    The company's liability shall be limited to delivery of repaired or replacement goods only, to the original place of delivery.
    Nothing in this condition shall be construed as restricting the company's liability for death or personal injury resulting from the company's negligence as defined in section (1) of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or the company's liability to any person under part 1 of the Consumer Protection Act 1987.

  7. Shortages, damages, loss in transit
