OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY)

The Service is not bespoke to you. You acknowledge that the Service has not been developed to meet your individual requirements, and that it is therefore your responsibility to ensure that the facilities and functions of the Service meet your requirements.

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with this Agreement, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaching this Agreement or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time this Agreement are entered into, both we and you knew it might happen.

When are we liable for damage caused by a defect in the Service? If the Service damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill we will either repair the damage or pay you appropriate compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice, including to apply an update, patch or error correction offered to you free of charge or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

Cap on Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our aggregate cumulative liability to you arising out of or related to the Service shall in no event exceed one hundred (£100) British pounds or the price paid by you for the Service in the preceding twelve (12) month, whichever is the higher.

We are not liable for business losses. If you use the Service for any commercial or business purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

We are not liable for events outside our control. We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or any delay in the performance of, any of our obligations under this Agreement that is caused by any event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control, including any failure of public or private telecommunications networks or any delays or latency due to your physical location or your wireless data service provider’s network.

What we do not exclude. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or exclude our liability for:

  1. death or personal injury resulting from our negligence;

  2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or

  3. any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.

Your liability. You agree to compensate us for any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including legal costs and expenses) reasonably incurred by us that arise out of your use of the Service in breach of this Agreement. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claim brought by a third party in connection with your use of the Service and you agree to assist and cooperate with us in relation to any such claim.

DISCLAIMER

Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, with all faults. The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement or course of performance.

VIVANT Wines Inc. and its corporate parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners and licensors of each, do not warrant that a) the Service will function uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free or available at any particular time or location; b) any errors or defects will be corrected; c) the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components; or d) the results of using the Service will meet your requirements.

EXCLUSIONS

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you.

OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS

Nobody else has any rights under this Agreement. This Agreement is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its Agreement.

If a court finds part of this Agreement unlawful or unenforceable, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of this Agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce them later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under this Agreement, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.

Which laws apply to this Agreement and where you may bring legal proceedings? This Agreement is governed by English law and we both agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. This means that, if you are resident in another country in the EU, you may bring a claim to enforce your consumer protection rights in connection with this Agreement in the EU country in which you live.

Changes. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace this Agreement at any time. The “Last Updated” legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed. We may make changes to the Site and/or this Agreement to: (a) reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and (b) implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. If a revision is material we will provide at least 15 days’ notice prior to any new Agreement taking effect.
