2. The total amount of liability is limited to the total amount of Fees payable by you under the Contract

Where combi boilers and unvented cylinders are supplied, it is not uncommon to find that hot water flow rates are reduced if more than one tap or outlet is used simultaneously. This is characteristic of these systems, and is not considered a fault or defect.
