Key Information about your Credit Agreement

Sky UK Limited and Sky Subscribers Services Limited

This Key Information document contains important information about your Credit
Agreement with Sky UK Limited (“Sky”) (FCA Authorisation Number 712293)
and Sky Subscribers Services Limited (“SSSL”) including your legal rights and
obligations under it. In this document “we”, “our” and “us” are references to Sky
and other members of the Sky group.

You should carefully consider the information in this document together with
the accompanying Pre-Contract Credit Information. The Pre-Contract Credit
Information tells you the amount of credit you will take out and your monthly
repayments.

The purpose of the Pre-Contract Credit Information and this document is to help
you decide whether you wish to take out a loan and enter into a Fixed Sum Loan
Agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (“Credit Agreement”)
with us to finance your purchase of goods (defined in the Credit Agreement as
“Equipment”) from us, given your needs and financial situation. You will also be
agreeing to our sale contract for the purchase of the goods (“Sale Contract”).

You can also have a copy of the Credit Agreement and the Sale contract before
you enter into an agreement with us. If you still have any questions after you read
this document or the Pre-Contract Credit Information, the Credit Agreement, or
the Sale contract please contact us in any of the ways shown at the end of this
document.

1. What is a “Fixed Sum Loan Agreement”?


A "Fixed Sum Loan Agreement” is a fixed-sum loan provided to you under a Credit
Agreement with Sky and SSSL which can only be used to finance your purchase
of Equipment from us. We will not charge you any interest or set-up charge on a
Credit Agreement. You should be aware that if you decide to withdraw from your
Credit Agreement we will treat the Credit Agreement as if it had never been entered
into - see 'What if I change my mind?' below.

2. How will the repayments be collected?


We will collect your repayments by continuous payment method. If you wish to
make an earlier repayment in full or in part please let us know and we can arrange
to take payment from you.

3. What happens if I fail to make the repayments under the Credit Agreement?
Missing repayments could have serious consequences.

It could adversely affect your credit records, which may make it more difficult or
more expensive to obtain credit in the future.

You may also be required to repay the amount outstanding under your loan in full
ahead of the scheduled repayments.

If you fall behind on your repayments we will refer you to our internal team who will
work with you to help you catch up on your missed repayments.

Continued failure to make the repayments could result in legal proceedings


(including, as a last resort, bankruptcy proceedings or sequestration proceedings if
you live in Scotland) being taken against you to recover any amounts outstanding
under the Credit Agreement. If we obtain judgment against you we may seek
to secure this judgment by way of charging order over your home, which might
ultimately result in your home being repossessed, or if you live in Scotland we
may seek to enforce this judgment by way of an action for payment, inhibition,
adjudication or arrestment which can have the effect of freezing and/or seizing
your assets.

We may also need to refer your case to a debt collection agency which will be
responsible for collecting any outstanding repayments from you.
Missing repayments will also mean you are not eligible to sell your Equipment back
to us under our swap equipment programmes.

4. What are my rights?


Your rights include entitlement to: certain pre-contract credit information and
explanations; a copy of the Credit Agreement; annual statements of account; and
a statement of account on request. You also have a right to withdraw from your
Credit Agreement within 14 days, and repay the amount of credit early in full or in
part at any time.

Also, if we choose not to proceed with your application for credit on the basis of
information provided to us by a credit reference agency, we must inform you of this
and give you the details of that credit reference agency.

5. What if I change my mind?


You have the right to withdraw from the Credit Agreement, without giving any
reason, by notifying us within 14 days beginning with the day after:

(a) the day on which the Credit Agreement is made;


(b) the day on which you receive your Equipment; or
(c) the day we give you a signed copy of the Credit Agreement (whichever is later).

You can tell us that you wish to cancel by:

• phone: 03300 41 25 24;


• visit: "Contact Us” section at sky.com and completing the online cancellation form
or using Live Chat to speak to one of our advisors;
• writing to us: at Sky Subscribers Services Limited, PO Box 43, Livingston, West
Lothian, EH54 7DD; or
• email: MDThorndike@sky.uk

If you decide to withdraw from your Credit Agreement we will treat the Credit
Agreement as if it had never been entered into. If you withdraw from the Credit
Agreement and do not return your Equipment to us as a result of exercising your
cancellation rights for your Equipment (which are different to your right to withdraw
from the Credit Agreement), or are outside the cancellation period, you will have to
repay the amount of credit in full to purchase the Equipment outright. You must do
this without delay and, in any event, no later than 30 days after the day you gave us
notice of withdrawal. If do not want to purchase the Equipment and want to return
it to us, you must also exercise your rights to cancel your order under the Sale
contract, take reasonable care of the Equipment and return it to us in accordance
with our instructions.

Your Credit Agreement is made on the day you sign it and we will provide you with
a copy of the executed Credit Agreement.

early what you owe us and we may take legal proceedings against you to recover
any amounts outstanding under this Credit Agreement. We exchange information

being repossessed, or if you live in Scotland, an action for payment, adjudication,
inhibition, arrestment or sequestration.

Equipment by you. If the Equipment is not supplied by us or does not conform to

following the day we receive your notice, or on or before any later date specified in

12.1 You must repay the amount of credit set out in condition 3 above (‘Key
financial details (amount of credit and repayments)’) by monthly Repayments in
accordance with the repayment schedule we have agreed (also set out in condition
3 above).

12.2 Unless we agree otherwise, you must have a continuous payment method
set up with us at all times (for example, direct debit), which we will use to take your
Repayments on or around the date we agreed.

12.3 If you do not make the Repayments when they are due we will consider this
a serious breach of this Credit Agreement and may terminate it by giving you the
required statutory default notice in writing. Please let us know as soon as possible
if you are having problems making your Repayments or think there is a mistake in
the Repayment amounts notified to you so that we can check this.

Repayment made late under this Credit Agreement.

12.5 Your obligation to make Repayments under this Credit Agreement is not
dependent on us providing any goods or services other than the Equipment listed
above.
12.6 Unless you have asked us to apply them towards repaying your credit
early (in full or in part) under condition 9 above, you acknowledge that any one-off
payments you make to us will be applied first to amounts outstanding under the
contract you have with Sky for which fees or interest will be charged for late
payment and for which the amounts have been owing to Sky for the longest period
of time. If two amounts have been outstanding for the same length of time and no
fees or interest for late payment are charged for either, any payments you make will
be used to repay the credit under this Credit Agreement first (with any remaining
amounts being applied towards your other Sky contract).

12.7 If you take other products and services from us (for example, Sky TV or Sky
Broadband), we will not take any action to terminate or restrict those products or
services if you do not make the Repayments when they are due even if the contract

Agreement early as described under condition 9 above.

14. Ending the Credit Agreement (including on default)


14.1 In addition to the consequences if you miss payments under the Credit
Agreement (see conditions 7 and 12 above), we may end the Credit Agreement
and require you to immediately repay the credit outstanding (whether or not due for
payment at that time) and any other charges which are due, by giving any required
statutory notice in writing, if you:
(a) fail to pay us a Repayment on the date it is due or within 7 days of the due date;
(b) break any of the conditions of the Credit Agreement in any other material way;
(c) break any condition of the Sale contract in any material way;
(d) (in the case of a breach which can be remedied) do not remedy a breach under
conditions 14.1(a) – (c) above within the period specified in a default or similar
notice we send you;
(e) or anyone you authorise to deal with your Sky account acts in a way towards our
staff or agents which we reasonably consider to be inappropriate and sufficiently
serious to justify ending your Credit Agreement;

is presented or made (or, if you live in Scotland, entered into), or you become
apparently insolvent, have a proposal for a voluntary arrangement made in relation
to you or (if you live in Scotland) you become sequestrated or have a trustee in
sequestration appointed or a grant of trust deed for the benefit of your creditors is
presented or made; or
(g) have provided unauthorised payment or other details or we have reasonable
grounds to suspect fraud, attempted fraud or any other unauthorised activity.

14.2 If we end the Credit Agreement under conditions 14.1 above it shall not
affect your obligation to repay any outstanding balance due to us but will result in
you having to repay this to us sooner than agreed in condition 3.1.

15. Changes to this Credit Agreement (including replacing your Equipment)


15.1 We may change or add to any of the conditions in the Further Terms
and Conditions section of this Credit Agreement to make them clearer or easier to
understand or to reflect changes in law or regulation.

15.2 We may also change or add to any of the conditions in the Further Terms
and Conditions section of this Credit Agreement to update our contracts from time
to time so all our customers are on the same conditions.

15.3 We will notify you in writing via a notice of variation (“NOV”) at least 31 days
before any changes or additions to these conditions come into effect unless we
are required to make changes or additions immediately for valid legal or regulatory
reasons in which case we will give you as much notice as reasonably possible.

15.4 If you change your Equipment by exercising your cooling off rights or
your Equipment is replaced under the Sale Contract (for example, we replace
your Equipment because it is faulty or defective) but the same Equipment is not
reasonably available and your amount of credit and monthly Repayments stay the
same, the replacement Equipment we supply will be at least equivalent to the
original Equipment. We may record this amendment by issuing a NOV and this
Credit Agreement will be deemed amended accordingly.
16. Notices
16.1 Unless otherwise agreed, you must provide us with an email address which
we may use to keep you updated about your Credit Agreement. You should check

A written notice may refer you to other widely available (written or non-written)
means for specific details or further information (for example, a free phone

you notice in writing or we’ll notify you using another appropriate method including
during a phone call, on sky.com or, if you are also a Sky TV customer, on the Sky
information channel the Sky TV box tunes to when it is turned on.

16.6 If a notice given in writing is sent with any other document the notice will
be clearly marked and, if sent by post, on a separate sheet of paper.
16.7 Any notice you give us (other than where you are exercising your right to
cancel during your cooling-off period, for which see ‘Right of withdrawal’ above, or
you are exercising your right to repay this Credit Agreement early in full or in part,
for which see condition 9.1 above) must be given by phone (03442 41 44 14) or
by using one of our online messaging options on sky.com. Notice given by these
means will be processed immediately. You can also write to us (Sky Subscribers
Services Limited, PO Box 43, Livingston, West Lothian, EH54 7DD) or e-mail
us via mysky@sky.uk. If notice is given by these means we may need to verify
account information before the notice is effective (and once verified the notice
will be effective from the date of the original notice). We will acknowledge written
notices by return letter or email and will contact you separately if we need to verify
any account information.

16.8 Where you are required to give us a specific period of notice we may agree
to a longer period of notice from you but we can refuse this where reasonable to
do so (for example where a longer period would be complicated to administer).

17. General
17.1 If we don’t exercise a right we have under this Credit Agreement, it does
not mean that we have waived this right.

17.2 If any provision of this Credit Agreement is found to be invalid or


unenforceable, the remaining conditions will continue to apply.

17.3 Sky and SSSL can transfer our rights and obligations under this Credit
Agreement, and disclose your account information, to any member of the Sky
group of companies or any other company, firm or person either as a variation
to this Credit Agreement or as a new contract provided in either case this does
not affect your rights under this Credit Agreement in a negative way. Where a new
contract will be entered into this will become effective 31 days after we notify you
in writing of the transfer.

17.4 Sky and SSSL can assign or transfer our rights under this Credit
Agreement, and disclose your account information, to any member of the Sky
group of companies or any other company, firm or person provided that this does
not affect your rights under this Credit Agreement in a negative way.
17.5 This Credit Agreement is personal to you. You may not transfer your rights or
obligations under this Credit Agreement to anyone else unless we agree otherwise,
and no third party is entitled to benefit under this Credit Agreement except pursuant
to condition 17.3 and 17.4 above.

17.6 The Credit Agreement is governed by English law, unless you live in
Scotland or Northern Ireland, in which case it will be governed by Scots law or
Northern Irish law (as applicable). Any disputes under this Credit Agreement
shall be dealt with by the courts of the country whose law governs your Credit
Agreement, unless you live in Northern Ireland or Scotland in which case you can
choose to bring a dispute before the courts in your country or the English courts
instead. We will only communicate with you in English in relation to this Credit
Agreement.
It is important that you have read and understood this Credit Agreement
(including the terms and conditions set out above) before you sign this Credit
Agreement. If you are unsure or have any questions about any aspect of this
Credit Agreement (including the terms and conditions) please contact us or
