I refused business like this. More risk than reward - and trust me the

Not always. Remember "statutory rights not affected" ? I would check with
*your* legal person as to your liability position here, not just advise your
client to do so. There are different types of law, and some cannot be signed
away in T&Cs - see the "Unfair Terms In Consumer Contracts Act" (I think).

Again, I would very stongly advise caution at the legal - not the
technical - level.
