payment.
2.4.
The above warranty does not extend to parts, materials or
equipment not manufactured by the Seller, in respect of which the
Buyer shall only be entitled to the benefit of any such warranty or

replace the Goods (or the part in question) free of charge or, at
the Seller’s sole discretion, refund to the Buyer the price of the
Goods (or a proportionate part of the price) but the Seller shall
have no further liability to the Buyer.

Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the
Seller’s negligence, the Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer by

other term, or any duties, common law, or under express terms of the
Contract, for any consequential loss or damage (whether for loss or
profit or otherwise) costs, expenses or other claims of
consequential compensation whatsoever (and whether caused by the
negligence of the Seller, its employees or agent or otherwise) which
arises out of or in connection with the supply of the Goods or their
use or resale by the Buyer, except as expressly provided in the
Conditions.
