A small business owner orders a photocopier from a supplier. She signs the supplier's standard order form without reading it. The form contains a clause excluding all warranties and limiting the supplier's liability to the cost of the machine. The photocopier breaks down within a week. The business owner argues she should not be bound by the exclusion clause because she did not read it and the clause was in very small print at the bottom of the form. She seeks advice from her solicitor about whether she can claim damages for the defective machine.
Which of the following statements best describes the legal position regarding the exclusion clause?
