8. Limitation of Liability
The ‘Site’ is a place where Garden Hirers can view listings of, and obtain information about, Gardens offered for rent in the UK by Advertisers. The Advertiser pays the Fee solely in order to place a Listing on the Site.
The Site acts only as a venue for Advertisers and Garden Hirers to interact with each other. Borrow my Garden Ltd is not, and does not become, a party to any contractual relationship between the Garden Hirer and the Advertiser and does not mediate between them in the event of any dispute arising between them. It is upon this basis that we limit our liability.
For the avoidance of doubt, Borrow my Garden Ltd never act as a principal in connection with any of the transactions or services available on or through our Site. As between the Garden Hirers and Borrow my Garden Ltd, nothing in this Agreement or in their use of our Site creates or is intended to establish, any agency relationship, partnership or joint venture between us and Garden Hirers.
In recognition of this, Advertisers acknowledge that any claim they may have that is in any way connected with a dispute with a Garden Hirer sourced through our site must be brought directly against that Garden Hirer and not against us, Borrow my Garden Ltd.
Similarly, any claim that a Garden Hirer has in any way connected with a dispute with an Advertiser on our site must be brought directly against that Advertiser and not against us, Borrow my Garden Ltd Borrow my Garden Ltd does not authorize anyone to register with this Site unless they are able to enter into legally binding contracts. Should Borrow my Garden Limited consider an Advertiser is in breach of contract for any attempts to undermine, libel or slander its business in public then the company will immediately remove that Advertiser from its site without a refund.
Further, any vexatious and frivolous actions by Users against us will be challenged in the courts with applications for both costs and mitigating damages. We do not own nor have we inspected nor do we have any control whatsoever over any Garden listed on our site and we make no representations or warranties regarding any of the Gardens.
While we require Advertisers to List Gardens truthfully, fairly and accurately, and we take reasonable steps to remove advertisements from our site following any complaint from a Garden Hirer or another Advertiser, we have no control over the accuracy of any advertisement or the capacity of any Advertiser to make a booking with a Garden Hirer.
We make no claims, therefore, as to the quality, safety or legality of any of the gardens advertised. It is the sole responsibility of the Advertiser to be eligible to rent or hire the garden and the sole responsibility of the Garden Hirer to pay for the rental.
Consideration should always be given to the nature of advertisements and contracts transacted on the Internet, and the risks involved. You should proceed with reasonable care and judgement when using our Site.
Your use of any information or materials on the Site is entirely at your own risk, for which we shall not be liable. It shall be your own responsibility to ensure that any products, services or information available through the Site meet your specific requirements.

We shall not be liable for any indirect losses or damages suffered by you.
