(b) As fit for the purpose for which they are commonly bought as it is reasonable to expect in the circumstances;
(c) Reasonably fit for any particular purpose or might reasonably be expected to achieve any result you have made known to the supplier.
Under s 32N of the Fair Trading Act 1999, the supplier is entitled to ask you to agree that these conditions do not apply to you. If you sign this form, you will be agreeing that your rights to sue the supplier under the Fair Trading Act 1999 if you are killed or injured because the services were not rendered with due care and skill or they were not reasonably fit for their purpose, are excluded, restricted or modified in the way set out in this form.
