12. YOUR VIEWING CARD

A. Your Viewing Card acts as a key so that you can unlock (unencrypt) the Service. Having the Viewing Card does not mean you have a right to own the Viewing Card after it is sent to you and does not mean you have the right to receive the Service. The Viewing Card remains the property of SSSL. If (NOLLYWOOD) or SSSL asks you to, you must return the Viewing Card after the Contract comes to an end or if (NOLLYWOOD) or SSSL requires you, to return it when it sends you a replacement.

B. Only you may use the Viewing Card which (NOLLYWOOD) or SSSL sends you. You can use the Viewing Card at your Address only with the Digibox in which it is first used to receive the Service and you must use it for private viewing purposes only. You must not use it for any commercial or business purposes (including without limitation any use in a pub, office, club or similar premises) or in any premises other than your Address.

C. If you give the Viewing Card to anybody else (NOLLYWOOD) or SSSL can make it invalid.

D. You must not tamper with the Viewing Card or Digibox or use it for anything that (NOLLYWOOD) or SSSL do not authorise.

E. In order to continue to receive the Service without interruption your Viewing Card must be kept in your Digibox at all times and you will need to keep the Digibox connected to a mains supply and suitable satellite dish and in standby mode when not in use. You must allow (NOLLYWOOD) or SSSL to update the software in your Digibox by sending additional signals via satellite to your Digibox. The software in your Digibox remains SSSL's property.

F. (NOLLYWOOD) and SSSL shall be entitled to disclose your name address and the Services you receive via the Viewing Card as part of the proper administration of the digital satellite system.

G. Your Viewing Card must not be used outside the country (either the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland) it was supplied for use in and any change of Address must be notified to (NOLLYWOOD) and SSSL immediately.

13. SEVERABILITY Notwithstanding that the whole or any part of any provision of these Terms and Conditions may prove to be illegal or unenforceable the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions and the remainder of the provisions in question shall remain in full force and effect.

14. LAW (a) This Contract is governed by the laws of England and Wales. If your address is in the Republic of Ireland any dispute can be dealt with in the courts of England and Wales or the Republic of Ireland.

(b) This Contract only applies if your Address is in either the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. If you move home from the United Kingdom to the Republic or Ireland or vice versa then you will need to enter into a new Contract for the country you are moving to. Your Subscription Payment and the Channels available to you may change as result of that move.
