    4. In every case, we will never be responsible for any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable, or that is caused by a failure by you to comply with these Terms of Use.
    5. The above does not affect your rights under the applicable law of the country in which you are a resident, including our responsibility to you for any personal injury or death caused by our negligence.
  11. Resolving disputes
    1. If you have a dispute with us relating to the cord Website, in the first instance please contact us at support@cord.co and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.
    2. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a dispute informally, we will discuss and agree with you on the most effective way of resolving our dispute.
  12. Changes to the cord Website
    1. We are constantly updating and improving the cord Website as our products and services develop. Improvements and updates are also made to reflect changing technologies, tastes, behaviours and the way people use the Internet and the cord Website.
    2. In order to do this, we may need to update, reset, stop offering and/or supporting a particular part of the cord Website, or feature relating to the cord Website ("changes to the cord Website"). These changes to the cord Website, which may occur with or without prior notice, may affect certain features and content available through the cord Website, including deleting and/or removing such content and features.
  13. Changes to the documents
    1. We may revise these Terms of Use from time to time but the most current version will always be at [https://cord.co/terms].
    2. Every time you wish to use the cord Website, please check these terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.
    3. Your continued use of the cord Website after we make any changes to these Terms of Use will indicate that you have agreed to those changes. If you do not agree to any of the changes to these Terms of Use you should not use or access (or continue to use or access) the cord Website.
  14. Documents that apply to our relationship with you
    1. The then-current version of the Terms of Use contains the only terms and conditions that apply to our relationship with you at any time.
    2. We intend to rely on these Terms of Use as setting out the written terms of our agreement with you for the provision of the cord Website. If part of the Terms of Use cannot be enforced then the remainder of the Terms of Use will still apply to our relationship.
    3. If you do not comply with these Terms of Use and we do not take action immediately, this does not mean we have given up any right we have and we may still take action in the future.
  15. Law
    1. These Terms of Use, their subject matter and their formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law. We both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England.
