24.6If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.

24.7If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law.

We both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

24.9We will not file a copy of the Contract between us.

25. TINS DISCLAIMER

25.1 Products supplied in tins (paints, bitumen etc.) are packaged appropriately in accordance with courier guidelines. The products being sold are the contents within the tin and not the tin itself.
