(a) the defect arising because the Customer failed to follow any instructions provided by Hubit Technology and/ or the manufacture’s documentation in relation to storage, commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the Hardware;

9.7 Save as expressly provided in the Agreement, all other warranties, terms and conditions (whether implied by common law, statute, and custom or otherwise) are hereby excluded to the fullest extent as permitted by law.

9.8 Subject to clause 17, Hubit Technology shall not be liable for services, systems and equipment provided by the Customer or any third party which constitute:

(b) matters beyond Hubit Technology’s reasonable control, including lack of network capacity, physical obstructions, atmospheric conditions and delays caused by Hubit Technology’s suppliers;
