6 Our Liability
*Please read this with extreme care and attention.*
If you are a consumer, nothing within these terms and conditions shall be deemed to affect your rights under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. If you deal with us as a business the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 is hereby excluded to the fullest extent legally possible and you are further referred to additional terms relating to business customers set out next.
Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
As a responsible business, we will perform the Service(s) in a professional manner with the appropriate level of skill and care. However, damage to a Consignment can still occur as a consequence of our handling or our carriers’ handling of it and in such circumstances, our liability shall be limited as set out in these following points:
Reasoning behind this limitation of our liability is as follows:
(a) The value of a Consignment and the amount of potential loss to you that could arise if a Consignment is damaged or lost is not something which we can easily find out but is something which is better known to you. In many cases it cannot be known to us at all and can only be known to you;
(b) It is not viable to provide unlimited compensation for our full potential liability to all of our customers. You should consider purchasing further insurance for your Consignment if we do not offer such insurance;
(c) As a deferred service costs of providing the Service(s) are reflective of the service;
(d) We wish to limit our liability for any damage caused to you to levels which we consider are fair and proportionate to the costs of our Services.
(e) In these Terms and Conditions, damage to you means any damage suffered by you (including any loss of any type), however it arises but only so long as it is caused by our negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission (which includes any deliberately wrongful act or omission) and any breach of any the terms of this Agreement, or any terms implied by statute (where applicable);
(f) We investigate all claims received by us in a fair and efficient manner. You agree to allow as much time as is needed to perform such investigations.

8 We shall not be liable to you:
a) under any circumstances where there are any material discrepancies (meaning more than 1% ) between the declared dimensions and weights and the actual dimensions and weights.
b) in any circumstances in respect of the items on the Prohibited items; No Compensation items lists, unless otherwise stated by us; and any other information contained in the various Country information pages.
