Except as may be explicitly stated in these Terms and Conditions the Operator expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind whether express or implied. Therefore, whilst the Operator endeavours to ensure that the Website and Services perform in accordance with its intended use, the Operator makes no warranty that:-
