    (c) The Company will consider any claim duly notified to it by the Purchaser and shall notify the Purchaser whether the Company accepts the Purchaser’s claim and, in the
    case of a claim for failure to meet specification, whether the Company accepts that the claim merits rejection of the goods.
    (d) If the Company accepts the Purchaser’s claim, the Company will either make good any shortfall in the quantity of goods supplied or replace the defective goods or in
    both cases accept payment of such reduced value of the goods as the Company shall agree with the Purchaser.
    12.4 Subject to the foregoing provision of this clause, all terms, conditions, warranties and representations, express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise in relation to goods supplied by the Company to the Purchaser are hereby excluded and the Company shall be under no liability to the Purchaser for any loss, damage or injury, direct
    or indirect, resulting from defective materials, faulty workmanship or otherwise howsoever arising and whether or not caused by the negligence of the Company, its
    employees or agents save that the Company shall accept liability for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Company.
    12.5 The Company shall under no circumstances be liable for any consequential loss. The Company’s aggregate liability to the Purchaser whether for negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation or otherwise shall in no circumstances exceed the invoice value of the goods supplied to which any claim by the Purchaser relates.
