety, electrical safety and environmental obligations. We maintain employers' liability, public liability and professional indemnity insurance appropriate to our activities, and we review our cover as our operations change. We take our environmental responsibilities seriously, including the obligations that apply to electrical and electronic equipment placed on the UK market and to the safe handling, transport and disposal of batteries, lamps and cabling. We also expect our staff, contractors and suppliers to comply with all applicable anti-bribery, modern slavery, sanctions and export control requirements. Nothing on this website is a licence, permission or authorisation from a regulator, and no regulator has approved or endorsed this website or its content.
4. Registered Office and Contact Details
Our registered office, which is the address at which formal notices and legal documents may be served on the company and at which our statutory registers are kept, is:
Beaconsfield Studios, Station Road, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, HP9 1LG, United Kingdom
You can reach us by email at info@nfts.co.uk or by telephone on 01494 671234. The quickest route for general enquiries, hire requests, technical support and website feedback is the contact form on our Contacts page, which is monitored during normal UK business hours. Please do not send confidential, sensitive or time-critical material through the contact form alone; if a matter is urgent, telephone us and then confirm the details in writing.
When you contact us we may ask you for the details we need to identify you, your organisation and the matter you are raising. We use that information only to answer your enquiry and to keep a record of our dealings, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
5. Purpose, Scope and Intended Audience of the Website
This website is a professional resource for people who work in live television and studio production. It explains how studio equipment is integrated, how camera positions and movement are planned, how acoustics are optimised, how lighting is designed and how production processes are made reliable for news programmes, interviews and live shows. Some pages describe techniques, workflows and equipment categories in general terms; others describe the services we provide and invite you to get in touch.
The site is aimed at a professional and business audience, including broadcasters, production companies, studios, facilities houses, engineers, producers, directors, technical crews and freelancers. It is not directed at children, it is not intended for consumers acting wholly outside their trade or profession, and it is not a consumer advice service. If you are a private individual who wants to hire equipment for personal use, please contact us first so that we can confirm whether we are able to help and which terms will apply.
The information on the site is general in nature. Production environments vary enormously, and a technique, rig, fixture or acoustic treatment that is suitable in one studio may be unsuitable or unsafe in another. Nothing on this website is professional engineering, structural, electrical, acoustic or legal advice for your particular project, and you should take specialist advice and carry out your own risk assessment before acting on anything you read here.
6. Access to and Acceptable Use of the Website
We aim to keep the website available, but access is provided on a temporary basis and we may suspend, withdraw or restrict all or part of it without notice, including for maintenance, security or technical reasons. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.
When using the website, you agree to the following rules of acceptable use:
- use the site only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, or restrict or inhibit the use and enjoyment of the site by, any other person;

We may suspend or terminate your access to the site, and take legal action where appropriate, if we reasonably believe you have breached these rules. In the case of a criminal offence, we may report the matter to law enforcement and cooperate with any investigation.

8. Accuracy, Availability and Proportionate Limitations of Liability
We prepare the content of this website with reasonable care and skill, but we do not warrant that it is accurate, complete, current or fit for any particular purpose. Descriptions of techniques, equipment, acoustics, lighting and production workflows are provided for general guidance only, and equipment availability, specifications and prices may change without notice.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or any indirect or consequential loss arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, this website or reliance on its content. We also exclude liability for any loss or damage caused by a distributed denial-of-service attack, virus or other technologically harmful material that may infect your computer equipment, programs, data or other proprietary material as a result of your use of the site or of any material downloaded from it.
Nothing in this section limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for breach of the terms implied by section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where it applies, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. If you are a consumer, you have statutory rights that are not affected by these limitations.
9. External Links and Third-Party Content
From time to time this website may refer to, or contain links to, websites, platforms, plug-ins, applications and resources operated by third parties. These links are provided for convenience and reference only. We do not control those resources, we do not review their content, and we do not endorse them, their operators or anything they offer. We accept no responsibility or liability 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 our website and become subject to that site's own terms of use, privacy notice and cookie practices. We encourage you to read those documents before providing any personal data. Any dealings you have with a third party, including payment, delivery, warranty and support arrangements, are between you and that third party alone.
Where this website contains content supplied by third parties, including equipment descriptions, images or technical data, that content is provided as received and is not verified by us. Any opinion expressed in third-party material is that of the author and does not necessarily reflect our views.
10. Data Protection, Privacy and Cookies
10.1 How we handle personal data
We process personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect through the website and through our business dealings, why we collect it, the lawful bases we rely on, how long we keep it, who we share it with, how we transfer it where relevant, and the rights available to you under the UK GDPR, including your rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and your right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
10.2 Cookies and similar technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies are needed for the site to function and for security. Non-essential cookies, including any used for analytics or for remembering preferences, are set only where permitted by PECR and, where consent is required, only after you have given it through our site-wide cookie banner. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies, change your mind at any time, and manage cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
Our Cookie Policy lists the cookies we use, describes their purpose and duration, and explains how to withdraw consent. Please read the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy for full details; they are the authoritative statements on data protection and cookies, and this summary does not replace them.
11. Terms and Conditions, Payments and Refunds
The use of this website and the supply of any goods, services, hire or technical support by us are governed by our Terms and Conditions, which should be read together with any quotation, booking confirmation, hire agreement or statement of work that we issue. Where there is a conflict between this legal information page and the Terms and Conditions, or between this page and a signed agreement, the Terms and Conditions or the signed agreement will prevail.
Prices, availability, lead times, delivery and collection arrangements, insurance and liability for hired equipment, cancellation and postponement rules, and the consequences of late or non-return of equipment are all dealt with in the Terms and Conditions. Payments, invoicing, deposits, failed payments and refunds, including any cancellation or cooling-off rights that apply, and the circumstances in which refunds may be offered or refused, are dealt with in our Payment and Refund Policy. Please read both documents before you place an order.
12. Applicable Law, Competent Courts and Consumer Dispute Rights
This website and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it, its content or its subject matter are governed by the law of England and Wales. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute or claim, and you and we both submit to that jurisdiction.
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 section deprives you of the protection afforded by the mandatory rules of the law of your country of residence.
We are not willing or obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board, and we do not currently subscribe to an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) scheme for consumer disputes. We would nevertheless like the opportunity to resolve any complaint directly: please contact us first, using the details in section 4, and allow us a reasonable period to respond. If you are a consumer and we cannot resolve a complaint between us, you may be able to use a certified ADR provider or seek advice from Citizens Advice or Trading Standards. Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 where it applies, or your right to bring a claim in the courts of England and Wales.
13. Changes to This Page, Contact Route and Last-Updated Date
We review this page regularly and may amend it at any time to reflect changes in our company details, our practices, our suppliers or the law. The version published on this website at the time you use the site is the version that applies to that use, and the 'last updated' date at the top of the page shows when it was most recently revised. If we make a material change that affects the way we handle personal data, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention, for example by placing a notice on the website.
