10.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 10.1 if the Customer specifically requests CCC to leave Goods outside CCC’s premises for collection or to deliver the Goods to an unattended location then such Goods shall always be left at sole risk of the Customer and it shall be the Customer’s responsibility to ensure the Goods are insured adequately or at all.
