Where any Act of Parliament implies any term, condition, representation or warranty into the contents of this Website or your use of or access to the Website, and that Act prohibits exclusion of that term, condition, representation or warranty, then that term, condition, representation or warranty is included. If so, and to the extent permitted by the Act, NGIV’s liability for any breach of such term, condition, representation or warranty is limited to the supplying of the relevant good or services again, as NGIV may choose.
