Prevention of contracting-outU.K.
16.—(1) A term contained in any contract is void if, and to the extent that, it is inconsistent with the application of a provision of these Regulations to a distance contract or the application of regulation 15 to a supply of unsolicited financial services.
(2) Where a provision of these Regulations specifies a duty or liability of the consumer in certain circumstances, a term contained in a contract is inconsistent with that provision if it purports to impose, directly or indirectly, an additional or greater duty or liability on him in those circumstances.
[F1(3) These Regulations apply despite any contract term which applies or purports to apply the law of a country other than the United Kingdom, if the contract or supply has a close connection with the United Kingdom or any part of the United Kingdom.]
