b. The term Buyer shall mean the person, company or other type of organisation that enters into a Contract to purchase Goods (and Services) from the Seller.
2. Where the Seller delivers in bulk it is the Buyer's responsibility:
a. to provide a safe and suitable bulk storage, which complies in all respects with all relevant requirements of and/or regulations made by H.M. Government or other competent authority e.g. OFTEC;
b. to ensure that the storage into which delivery is to be made will accommodate the full quantity ordered and have a correctly fitted gauge in working order.

3. It is a condition of every bulk sale through the hose that the quantity shown by the Seller's tank dip rod or other measuring devices employed by the Seller shall for the purpose of accounts be accepted by the Buyer as the quantity delivered but the Buyer may be represented at the taking of these measurements in order to verify them if he so desires; the Seller cannot accept any responsibility whatsoever for discrepancies in the Buyer's tanks, dip rods or other measuring devices. If on any delivery the Buyer or any representative of the Buyer, whether or not for the purpose of certifying the Seller's measurement or quantity for that delivery, mounts any tanker used on that delivery the Buyer or his representative (as the case may be) shall do so at his own risk and the Seller accepts no responsibility whatsoever therefore.
