We will do this unless you ask us not to, or an appropriate socket is not available, or the Box cannot be connected for another reason. In connecting the Box to the socket we will use the nearest available socket and any cabling will be clipped to the relevant skirting.

In this section A, references to “we” or “us” shall be read as references to SHS.
1. Digital Satellite System
(a) We will supply and install a Digital Satellite System at your Address. We will select the make and model of the equipment supplied at our discretion.
(b) On installation the Digital Satellite System will become your property, except for the software in the Box, which is owned by, or licensed to us or another member of the British Sky Broadcasting group (see Section B1(h) below).
2. Warranty
(a) The Digital Satellite System comes with a warranty against faults arising in the first 12 months after installation. This also covers cabling and/or installation faults. The following are not covered by the warranty: (i) faults arising from misuse; (ii) accidental or deliberate damage; (iii) cosmetic damage which does not affect the functionality of the Digital Satellite System; and (iv) damage caused by events outside the reasonable control of SHS or its suppliers. To report a fault, please call SHS on 08442 411 602. If a reported fault cannot be remedied by one of our engineers during a visit to your home, then we will replace the faulty Box or Minidish or the faulty component of it. Any replacement equipment will be new or “as new” (previously used equipment that has been refurbished by the manufacturer or its authorised agent). We will warrant any repair or replacement until the later of the end of the original 12 month warranty period or 3 months from the date it was carried out. This warranty only applies to equipment purchased under these Conditions and does not affect your statutory rights.
3. Installation
(a) Once your application has been processed we will organise a day for installation which is convenient for both of us. You must ensure that we are able to access your Address on the appointed day to deliver and install your Digital Satellite System.
(b) The installation of your Digital Satellite System may require the agreement or consent of someone else, for example, your landlord or the local council or authority. You are responsible for ensuring that all these agreements and consents have been obtained before we install your Digital Satellite System. (c) If you already have satellite equipment and you want us to remove it, you must be the owner of it. It must not be subject to any rental, finance or other agreement with any other company or person.4. Additional Works
(a) A “standard installation” assumes that no additional cabling, bracketry or other equipment is required or any works are required which are beyond the scope usual in a normal installation. An installation may not be standard where, for example, your Minidish needs to be sited above two storeys, or more than 20 metres away from your Box. A “standard installation” further assumes that if you already have satellite equipment, you will not continue to use it and your existing cabling will be used in the connection of the Digital Satellite System.
(b) If the installation of your Digital Satellite System is not standard you will be charged a reasonable sum for any additional equipment or works that are required. You will be advised about these charges before your Digital Satellite System is installed, which may need to be rearranged for another time. If you do not agree to those charges, you may cancel your installation, and we (or your retailer as applicable) will repay anything you have already paid.
(c) If you already have satellite equipment and you wish to continue using it, or have it moved to another position at your Address, you must tell us at least 24 hours prior to the installation, and in that case a separate installation charge may be payable by you. If so, we will advise you of the amount of this charge, which must be paid before the day of installation of your Digital Satellite System.Please call 08442 411 602 for further details and full installation options.

If possible, viewing card inactivations will be advertised on your television screen.(b) We may make the Viewing Card invalid if it is necessary to protect the security of our conditional access system or, if we believe you are using the Viewing Card in ways which are not authorised, or where it is otherwise reasonable for us to do so (such as fraud).
3. Lost, stolen or malfunctioning Viewing Cards
(a) If your Viewing Card is lost, stolen, damaged or faulty, you must tell us immediately either by phoning 08442 411 602 or by writing to us at PO Box 43, Livingston, West Lothian EH54 7DD.

IMPORTANT TERMS OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION CONTRACTS
Please take a few minutes to read the following important terms. Further terms and conditions are set out below which you should also read carefully.
The further terms and conditions relevant to Sky's products and services, including Sky digital, Multiroom, Sky Box Office and other pay-per-view events are set out below, except the terms and conditions for Sky+ and Sky+HD which are supplied with your Sky+HD Box.
Can I subscribe to Sky’s services?
Yes, if you are 18 or over and the services are only used at your home in either the UK (including the Isle of Man and Channel Islands) or Republic of Ireland. If you move, or change your contact details you must tell us.
Sky digital Subscription Contract
This Contract sets out the conditions which you and Sky have to keep to in relation to the Sky digital service, including the On Demand service (where available). This service does not include HD/3D or pay-per-view services; these are supplied under their own standard terms. The Contract also doesn’t cover channels which are not part of the Sky digital service, such as the non-subscription channels you currently receive with freesat from Sky (called the "Free to View Channels" in your freesat from Sky terms and conditions).
Sky Multiroom Subscription
With a Multiroom subscription you receive the same Service as you receive under your first Sky digital subscription through an extra Box, for an additional subscription charge. This means that you and your family can watch different Sky digital programming on two separate TVs in your house.How long does a subscription last?
Each subscription lasts for a minimum of 12 months (the Minimum Term) from the first date we enable your Box to receive your chosen Service(s) (usually when you first insert your Viewing Card into the Box), unless you or we are allowed to end it earlier. We will charge you for the relevant service from this date. For details of when the contracts can be ended earlier see Condition 11 of the Sky digital Subscription Contract and Conditions 6, 7 and 8 of the Multiroom Subscription Contract. If you have ordered your Sky products and services directly from Sky by telephone, via the internet, by text or via Sky Interactive, you have the right to cancel your Contracts as set out in 'Your Rights to Cancel' at the end of this Contracts Booklet. If you ordered your Sky products from one of our door-to-door sales agents please refer to the cancellation policy set out in the documentation left with you by our sales agent. If your Sky digital Subscription Contract or your Multiroom Subscription(s) Contract end during the relevant Minimum Term (other than where you have a right to end them either under the terms of the relevant Contract or under ‘Your Rights to Cancel’), we will charge you an early termination charge. We may charge these amounts directly to the credit or debit card which you have provided us with details of, e.g. when you paid for the installation of your Digital Satellite System and, by entering into these contracts, you are authorising us to do so. We will give you reasonable notice before these charges are made. For more information about these charges go to sky.com/earlytermination
Will the price of my subscription(s) rise during the Minimum Term?
Under the Sky digital Subscription Contract we can increase the prices for the Stand-alone Premium Channels or extra Sky Premium Channels at any time during the Minimum Term.However, in all other cases we can only increase the relevant Subscription Payment once during the Minimum Term. This increase won't affect you during the first 60 days of your subscription to your chosen service(s) and will not be more than either 10% of your subscription or the increase in the UK Retail Price Index over the last 12 months before we tell you about that price increase, whichever is greater.
Under the Sky digital Subscription Contract, if at any time you change your chosen Service, you will pay the then current price for your new Service from the day you first receive it.
When don’t these limits apply to my subscription prices?
The limits on price increases do not apply after the Minimum Term of the relevant contract. The limits on increasing your Subscription Payments during the Minimum Term don't apply to any increase in your Subscription Payment for your first Sky digital subscription where we add extra channels to your chosen Option and you choose to take them or, if you choose to take any extra Sky Premium Channels or Additional TV Services we may offer you. The limits also don't apply where, following a request or requirement by any regulatory authority or, as required by law, (including any changes in Value Added Tax), we change any aspect of our pricing which affects your Subscription Payment directly or our pricing structures generally. If, during the Minimum Term, you choose not to receive extra channels we have told you we have added to your chosen Option under the Sky digital Subscription Contract, your Subscription Payment will not increase until the end of your Minimum Term when you will automatically receive all the channels in your chosen Option (including the extra channels) and pay the then current price for it.How much notice will I get if you increase prices?
We promise to give you at least 31 days notice before we put the price of your subscription(s) up, unless the price increase results from you changing your Service under your Sky digital Subscription Contract or we are required to increase our prices by law (including any changes in Value Added Tax), or because a regulatory authority requests or requires us to do so (if this happens we will try to give you reasonable notice). If you are not the payer of the relevant subscription, you must tell the payer of any price increase notice we send you.Will the Service change?
The Service may change, as it is variable. This means that we can change programming, change or withdraw any Option or Additional TV Service, and change, withdraw or interrupt the Channels you receive in your Service. Your chosen Option may offer you a variety of Channels which are broadcast by various broadcasters, including Sky. Although we aim to provide Channels that cover a wide range of interests, unfortunately we cannot guarantee the availability of any particular Channel or programme.You can change your chosen Service during your subscription, but if this will reduce your Subscription Payment you need to give us at least 31 days notice (unless this results from us varying or withdrawing your Option). We may charge a reasonable administration fee to change your Service which we will let you know in advance.
Other important points about your channels and services
• If we change any premium bonus channel in your chosen Option into a channel which you would normally have to pay extra to get, or withdraw any Channel in your Basic Pack, you'll continue to get that Channel as part of your Option at no extra cost until the end of your Minimum Term (except for any Channel in your chosen Basic Pack where the channel's owner won't agree that you can receive it in this way). If we introduce a charge for any other channel, we'll give you reasonable notice of what charge will apply if you wish to carry on receiving it.
• You can add one or more Stand-alone Premium Channels to your chosen Option.
• Premium bonus Channels and additional Channels and Additional TV Services are provided at Sky's discretion and you don't pay any extra for this part of your Service. Additional TV Services may be subject to eligibility and certain equipment may be required.
• In order to receive On Dmeqndyou currently need a compatible Sky+HD box, a Sky+ subscription (which is subject to the Sky+ Subscription Terms and Conditions which will be supplied to you separately if you choose to take the service) and a residential broadband service. Broadband usage limits apply.Other important points about your Multiroom Subscription
• Each Multiroom subscription you take out can only be viewed at the same Address as your first Sky digital subscription.
• The Box used to receive your first Sky digital subscription must always be connected to a fixed and operational telephone line while any Multiroom subscription is in place. All the Boxes used to receive your Multiroom subscription(s) must also be connected to this line and number and you must let us collect information through this line, including your telephone number (caller line identification or CLI).Will I be accepted as a Sky digital subscriber?
You may not be accepted if you owe us any money or your credit or fraud score is unsatisfactory. We can administer your account as we believe reasonable depending on the result of that or any future scoring, which may include applying different payment terms to your account. We may use information from, or supply information to, outside agencies for credit assessment and/or fraud prevention purposes.
How do special offers affect my Contract(s)?
If you take up a special offer, the terms and conditions of the relevant products and services will be varied to take account of the offer terms and conditions.

You must pay us Subscription Payments every month in advance. Your first Subscription Payment may be taken at the time you order Sky digital. For both Direct Debit and credit card options we will collect further amounts due automatically from your account each month after we have sent you your first Viewing Card.
(b) You can select a different Service. If any change will result in a reduction to your Subscription Payment you must give us at least 31 days notice (unless this Contract is lawfully terminated before the end of such notice period or where Conditions 3(b) (iii) or (iv) apply). We can charge a reasonable administration fee if you wish to change your Service. We will let you know the amount of any fee in advance. You can only choose one of the Options, and you can also choose to add any Stand-alone Premium Channels we may offer. You cannot choose individual Channels within any Option.
(c) We may increase your Subscription Payment at any time by giving you at least 31 days notice. This includes increases under Condition 2(d), unless Condition 2(d)(ii) applies when we will try to give you as much reasonable notice as possible. However, during the Minimum Term, unless it is for a reason set out in Conditions 2(d) or 4, we may increase the price of your Option only once and that increase will not be more than:
(i) 10%; or
(ii) the increase in the UK Retail Price Index over the 12 months before we tell you about that price increase, whichever is greater. This price increase will not affect you during the first 60 days after your Box was first enabled to receive the Service.
These limits do not apply to any Stand-alone Premium Channels or extra Sky Premium Channels (see Condition 4). Your Subscription Payment will also change during the Minimum Term if you change your Service and you will immediately pay the then current price for that new Service.
(d) We may also increase your Subscription Payment:
(i) if we add extra channels to your Option. During the Minimum Term you may choose not to receive these extra channels and your Subscription Payment will not increase as a result of this for the remainder of the Minimum Term. From the end of the Minimum Term you will receive all the channels included in your Option and pay the then current price for it; and/or
(ii) if required by law or if any regulatory authority requests or requires a change to any aspect of our pricing (including any changes in Value Added Tax) which affects your Subscription Payment directly or our pricing structure generally.
(e) We may alter your Direct Debit or credit card instruction if your Subscription Payment changes for any reason. We may also charge any other payment due under this Contract under your Direct Debit or credit card instruction together with any other payments which you agree that we may charge under that instruction.
(f) If you have missed any payments you owe to us or provided unauthorised payment or other details we can suspend provision of the Service, and/or provision of the satellite television magazine (if applicable) to you, without giving you notice. This does not affect our right to end this Contract under Condition 11 below.
(g) You acknowledge that any payments you make to Sky and any credits on your account will be applied to the full set of Sky services you receive and may be applied against any amounts you owe us for any Sky service.
3. Channels, Programming and Magazine
(a) We can replace or withdraw advertised or other programmes. We can change or reduce the number of hours of any Channel's broadcast. We may encrypt or unencrypt any Channel.
(b) We can vary or withdraw any Channel or Additional TV Service. We can vary or withdraw your Option. We will give you at least 31 days notice if, as a result of any such change, your Subscription Payment will change.
For example:
(i) If we withdraw any Sky Premium Channel or Stand-alone Premium Channel (either altogether or as part of your chosen Option), you will only have to pay the prevailing Subscription Payment for the Service you are actually receiving after we do so;
(ii) If we withdraw any Channels from your chosen Basic Pack then, until the end of your Minimum Term, if you request, you can keep the same Channels at no extra charge (other than price increases under Conditions 2(c) or 2(d)(ii)), except for Channels no longer offered by Sky, or where the owner of any Channel will not agree that you can receive it in this way;
(iii) If we vary your chosen Basic Pack you can move to another Option (in which case we will confirm to you how your Subscription Payment will change);
(iv) If we withdraw your chosen Option (other than by withdrawing a Sky Premium Channel, for which see (i) above), we will move you onto the nearest equivalent Option. If this happens during the Minimum Term, your Subscription Payment will not increase before the end of the Minimum Term (other than price increases under Conditions 2(c) or 2(d)). However, if you choose to move to a different Option we will confirm to you how your Subscription Payment will change.
(c) Many Channels that we provide are supplied by other broadcasters. Their availability, and the availability of programmes on such Channels, are outside our control.
(d) We may supply premium bonus, other, additional Channels or Additional TV Services with your Option which you will not have to pay extra for. Their availability may depend on your entitlement. We can withdraw or change these Channels or Additional TV Services without giving you notice. We can also change any premium bonus, additional Channels or Additional TV Services you are receiving into a Channel or service that you must pay for if you want to continue to receive it. If we do the latter in respect of a premium bonus channel during your Minimum Term you will continue receiving that Channel without payment until the end of your Minimum Term. If we introduce a charge for any additional Channel or Additional TV Services, we will tell you what charge will apply if you wish to continue to receive that Channel.
(e) Additional TV Services supplied to you may differ from that supplied to other viewers.
(f) We may supply a satellite television magazine from time to time. If we do you can elect not to receive the magazine by calling SSSL or via MySky and Sky can stop providing the magazine at any time without notice. The magazine may be supplied in a paper format or online or digital version.
(g) This Contract does not authorise you to receive any pay-per-view or HD services of any kind.
(h) You will not use the Service or any part of it other than to view the Channels in private for non-commercial purposes at your Address.
(i) In order to receive On Demand you currently need a compatible Sky+HD box, a Sky+ subscription (which is subject to the Sky+ Subscription Terms and Conditions which will be supplied to you separately if you choose to take the service) and a residential broadband service. Broadband usage limits apply. If your broadband service is provided by a third party we are not responsible for it and you should contact your provider if you experience problems with it.4. Extra Premium Channels
We may offer you extra Sky Premium Channels or Stand-alone Premium Channels. If we offer you these extra channels and you decide to take them, they will be included in the Service. We will confirm to you what charges apply to these Channels and how your Subscription Payment will change. The limits described in Condition 2(c) do not apply to any increase in your Subscription Payment for any reason listed in this Condition 4.
5. The Viewing Card
(a) The Viewing Card acts as a key so that you can unlock (unencrypt) encrypted digital satellite services (such as the Service). Having a Viewing Card does not mean you have a right to receive the Service. You are only entitled to one Viewing Card per Sky digital Subscription.
(b) SSSL continues to own the Viewing Card after it is sent to you and, if SSSL asks you to, you must return it after this Contract ends or when a replacement is sent to you.
(c) Only you may use the Viewing Card which SSSL sends you.

The software in your Box is owned by, or licensed to, Sky or another member of the British Sky Broadcasting group. You must allow SSSL to update the software in your Box by sending signals via satellite to your Box. You must not tamper with the software in the Box or authorise anybody else to do so.
(i) As part of the proper administration of the digital satellite platform, SSSL shall be entitled to disclose your name, Address, the services you receive via the Viewing Card and its number to Viewing Card manufacturers and providers of digital satellite services for which your Viewing Card is enabled.
(j) If your Box is connected to a telephone line, information may be passed from it to SSSL and vice versa by telephone.

If you are still subscribing to the Service under this Contract, SSSL will try to send you a new Viewing Card before the old one becomes invalid. Viewing card replacements will be advertised on your television screen, in the satellite television magazine or in writing. If you are no longer subscribing to the Service, you will not be entitled to a replacement Viewing Card under these Conditions.
(b) SSSL may make the Viewing Card invalid if it is necessary to protect the security of Sky's conditional access system or if it believes you are using the Viewing Card in ways which are not authorised, or where it is otherwise reasonable to do so (such as fraud).

(a) If your Viewing Card is lost, stolen, damaged or faulty you must tell SSSL immediately either by telephone (08442 41 41 41 if you live in the UK or 0818 719 819 if you live in the Republic of Ireland) or by writing to:
SSSL, PO Box 43, Livingston, West Lothian EH54 7DD UK.
(b) If your Viewing Card is damaged or faulty and you return it, SSSL will replace it free of charge if it had a defect when it was supplied to you.

SSSL will make invalid any Viewing Card that you tell it does not work and is replaced, or is lost or stolen.

(f) any loss or damage caused by us, SSSL or any of our respective officers, employees or agents in circumstances where:

Unless Conditions 11(a) or (b) apply, you must subscribe to the Service for at least the Minimum Term. The Contract will continue after this time unless it is ended according to the Conditions below.

MULTIROOM SUBSCRIPTION
1. Under these Conditions you can take out one or more extra subscriptions (“Multiroom Subscriptions” ) to the Service you receive under your first Sky digital Subscription Contract. You cannot select a different Service for your Multiroom Subscription(s). Any terms used and not defined here have the same meaning as given in your Sky digital Subscription Contract.

(a) if required by law or if any regulatory authority requests or requires a change to any aspect of our pricing which affects your Multiroom Subscription payments directly or our pricing structure generally; if this happens we will try to give you as much reasonable notice as possible; or
(b) if you break these Conditions and we exercise our rights under Condition 8(b) below.
The limits in Conditions 4(a)-(c) do not apply if we increase your Multiroom Subscription for a reason set out in this Condition 5.6. Each Multiroom Subscription must only be viewed at the same Address as your first subscription. At all times while any Multiroom Subscription is in place:

(b) all the Boxes used to receive your Multiroom Subscription(s) must also be connected to this line and number:

(a) end all or any of your Multiroom Subscription(s) by giving you at least seven days' notice; or
(b) end your entitlement to the Multiroom Subscription price on giving you at least 31 days notice (in which case the terms of the Sky digital Subscription Contract will apply to your Multiroom Subscription(s)) in place of these Conditions, and you will immediately pay the then current full price for the Service you are receiving under these Conditions.9. If we break these Conditions then you can end all or any of your Multiroom Subscription(s) by giving us at least seven days' notice. You can end each of your Multiroom Subscription(s) after the first 12 months of that Multiroom Subscription by giving us one 31 days notice.
10. Each Multiroom Subscription must stay in force for at least 12 months from the date the relevant Box is first activated to receive the Multiroom Service (“Minimum Term”) and you will have to pay us an early termination charge if any of your Multiroom Subscriptions end before the end of the relevant Minimum Term unless you end your Multiroom Subscription(s) because one of the following applies to you:(a) You are exercising your right to cancel as set out in ‘Your Rights to Cancel’ at the end of this Contracts Booklet; or

(e) We have told you that we are going to change the Conditions of your Multiroom Contract and you reasonably consider that you will be materially disadvantaged by this.The early termination charge under this Contract shall not be more than the charges you would have paid for your Multiroom Subscription(s) for the reminder of the relevant Minimum Term less any costs we save, including the cost of no longer providing you with the Service. We may charge your early termination charge directly to the debit or credit card which you have provided us with details (e.g. when you paid for the installation of your Box(es)), and by accepting the terms of this Contract you authorise us to do so. We will give you reasonable notice before making any charges. For more information about these charges go to sky.com/earlytermination
