Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these terms will affect the statutory rights that you may have as a consumer (if you are a consumer). Some countries or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability as stated in these terms and so, in those countries or jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations below will apply to you only to the extent permitted by the laws of such countries and jurisdictions.

Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you

Whether you are a consumer or a business user:

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

We exclude all implied conditions, warranties, representations or other terms that may apply to the site or any content that is available.

If you use the site for any commercial or business purposes we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption or loss of business opportunity.

If we supply defective digital content that damages a device or digital content belonging to you and the damage is caused solely by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, you might be able to ask for compensation under consumer protection law.
