You can disclaim away negligence, except where it causes personal injury or death, but only where it's reasonable to do so and only where the disclaimer is brought to the other party's attention. In this case, since it's presumably being relied upon as a contractual term, it would have to satisfy the requirement of reasonableness in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999. Which it wouldn't, given the laughably broad terms in which it's drafted.
Thanks for that, I've pretty much copy and pasted your post into my response.
