Events, opportunities and information offered or supplied by a partner organisation are offered and supplied subject to the terms and conditions, including limitations of liability, fairly and properly imposed by the partner organisation and validly notified to the Network Member.
The Website may also include links to external websites and/or services owned and/or operated by participating companies and/or third parties.

This paragraph sets out our entire liability (including any liability for the acts and omissions of our officers, employees, consultants, agents and partner organisations) to you in connection with the Website and for any breach of these Terms and Conditions, statute, representation, statement or tortuous act or omission arising under or in connection with the Website and these Terms and Conditions (an event of default). Your attention is drawn in particular to the following:
- Our liability to you for death or injury resulting from our negligence shall not be limited
- Under no circumstances will our total aggregate liability for any event of default exceed £100 for any number of events of default in a calendar year

We expressly exclude, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all liability of Bright Network (UK) Ltd, its directors, employees or other representatives, howsoever arising, for any loss suffered as a result of your use of this Website.
