Nothing in this clause excludes the rights of "Shop On My Site" when acting as payment agent of any seller.

"Shop On My Site" reserves the right to suspend or to cancel the Conditions in whole or in part (without liability to "Shop On My Site") if it is prevented from or delayed in the carrying on of its business and its obligations under the Conditions due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, flood, lightning, severe weather conditions, war, revolution, acts of terrorism, IT or internet outage, industrial disputes (whether of its own employees or others) or acts of local or central government (including the imposition of legal or regulatory restrictions). If any such event beyond the reasonable control of "Shop On My Site" continues for a continuous period of more than 30 days, either party shall be entitled to give notice in writing to the other to terminate the Conditions.

Notices may be sent by email provided that, to be effective, the addressee acknowledges receipt of the communication, such acknowledgement to take the form of a return receipt or acknowledging e-mail.

The relationship of "Shop On My Site" (and its employees) to the Seller will be that of independent contractor and nothing in the Conditions shall render "Shop On My Site" (nor its personnel) as an employee, worker, any other form of agent, or partner of the Seller or Customer.

This agreement, and any documents referred to in it, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous drafts, arrangements, understandings or agreements between them, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this agreement.

Each party acknowledges that in entering into this agreement it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of, any representation or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in this agreement. Each party agrees that its only liability in respect of those representations and warranties that are set out in this agreement (whether made innocently or negligently) shall be for breach of contract.

Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
