9.             Limitation of Liability and Waiver

9.1          Except as set out in these Terms, we expressly exclude all other liability we may have to you, including all liability in contract, tort, negligence, misrepresentation, strict liability or statute. This exclusion applies for the benefit of us, our Affiliates, Service Providers, and our, our Affiliates’ and Service Providers’ officers, employees, contractors and agents or anyone else to whom we or these parties are responsible ("the Relevant Parties") and whether it relates to anything caused by or resulting from anything any Relevant Party does or omits to do or delays in doing (even if done, omitted or delayed wilfully, recklessly or negligently), whether or not it is contemplated or authorised by any agreement you have with us.
