exclusions of liability

exclusions of liability
Where one person is potentially liable to another as a result of negligence, contractual duties or otherwise, but wishes to reduce his exposure for commercial reasons, he can agree with the other person that his potential liability or some element of it will not apply and will be excluded from their contractual agreement. The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 prevents liability being excluded in circumstances in which it is unfair. Exclusions with respect to consumers are rarely enforceable.
