2. Information we give you

By law, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 say that we must give you certain key information before a legally binding contract of sale between you and us is made (see the summary box below). We shall give you this information in a clear and understandable way either in this contract or the relevant programme or service description we agree between us.
I shall give you information on:
