The details of each Confiscated Item, including the unique identification number assigned to each Confiscated Item at the point of confiscation (the "ID Number"), will be logged into our database (our "Database").
    2. At the point of confiscation, your Confiscated Items will each be assigned an ID Number and you will be given a receipt noting the ID Numbers that are relevant to your Confiscated Items, along with details of how to contact us to reclaim your Confiscated Items.
    3. On your completing the Information Form, we will match the ID Numbers provided to your Confiscated Items and you will receive confirmation of whether your Confiscated Items are still held by us (please see paragraph 6 below for details of the period for which we will store your Confiscated Items).
    4. If your Confiscated Items are still in our possession, you will be given the option to have them returned to you by courier to a location of your choice.

    2. You hereby agree that we are entitled to rely on your having a valid ID Number as confirmation of your ownership of the relevant Confiscated Items and we will take no other steps to confirm your identity or ascertain proof of ownership.
    3. Once you have provided details of where you wish to have the Confiscated Items delivered, we will confirm the cost of delivery, which will be payable in advance via our secure online payment system at www.postandfly,combooking/payment.php# Following receipt of such payment, we will arrange for the delivery of the relevant Confiscated Items to your chosen address.
    4. For the avoidance of doubt, we reserve the right to refuse to provide the Services in respect of any items deemed unsuitable for shipment.
  5. AMENDMENTS TO RAPID PARCEL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    1. The Delivery Terms shall apply to any delivery arranged by us in accordance with these terms, save that the following shall apply:
      1. you will have no option to elect for us to accept Standard Liability in accordance with paragraph 13 of the Delivery Terms;
      2. we shall be responsible for the packing, labelling and preparation of the Confiscated Items required by paragraphs 12.1.2 to 12.1.6 (inclusive) of the Delivery Terms on your behalf.
    2. We cannot offer any delivery service (such as next-day, or any other accelerated delivery method) other than our standard delivery service for the return of Confiscated Items.
  6. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF CONFISCATED ITEMS
    1. Any Confiscated Items that have not been claimed within 30 days of them being logged into our Database shall be regarded as abandoned ("Abandoned Items").
    2. We reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any Abandoned Items and to retain the proceeds of any such sale.
    3. We shall not be liable for, and you hereby agree to hold us harmless against, any and all losses, costs, claims, liabilities and/or demands of any nature arising directly or indirectly from the sale or destruction of any Abandoned Item in accordance with paragraph 6.2 above.
    4. You must therefore ensure that delivery is arranged in accordance with paragraph 4 above in respect of your Confiscated Items before the expiry of such 30 day period.
    5. Any items that are perishable will not be held beyond the time that it is clear (in our opinion) that they have deteriorated sufficiently to no longer warrant being held or if they have, in our opinion, become a danger to the health and safety of our employees or of any other person.
  7. LIABILITY
    1. We are not in control or in possession of any items before they are handed to us by the relevant airport authority and so we shall not be held responsible for any loss or damage of any kind that you suffer or for any liability whatsoever relating to or arising out of any damage to or deterioration in the condition of any Confiscated Item that occurs before it is in our possession.
    2. In the event that we are liable to you for any breach of these terms and conditions or otherwise, we will only be liable for losses actually incurred or suffered by you that are a foreseeable consequence of our breach at the time you accepted these terms (meaning that the loss was anticipated by both you and us at that time).
    3. For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not be liable to you for any amount that would put you in a better financial position than you were in at the time you accepted these terms.
    4. Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude our liability for:
      1. death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or sub-contractors; or
      2. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
