Subject to the provisions in Paragraph E hereof, if the consignee refuses or fails to take delivery of the consignment after its arrival at the place of delivery, Carrier will endeavor to comply with any instructions of the Shipper set forth on the face of the air waybill. If no such instructions are so set forth, or if such instructions cannot be complied with, Carrier, after forwarding to the Shipper notice of the failure of the consignee to take delivery, will: 
      1. return the consignment to the airport of departure, there to await instructions of the Shipper; or
