Northern Rock

I've just opened a Northern Rock e-Saver account and the T&C clearly states that the FSA protection is applicable to the first £35,000 and yet the article on this web site clearly states that there is no limit.

Who is right?

"Northern Rock is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Payments under the Scheme are limited to 100% of the first £35,000 of a depositor's total deposits with the bank. Most depositors, including individuals and some small firms are covered. The scheme limit relates to each depositor for their combined deposits held with Northern Rock and not for each Account. Further details of the scheme are available on request."
