Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.

11.2 When we are liable for damage to your property. If we are providing services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so.

11.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Goods to you for domestic and private use. If you use the Goods for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

11.4 Our responsibility if we fail provide the Service with reasonable skill and care is limited. If we fail to provide the Service with reasonable skill and care our liability to you will be limited to the Contract price.

11.5 This clause 11 shall continue even when the Contract has ended.

12.1 We will take reasonable steps to prevent or minimise delay caused by an event outside our reasonable control.

12.3 If the event outside of our control prevents us from providing any of the Services and/or Goods for more than twelve (12) weeks, either of us we will, without affecting our other rights or remedies, have the right to terminate this Contract immediately by giving written notice.

(b) A notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been received: if delivered personally, when left at the address referred to in clause 13.2(a); if sent by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service, at 9.00 am on the second Business Day after posting; if delivered by commercial courier, on the date and at the time that the courier’s delivery receipt is signed; or, if sent by e-mail, one Business Day after transmission.

(c) The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.

 

13.3 If the court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

 

13.4 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us: (a) to supply the Goods and Services to you;

(b) to process your payment for the Goods and Services; and

(c) if you agree to this during the order process, to inform you about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving these communications at any time by contacting us.
