It is a condition of every bulk sale through hose that the quantity shown by the Seller’s tank wagon dip rod or other measuring devices employed by the Seller shall be accepted by the Buyer as the quantity delivered, but the Buyer may be represented at the taking of these measurements to verify them if he so desires; the Seller cannot accept any responsibility whatever for discrepancies in the Buyer’s tank, dip rods or other measuring devices.
