Where the terms and conditions of a sub-contractor are more restrictive or exclusory than the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that work provided by a sub-contractor will be governed by the terms and conditions of the sub-contractor rather than the provisions of this Agreement.

a) The Service Provider warrants that it will use reasonable care and skill in performing the Services.
b) Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party in contract, tort, negligence, breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any loss, damage, costs or expenses of any nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by that other Party of an indirect or consequential nature including without limitation any economic loss or other loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill.

i) the Services or Output provided under this Agreement;
ii) any transaction, contract, event or matter arising from or connected with the provision of the Services; or
iii) the appointment of the Service Provider.
b) The Client shall not be liable under the indemnity given under this clause where a court giving a final judgment holds that any loss, damage or liability is the result of the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith of an Indemnified Party.
12 TERMINATION

b) On termination of this Agreement, the Client shall pay for all Services provided up to the date of termination, and for all expenditure falling due for payment after the date of termination from commitments reasonably and necessarily incurred by the Service Provider for the performance of the Services prior to the date of termination.
c) Any termination of the Agreement pursuant to this clause shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies a party may be entitled to under the Agreement or at law and shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either party nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.
