that whole section wants throwing out an re-writing, whoever was responsable wants the sack......

theres no way they can enforce much of the little iv read so far, hell even a small error would wipe out the whole clause as invalid, im to tired and not in the mood right now to take it in and comment on it more than that.

my god...
Virgin TV
  1. We will not continue to provide you with television services if we find out that you do not have a valid television licence.
  2. Nothing in this agreement entitles you to receive any Pay-Per-View or programmes on demand, although we may from time to time advertise Pay-Per-View or programmes on demand for you to buy. To buy a Pay-Per-View or programmes on demand you must follow the instructions given. When you buy a particular Pay-Per-View or programme on demand, you are only able to receive that Pay-Per-View or programme on demand. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any mistakes in our electronic programming guides.

That pay-per-view clause made me choke on my chicken pie. Have they never heard of the Trade Descriptions Act?

"What does the Trade Descriptions Act require?

Any descriptions of goods and services, given by a person acting in the course of a trade or business, should be accurate and not misleading."


Since you purchase the pay-per-view directly from the scheduler (at least you do on Sky I presume it is the same for Virgin) then clearly if the scheduler is wrong they are liable under the Trade Descriptions Act and no matter what they put in their terms to the contrary they cannot escape this liability.

Bunch of bloody muppets.
