Limitation of liability

Nothing in these terms of use is or should be interpreted as an attempt to modify, limit or exclude any right or remedy, or any guarantee, term, condition, warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation, implied or imposed by legislation which cannot be modified, limited or excluded.

We exclude to the extent permitted by law all other guarantees, terms, conditions, warranties, undertakings, inducements or representations whether express or implied, statutory or otherwise, which would otherwise be implied into these terms of use concerning the activities covered by these terms of use.

Where any legislation implies or imposes a guarantee, term, condition, warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation in relation to these terms of use and we are not able to exclude that guarantee, term, condition, warranty, undertaking, inducement or representation (Non-Excludable Provision), and we are able to limit your remedy for a breach of the Non-Excludable Provision, then the our liability for breach of the Non-Excludable Provision is limited to (at our election):

  • in the case of services, the supplying of the services again (or the payment of the cost of doing so).
