Under Section 2(2) of UCTA, unless the term or notice satisfies the reasonableness test, such liability cannot be exclude or limited. 12.5 Also, Under Section 2(3) of UCTA, it states that any such notice or contract term that purports to exclude or restrict liability for negligence, despite a person’s agreement or awareness of it, it is not to be taken as indicating of his voluntary acceptance of any risk.

Thank you for providing a great example of an institution’s response to the breach of a coach’s contract. After researching the case of Kent State v. Ford, it was apparent that the terms of Ford’s agreement were not interpreted by the coach in the same manner in which the terms were written by the institution. Ford is quoted as stating that the liquidated damages clause was not enforceable (Farkas, 2015). Whereas liquated damages are defined as such: The purpose of a liquidated damages clause is to ensure that the failure of one party to follow the contract does not unfairly hurt the other and the amount agreed to must be a reasonable estimate of any potential damage a breach of contract might cause (faircontracts.org, n.d.).

This can be avoided by chaining proxies together or by simply using a service like Tor which redirects your traffic through 3 proxies, so called "nodes".

Here a compensation tribunal was set up to compensate the families of victims who had died in the Stardust tragedy. The grieving father of one victim sought a review of a decision made by the tribunal to award the mother of a victim compensation and the father no compensation. The court refused to quash the decision of the tribunal and, strangely, agreed that there were circumstances which justified awarding of compensation to one parent and not the other.
