4.5 On arrival, the Customer must inspect the Goods. If packaging/pallet appears damaged, the POD must be marked “Damaged” (not “Unchecked”).
4.6 If the Customer fails to accept delivery or provide instructions, delivery is deemed completed at 09:00 on the third Business Day after the attempted delivery; we may store/re-deliver at the Customer’s cost and, after 10 Business Days, resell or dispose of the Goods and account for any balance (less costs) or recover any shortfall.
