5. No reliance on information
5.1 The content on the Site is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely. You must obtain professional or specialist advice before taking, or refraining from, any action on the basis of the content on the Site.
5.2 Although we make reasonable efforts to update the information on the Site, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content on the Site is accurate, complete or up-to-date.

6.2 We will supply the Services to you from the date set out in the Order for the period of time set out in the Order.
6.3 We will make every effort to complete the Services on time. However, any such dates shall be estimates only and time for performance by us shall not be of the essence of these Terms.

6.6 The price of the Services will be set out in the Order. Our prices may change at any time, but price changes will not affect Orders that we have confirmed with you.
6.7 While we may send you an automatic email confirming receipt of an Order, this does not amount to acceptance of such Order. Acceptance does not occur (and therefore an Order is not binding on us) until is it expressly accepted by us.
6.8 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Services may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our Order confirmation process so that, where the Services’ correct price is more or less than our stated price, we will contact you to tell you and for your instructions. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
6.9 If you are a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Services not carried out with reasonable skill and care, or if the materials we use are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office or equivalent. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

I. Events outside our control
18.1 We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these Terms or an Order that is caused by an Event Outside Our Control.
18.2 An Event Outside Our Control means any act or event beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation non-performance by suppliers, strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, failure of public or private telecommunications or utilities networks, cyber-attack or similar, or impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport.

a. We will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
b. Our obligations under an Order will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the Event Outside Our Control.

20.3 This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise.
20.4 Each of the clauses and sub-clauses of these Terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining clauses and sub-clauses will remain in full force and effect.
20.5 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
20.6 These Terms are governed by English law. This means an Order through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You and we both agree to that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
