(2)For the purposes of subsection (1)(b) the seller was not in the presence of the buyer at the time of the sale if—
(a)where the seller is an individual, the seller or a person acting on the seller's behalf was not in the presence of the buyer at that time;
(b)where the seller is not an individual, a person acting on the seller's behalf was not in the presence of the buyer at that time.
(3)The seller is not to be regarded as having proved that they took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to avoid the commission of the offence unless, as a minimum, they prove that the following conditions are met.
(4)Condition A is that, at the time the offence is alleged to have been committed—
(a)the seller operated a system for checking that persons who bought articles to which section 141A applied by the same or a similar method of purchase to that used by the buyer were not under the age of 18, and
(b)that system was likely to prevent persons under the age of 18 from buying such articles by that method.
