-
More specifically:
- although we will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the security of the Services and our e-commerce network infrastructure, we cannot guarantee such security and we will not be liable in any way whatsoever in respect of any loss or damage of whatever nature suffered by you or any third party due to a breach of such security of the Services and/or our e-commerce network infrastructure other than where due to our gross negligence;

- Nothing in this Agreement will prevent or limit either of your or our liability for fraud or wilful misconduct; death or personal injury arising out of negligence; or gross negligence.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, and so in such jurisdictions liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- Uncontrollable Events: Whilst we aim to provide uninterrupted Services, unfortunately we can't guarantee this as interruptions may be caused by factors beyond our reasonable control. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any events beyond our reasonable control. If circumstances happen that are beyond our reasonable control, we will not be liable for any failure to perform our obligations under the Agreement because of those circumstances, and we will be excused from that failure for so long as those circumstances continue.
