6.6 Subject to Clause 6.8 below, if the Carrier cannot obtain a receipt at the address of the addressee it shall be entitled to attempt to deliver and obtain an appropriate receipt at an address close to the address of the addressee and, if successful, the Carrier will leave at the address of the addressee details of the address at which delivery has been effected. If the Package has not been delivered, the Carrier shall be entitled to return it to the Carrier's premises, after leaving at the address of the addressee a request for the addressee to contact the Carrier to make alternative delivery arrangements. If:
6.6.1 no such contact is made within a reasonable time; or
6.6.2 the addressee refuses to accept delivery;
6.6.3 it transpires that the Package was incorrectly addressed; or
6.6.4 if we do not receive your instructions within 30 days after the Carrier's second attempt (if a second attempt is made) to deliver the Package,
then you agree that:
6.6.4.1 the Carrier may attempt to return the package to you at your cost; or
6.6.4.2 we or the Carrier may destroy or sell the Package without any further liability to you.
6.7 You agree to pay us any costs we or the Carrier incur in storing, forwarding, disposing of, selling or returning the Package and the Carrier's charges (if any) for making a second or further delivery attempt, returning the Package to you and/or for the agreed appropriate next action.
6.8 If the Carrier is unable to deliver a Package because of an incorrect address the Carrier will make all reasonable efforts to find the correct address. We will notify you of the correction and the Carrier will deliver or attempt to deliver the Package to the correct address.
6.9 Save where Convention Rules (as defined in Clause 14.2) or other mandatory national laws require otherwise, neither we or the Carrier accepts any responsibility in any circumstances for the suspension of carriage, redirected delivery (whether to a different address from that stated on the Consignment Note or in the Confirmation) or the return of a Package to you and, in the event that the Carrier should attempt but fail to do so, neither we or the Carrier shall have any liability for any losses occasioned thereby.
6.10 Please note that some Carriers will not deliver to post office box numbers and we therefore reserve the right to refuse any order for such Services. Where deliveries to post office box numbers are accepted, they will only be accepted if the telephone number of the addressee is also provided and you agree that in the event that the Carrier is unable to deliver the Package at the first attempt then the Carrier may post the Package to the addressee and proof of posting is sufficient proof of delivery.
6.11 We are not required to provide you with proof of delivery of any Package.
