Mailing names must have a connection to the customer, this could be the trading name if used by them, family members or a director of a company. Any mailing name that is not the customer shall be deemed a third party. The customer must always have the permission from the third party and where requested by us a letter of authority must be provided within 10 days.

Third Parties

Any mailing name or a person acting on behalf of a mailing name is considered a third party and not entering into this contract. We will not take account instructions from third parties.

In the event that CDD is not met, we may have to refuse your business, request further documents/information or evidence. We cannot provide a service until this has been satisfied.
