15.2 But we are not responsible to you for any loss that is: 

15.2.1 Unexpected – it was not obvious that it would happen and nothing you said to us before we entered into the contract meant we should have expected it (so, in the law, the loss was “unforeseeable”). 

15.2.2 Caused by a delaying event outside our control, as long as we have taken the steps identified in section 14. 

15.2.3 Avoidable – something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action. 

15.2.4 A business loss – we are supplying the course to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
