period, but these will not be available to other users.) We will not

THE SERVICES
16.1. We are not responsible for losses you suffer caused by us
breaking this contract if the loss is:

nothing you said to us before we accepted your order meant we should
have expected it (so, in law, the loss was unforeseeable).
(b) Caused by a delaying event outside our control, provided we have
taken the steps set out in clause 17. We are not responsible for events
outside our control.
(c) Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable

which was caused by digital content we supplied and which you could
have avoided by following our advice to apply a free update or by

system requirements advised by us.

Services for the purposes of your trade, business, craft or profession.

control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and do
what we can to reduce the delay. This will be normally via a pop up
message on the Website, although we may contact you in another way. As
long as we do this, we will not compensate you for the time the
Services were not available, but if the delay is likely to be
substantial you can contact us to end the contract and receive a refund
for any Services you have paid for in advance, but not received.

conditions, the Website and/or the Services:

matches the description of it that we provided to you before you bought
it.
