a) death or personal injury caused by its negligence, or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);

b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

c) breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979;

d) defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or

e) any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for the Supplier to exclude or restrict liability.

16.2 Subject to clause 16.1:

a) the Supplier shall under no circumstances whatever be liable to the Customer, whether in contract, delict (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with the Contract; and

16.3 If you are a consumer, the Supplier only supplies the Goods for domestic and private use. You agree not to use the Goods for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, and the Supplier has no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

16.4 If you are a consumer, the Supplier is responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of the Supplier’s breach of the Terms or the Supplier’s negligence. Loss or damage is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence of the Supplier’s breach or if it was contemplated by you and the Supplier at the time of entering into this contract.

17 EVENT BEYOND THE SUPPLIER’S CONTROL

17.1 Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under the Contract to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by an Event Beyond the Supplier’s Control.

18 CANCELLATION RIGHTS WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS A CONSUMER

18.1 This Clause shall only apply when the Customer is a consumer.

18.2 Before the Goods are delivered, you have the following rights to cancel an Order for Goods, including where you choose to cancel because the Supplier is affected by an Event Beyond the Supplier’s Control under Clause 17 or the Supplier changes these Terms and Conditions under clause 3.2 to your material disadvantage:

a) You may cancel any Order for Goods within 7 calendar days of placing an Order by contacting the Supplier. The Supplier will confirm your cancellation in writing to you.

b) If you cancel an Order under clause 18.2(a) and you have made any payment in advance for Goods that have not been delivered to you, we will refund these amounts to you.

c) Unfortunately, if you cancel an Order for Goods under clause 18.2(a) and the Supplier has already despatched your Goods to you, the Supplier will not be able to cancel your Order until it is delivered or collected. In this case, if you return the Goods to the Supplier, the Supplier will have to charge you the cost of collection or you will have to pay the cost of returning the Goods back to the Supplier. This will not affect your refund for the Goods, but any charge for collection will be deducted from the refund that is due to you.

18.3 If the Supplier has to cancel an Order for Goods before the Goods are delivered:

a) If the Supplier has to cancel an Order before the Goods are delivered, due to an Event Beyond the Supplier’s Control or the unavailability of stock the Supplier will promptly contact you if this happens.

b) If the Supplier has to cancel an Order under clause 18.2 (a) and you have made any payment in advance for Goods that have not been delivered to you, the Supplier will refund these amounts to you.

19 GENERAL

19.1 Assignment and subcontracting.

a) The Supplier may at any time assign, transfer, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Contract.

b) The Customer may not assign, transfer, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Contract without the prior written consent of the Supplier.

19.2 Notices.

a) Any notice or other communication given to a party under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing, addressed to that party at its registered office (if it is a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case) or such other address as that party may have specified to the other party in writing in accordance with this clause, and shall be delivered personally, sent by pre-paid first class post, recorded delivery, commercial courier, or e-mail. Notices given by the Customer by e-mail shall be invalid unless a copy of the notice that has been printed, signed by the Customer, and scanned is included in the e-mail as an attachment.

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 19.2(a); if sent by pre-paid first class post or recorded delivery, 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 fax or 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.

19.3 Severance.

a) If any court or competent authority finds that any provision of the Contract (or part of any provision) is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed to be deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of the Contract shall not be affected.

b) If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal provision of the Contract would be valid, enforceable and legal if some part of it were deleted, the provision shall apply with the minimum modification necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable.

19.4 Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

19.5 Third party rights. A person who is not a party to the Contract shall not have any rights under or in connection with it.

19.6 Variation. Except as set out in these Conditions, any variation to the Contract, including the introduction of any additional terms and conditions, shall only be binding when agreed in writing and signed by the Supplier.

19.7 Governing law and jurisdiction. The Contract, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, Scots law, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Scotland.
