This is standard business practice, hardly "under the UKs Trading Standards laws". The reason paragraphs like that are there is to stop people suing for stupid things.
e.g. Microsoft Word crashed and in it was my only copy of the worlds best selling book, I was going to hit save when I finished; therefore I sue Microsoft for US$250MM.
