  10. Liability

    1. Nothing in these terms and conditions in any way limits or excludes our liability for negligence causing death or personal injury or for fraudulent misrepresentation or for anything which may not legally be excluded or limited. In this section, any reference to ‘us’ includes our employees and agents.
    2. You must give us a reasonable opportunity to remedy any matter for which we are potentially liable before you incur any costs remedying the matter yourself.
    3. If you are a consumer (i.e., not acting in the course of a business), we shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by us or our employees or agents in circumstances where:
      1. there is no breach of a legal duty of care owed to you by us or by any of our employees or agents;
      2. such loss or damage was not foreseeable (meaning it was not an obvious consequence of our breach or not contemplated by you and us at the time you first accessed our website);
      3. such loss or damage is caused by you, for example by not complying with these terms and conditions;
      4. such loss or damage relates to a business.
    4. If you are a consumer (i.e., not acting in the course of a business), you will be liable for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage we suffer arising from your breach of these terms and conditions, including any misuse of our website (subject of course to our obligation to mitigate any of our losses).
    5. The following clauses apply only if you are a business:
      1. In no event (including our own negligence) will we be liable for any:
        1. economic losses (including, without limit, loss of revenues, profits, contracts, business, or anticipated savings);
        2. loss of goodwill or reputation;
        3. special, indirect, or consequential losses; or
        4. damage to or loss of data
        (even if we have been advised of the possibility of such losses).
      2. You will indemnify us against all claims and liabilities directly or indirectly related to your use of the website and/or breach of these terms and conditions.
      3. To the extent allowed by law, you and we exclude all terms, whether imposed by statute or by law or otherwise, that are not expressly stated in these terms and conditions.
      4. These terms and conditions constitute the entire agreement between us with respect to its subject matter and supersede any previous communications or agreements between us. We both acknowledge and agree that there have been no misrepresentations and that neither of us has relied on any pre-contractual statements. Liability for misrepresentation (excluding fraudulent misrepresentation) relating to these terms and conditions is excluded.
  11. Irish law

    These terms and conditions shall be governed by Irish law, and any disputes will be decided only by the Irish courts.

  12. General

    We may send all notices under these terms and conditions by email to the most recent email address you have supplied to us (unless otherwise stated in these terms and conditions). Headings used in these terms and conditions are for information purposes only and not binding. Any failure by either party to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms and conditions does not mean this is a “waiver” (i.e. that it cannot be enforced later). If any part of these terms and conditions is ineffective or unenforceable for any reason, then it will be replaced with a provision which as far as possible achieves the same thing and the rest of these terms and conditions shall continue to apply. We may transfer these terms and conditions to a third party but this will not affect your rights or obligations. A person who is not a party to these terms and conditions shall have no rights to enforce these terms and conditions except insofar as expressly stated otherwise.
