Except as set out below, we will only be liable to you if any loss or damage you incur results from our failure to provide the Charter Service to you with reasonable care and skill and in accordance with information we provide to you about us or the Charter Service.
Nothing in these Charter Terms will limit or exclude our liability:

Your booking and the rights contained in these Charter Terms are personal to you and you may not assign or transfer any rights granted to you to any other person.
If we allow you some extra time to meet your obligations under these Charter Terms or do not rely on some or all of our rights, this does not mean that we give up our ability to exercise any of these rights or any other rights, either at the time they become exercisable or in future.
If any part of these Charter Terms becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, this will not affect the validity of the remaining Charter Terms.
No person other than you or us may enforce any of these terms.
