6. Warranty and Liability

6.1 Nothing in this contract shall be construed as restricting or excluding our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or liability which we are responsible for in relation to consumer protection rights, or for any other matters which it would be illegal for us to exclude. Nothing in this contract affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

6.2 We will not be responsible for any losses that were not foreseeable to you or us when the contract was formed, or that were not caused by any breach on our part.
