11.1 Nothing in the Contract shall exclude or limit the liability of either party for death or personal injury caused by that party’s negligence, or the negligence of its employees, agents or subcontractors; or for any matter which cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law; or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
11.2 Subject to clause 11.1, in no event, shall the Company be liable to the Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), for breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, arising under or in connection with the Contract for loss of profits; loss of sales or business; loss of agreements or contracts; loss of revenues or anticipated savings; loss or corruption of or damage to any data, files or software; for any web server downtime; any special, indirect or consequential losses; errors made by third parties, or due to any failure to maintain a current copy of the Website; for damage done to the Website through hacking; in each case howsoever arising.
11.3 Subject to Clauses 11.1 and 11.2, the Company’s total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to 25% of the Charges paid for the Services during the Initial Contract Term or subsequent period of equal duration, as applicable.

11.5 The Company will endeavour to ensure that the Website will function correctly on the server it is initially installed in and that it will function correctly when viewed with the web browsing software Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 10 and above and to an acceptable level with the latest Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browser.

11.6 The Customer acknowledges that website hacking cannot be fully prevented, as new ways to exploit sites are created every day.

The Company cannot take responsibility for damage done to the Website through hacking (and shall not, without limitation, be liable for any e-commerce sales lost to hacking or server downtime) and any work to repair the Website after a hack would be separately chargeable.

If the Customer would like these links removed, the Company reserves the right to charge a fee of up to £200.00 for doing so.

13.4 Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
The parties shall not be liable for any failure of performance or any delay in performing any of their obligations (other than for non-payment or late payment of the Charges) under the Contract if such delay or failure results from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control

A waiver of any remedy or right under the Contract or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
(a) The Company, but not the Customer, may at any time assign, mortgage, charge, subcontract, delegate, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with any or all of its rights and obligations under the Contract.
(b) The Services will be undertaken by the Company’s employees, independent contractors and consultants. The Company, but not the Customer, shall be free to sub-contract or delegate to any third party any or all of its obligations without seeking the prior consent of the Customer.

1.6 The acceptance procedure shall be as follows:
1.7 The Customer acknowledges that CMS and programming languages have a shelf life. As they become older, they can become vulnerable to attack and the Company strongly recommends the use of the Company’s Website Maintenance and Support Services to keep them up to date.
Web Hosting Services
1.1 Use of hosting resources by the Customer is subject to such use being reasonable; any excessive use (as decided by the Company) will be deemed to be in breach of these Terms and Conditions.
1.2 The Company may determine that a Customer is using server resources to such an extent that the Customer risks jeopardizing server performance and resources for other Customers. In any such instance, the Company reserves the right to (a) suspend the Website immediately; or (b) continue to host the Website, but require the Customer to pay an additional fee.
1.3 However, the Company will not guarantee or be liable for any breaks in the continuity of the electricity supply or of the telecoms link to the web server that is provided by a third party.

1.10 If the Website is used for any unlawful use the Company may suspend or terminate service immediately and at the same time as suspension or termination occurs, the Company shall notify the Customer. Where suspension or termination occurs, the Company reserves the right to delete all of the Customer’s files (including web pages) without prior notice.
1.11 The Company will advise the Customer on selecting domain names and can act as the Customer’s agent in registering these at the Company’s stated rates, but cannot guarantee a certain name will be available. The Customer will be bound by the standard terms of the naming authority. The Company gives no warranty that any domain name will not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. Renewals are the sole responsibility of the Customer and accordingly the Company accepts no responsibility if a domain fails to be re-registered. The Company reserves the right to levy a charge for any administrative work associated with subsequent hosting or domain name transfers into the Company’s facilities. Where the Company acts as the Customer’s registration agent, domain names will be registered by the Company and also registered to the Company’s current address. Although the domain names are registered to the Company, the Customer is the legal owner of the domain and if they request to have details changed or the domain transferred elsewhere, the Company will do this within a reasonable time. All costs involved in detail changes and domain transfers shall be met by the Customer.

1.16 The Company will host the Website on receipt of full payment of the Charges for the hosting services.
1.17 Charges relating to web hosting (including for domain names) must be paid prior to the expiration date of the web hosting service and are non-refundable. Renewal of Hosting is due on a yearly basis unless otherwise agreed in writing. The date of renewal will be annually from the start date of the web hosting services. The hosting will not be renewed if the Company cannot contact the Customer or the Customer requests the Company not to host the Website.
