(i) Glen Fuels being notified in writing immediately of such claim.

The above conditions of supply or any of them cannot be varied, suspended, or added to without the written consent of Glen Fuels. The Seller’s other usual terms and conditions of sale also apply and acceptance of goods will be treated as an acceptance of the Seller’s Conditions.
