If we are required to take legal action, you will also be liable for any legal costs incurred by us. You agree that you will be legally liable to pay us all costs incurred in respect of the recovery of this debt and that the same can be enforced against you in court.

We are not liable for any breach or delay or failure to meet our obligations due to any circumstances, cause or situation (or one which we reasonably believe is imminent) outside our reasonable control (including, as examples only, flood, war, fire, riots, or the action(s) or inaction of third parties).
