8 Pixel Policy
8.1 Please be aware that some screens may have slight irregularities in the form of "dead" pixels. As a
15 inch LCD display contains 2,359,296 pixels, a 19 inch LCD display contains 3,932,160 pixels and a 24
inch LCD display contains 6,912,000 pixels, the occurrence of a few dead pixels is not considered a defect.
It is rare for a screen to develop pixel irregularities and the presence of a few dead pixels is not
generally an indication that more will occur.
8.2 The Company will only replace a screen that has six or more dead pixels, or two dead pixels that are
connected to each other. The Company is sorry for any disappointment this may cause, but the manufacturers
of TFT, LCD and plasma screens dictate this policy. Details of these pixel policies may be obtainable
directly from the manufacturer of the goods.
9 Limitation of Liability
9.1 If the Company is in breach of any of the terms of its contract with you, it will not be responsible
for any losses that you suffer as a result, except those losses that are a reasonably foreseeable
consequence of the breach and those losses that we cannot lawfully exclude.
9.2 The Company is not responsible for indirect, special or consequential losses that happen as a side
effect of the main loss or damage and that are not foreseeable by you and the Company at the time that
the Company accepts your order.
9.3 The goods supplied by the Company to you are for domestic and consumer use only. Accordingly, under
no circumstances does the Company accept liability for any business loss (including, without limitation,
loss of contract, profit, anticipated profit, revenue, goodwill, opportunity, anticipated savings in
expenditure and loss or corruption of data) as a result of the Company's breach of contract, negligence
or otherwise.
9.4 The Company does not limit its liability:
(a) for death or personal injury caused by its negligence;
(b) for defective goods under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
(c) in respect of any matter for which it would be illegal for the Company to limit or to attempt to limit
its liability.

occurs that is outside its reasonable control including (without limitation) fire, floods, storm,
explosion, epidemic, strikes, lockouts, riot, governmental actions, war or national emergency, acts
of terrorism, protests and changes in legislation and the Company shall not be held liable for any
breach of contract resulting from such an event.
11 Severability
11.1 If a provision of any contract between you and the Company is found by any court or body of
competent jurisdiction to be wholly or partly illegal, invalid, void, voidable, unenforceable or
unreasonable, then that provision shall be deemed severable and the remainder of the contract
shall continue in full force and effect.

12.1 No term of any contract between you and the Company shall be enforceable by virtue of the
Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person who is not a party to that contract.
