(b) it shall be the Customer’s express responsibility to make all necessary arrangements to ensure that they (or a third party acting their behalf) is able to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery by Dance4me’s carrier. Where this option (b) is chosen as the preferred delivery method then the Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that if no person is there to receive the Goods when they are tendered for delivery that Dance4me’s carrier may (at the Customers sole risk) leave the Goods at the delivery address nominated, and that the Customer shall not be entitled to make any claim against either the carrier or Dance4me for any subsequent loss of, or damage to, those Goods.

7.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, Dance4me is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods.

7.3 Where Dance4me gives advice, recommendations, information, assistance or service to the Customer or the Customers agent, regarding the Goods or Services then it is given in good faith and Dance4me shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any damages, losses or costs however arising resulting from the Customer relying on the same.

(a) only trained, professional pole dancers will use the Goods; and
(b) the Goods will at all times be adequately supervised and regulated; and
(c) the Customer or any other person using the Goods hereby indemnifies Dance4me against any injury, loss or damage.

7.6 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that as with any removable portable pole that relies on pressure between the floor and ceiling to keep it stable, damage can occur to the floor or ceiling.
