10.8 The Goods supplied by LandHQ shall comply with applicable safety and industry standards. The Client acknowledges and accepts that where the Client fails to adhere to any care and maintenance advice relating to the Goods are not followed, then the Client shall not hold LandHQ liable for any losses or damaged caused by any failure of the Goods.
10.9 In the event that Goods are returned to, or held by LandHQ (for repair or otherwise), LandHQ undertakes to maintain a reasonable duty of care towards the Goods but risk (including, but not limited to, insurance risk) in the Goods remains with the Client notwithstanding that property in the Goods may remain with LandHQ under clause 11. Under no circumstances shall the liability of LandHQ, for Goods held by LandHQ, exceed the fair market of the Goods.
