Last updated: 1 April 2026
By accessing or using the website blackinkynothingness.com ("the Site"), operated by BLACK INKY NOTHINGNESS LTD ("we," "us," or "our"), a company registered in England & Wales (Company No. 14829367), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not use the Site.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and BLACK INKY NOTHINGNESS LTD. We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time, and such changes will be effective upon posting to this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the Site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
Black Inky Nothingness is a referral and comparison platform that connects UK homeowners with vetted home security installation professionals. Our service includes providing educational content about smart home security systems, facilitating comparisons between different security solutions, and introducing homeowners to qualified security installers who can assess their needs and provide tailored quotations.
Important: We are not a home security installation company. We do not install, manufacture, sell, maintain, or service security systems, alarm systems, CCTV cameras, smart locks, or any related equipment. We are a referral and information service only. Any installation work, contracts, or warranties are between you and the installer directly.
Our service to homeowners is provided free of charge. We generate revenue through referral arrangements with our security installer partners, as described in Section 4 below.
To use our services, you must:
By using the Site and submitting any forms, you represent and warrant that you meet all of the above eligibility requirements. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not use our services.
Black Inky Nothingness is a commercial service. We receive compensation from home security installation companies when we refer potential customers to them. This compensation may take the form of referral fees, commissions, lead fees, or other payments.
This commercial relationship may influence which installers we recommend, how information is presented on the Site, and the order in which options appear in our comparison tools. However, we are committed to providing accurate and helpful information regardless of commercial considerations.
This site may receive compensation from partners and is not an independent professional advisory service. The inclusion of any security company, product, or service on our Site does not constitute an endorsement. We encourage you to conduct your own research and obtain multiple quotes before making any purchasing decisions.
The information provided on this Site is for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute professional security consulting, risk assessment, insurance advice, legal advice, or any other form of professional advice.
Specifically:
We strongly recommend obtaining an independent, professional security assessment from a qualified installer before making significant decisions about your home security.
When you request an assessment or quote through our Site, your information is shared with one or more third-party home security installation companies. These are independent businesses and are not employees, agents, contractors, or affiliates of Black Inky Nothingness.
We are not responsible for:
Any contract for security system installation or services is between you and the installer directly. We encourage you to verify credentials, check references, confirm insurance coverage, read contracts carefully, and obtain multiple quotes before proceeding with any installation.
When using our Site, you agree to:
While we make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information on our Site is accurate and up to date, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, timeliness, or suitability of any information, product comparisons, cost estimates, or other content on the Site.
The home security industry is subject to frequent changes in technology, pricing, regulations, and product availability. Information on our Site may become outdated, and we are under no obligation to update it. Always verify current details directly with the relevant installer or manufacturer.
All content on this Site, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, design elements, software, and the compilation thereof, is the property of BLACK INKY NOTHINGNESS LTD or its content licensors and is protected by United Kingdom and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, display, perform, publish, licence, create derivative works from, transfer, or commercially exploit any content from this Site without our prior written consent. Limited personal, non-commercial use is permitted provided you do not modify the content and you retain all copyright and proprietary notices.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BLACK INKY NOTHINGNESS LTD, its directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to:
Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the Site shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to us (if any) in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred pounds sterling (£100). Since our service is free to homeowners, this effectively limits our maximum liability to £100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
The Site and all content, information, and services provided through it are offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.
We do not warrant that:
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BLACK INKY NOTHINGNESS LTD, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms, or your use of the Site, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
Nothing in these Terms shall affect your statutory rights as a consumer under English law, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
