5. A replacement from The Laminex Group may not be reasonably available in the same shape, type or colour as the original Formica Kit Solutions products covered by this warranty.

8. Where applicable legislation implies any term, condition or warranty into The Laminex Group’s relationship with a person who has acquired any Formica Kit Solutions product, or otherwise gives that person a particular remedy against The Laminex Group, and that legislation or any legislation voids or prohibits any provision excluding, or modifying the application of, or exercise of, any liability under such term, condition, warranty or remedy, such term, condition, warranty or remedy shall be deemed to be included in or, as the case may be, apply to that relationship. However, The Laminex Group’s liability for any breach of such term, condition, or warranty, or under such remedy, shall be limited, at The Laminex Group’s option, to any one or more of the ways permitted by the legislation, including, where so permitted if the breach relates to any Formica Kit Solutions products:
