2. Storage charges on freight awaiting delivery will begin at 12:01 a.m., the second business day after the freight is available for delivery and notice of arrival has been given. Except, storage charges will begin at 12:01 a.m. the first business day after the freight is available for delivery (even if notice of arrival has not been given) when delivery of the shipment is delayed at the request or act of the shipper or third party payor.
