Our liability
We are not a law firm registered, regulated or licensed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Although some members of our company may be individually regulated, there is no lawyer-client relationship between us and you or between them and you.
Nobody apart from you has any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any part of these terms and conditions.
We may be liable or responsible for any ‘foreseeable’ loss or damage we cause you if we fail to comply with these terms or by breaking our contract with you or by not using reasonable care and skill. Foreseeable means it is obvious that it is probable or, if at the time we made the contract, we both knew such an event might happen.
We are not liable or responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable, for any loss or damage (direct or indirect) caused by something outside the scope of our contract with you or beyond our reasonable control, or if something was unavoidable despite us using reasonable care and skill to avoid it. So you won’t be able to claim against us if your losses resulted from circumstances that we could not or should not have been expected to know about.
