all other taxes that may be applicable to the Products and/or Services and any

Purchase Price. Any further dispute will be dealt with as an ordinary legal

dispute failing agreement between the Parties as to an alternate solution.

8 WARRANTIES

8.1 LMP warrants that all Products available on the Website are produced by utilising

original images taken by the Photographer and/or produced from original images by

the Photographer and as such are considered Artistic Work.

8.2 Due to the differences between monitors, computers and the variety of electronic

screens from where the Website can be viewed, as well as the individual specific

settings for contrast and brightness on each device, the Product acquired by the

Customer on its chosen device and LMP therefore warrants that:

by the CPA will be limited in its scope and to the time period as

prescribed by the CPA.

the Contract or reduced to writing and signed by LMP will not entitle

regulated by the CPA:

contained in these Terms and Conditions. The Customer further confirms

that representations not contained in these Terms and Conditions or

reduced to writing and signed by LMP will not entitle the Customer to any

claim against LMP in respect of such representations.
