It is up to you to tell us if you know of any cables or pipes hidden in the wall, and we will not be held responsible for striking such fittings. 9.8 We shall not be liable to you nor be deemed to be in breach of contract by reasons of any delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of our obligations in relation to the contract, or for any damage or defect to Goods delivered, that is caused by any event or circumstance beyond our reasonable control including, with limitation, third party defaults, strikes, lockouts, and other industrial disputes, breakdown of systems or network access, flood, fire, explosion, accident, breakdown of manufacturing or other equipment or unavailability of raw materials. 9.9 In these terms we do not seek in any way to limit your statutory rights, nor to limit our liability for any death or personal injury resulting from negligence on our part.
