The present circumstances, the explanation of how they were reached would be long and unnecessary, are :-

(A) A friend has a newish Virgin Media contract for broadband and telephone..

(B) My friend has a black-and-white printout of a three-page document headed "Your Virgin Media Contract" and dated "Monday 3rd June 2019"; but does not have that document in electronic form. The printout does not include a URL for the document itself.

(C) On pages 1, 2, 3 of the contract document there are, respectively, 1, 3, 3 instances of the word "here", in grey. From the context and the colour, these are obviously, when on screen, seven clickable links.

(D) We need to know the URLs of those seven links, in sequence, as the destinations are in essence part of the Contract.

It would be best if some kind person with an electronic copy of such a contract document to hand would click those links and copy the destinations into a follow-up article to be posted here, or obtain the same effect with other means such as GREP or MINITRUE; or would E-mail the contract (or the relevant parts) to me (noting that kind act here so I don't get more copies than needed).

Pick some unique sounding phrases from the printout and search for them,
possibly adding a "site:virginmedia.co.uk" term?

Please don't feed the trolls

Brian Gaff was thinking very hard :
Its laziness and sharp practice to hide them in this way.
So many people who offer services these days have nothing to do with
internet services but have merely gone down the online route with no contact
telephone number.
It is discriminatory, since many many do not have web access.
I'll get off my soapbox now.

Who bothers to read them anyway?

Plusnet do seem to insist on their people actually reading out the
terms of their contract, when you agree to a contract - not a
recording, but an operator reading in out and rather pointlessly,
because they speak so quickly, you do not have time to absorb it.

The document is not a published Web page, as it contains the customer's name and (badly written) address. Each page is headed with a very unique-looking DocuSign ID.

It also helps to put the unique looking phrase between its own
inverted commas to indicate to Google you want the phrase, and
not separate occurrences of the component words.

Yes; what it now leads to does not necessarily show exactly what is in the contract in question, but what it shows should be similar enough to be a useful guide. Thanks.

Not found. The document that we have is clearly machine-built, from parts.

That is consistent with a past contract we had from VM, which was sent
(by prior agreement) as a PDF attachment to an email from docusign.net.

Seems to me a fuss about nothing given - as others have indicated - it's
easy to get a copy online. Or to ask for one to be sent by email - by
calling 150 or sending a message.

Indeed. But the document contains a sufficient number of words which are not common in combination, one such being "Winnall". With those, a whole-Web search finds less than a screenful, all of which are obviously not what is wanted.
