Where the Customer requests delivery where no person will be able to sign for the Item(s) (such as leaving the Item(s) at an unmanned address) and the Partner accepts this request, the Partner shall not be liable for any claims that the Partner was not delivered where the Partner has confirmed in real time that the Item was delivered.
