(ii) Require payment immediately of all outstanding invoices whether in respect of this contract or any other
(ii) Repossess the Goods (the Purchaser granting the Company all necessary access) and

The Purchaser shall be liable for all risks to Goods supplied from the time of delivery to the Purchaser notwithstanding that title to the Goods has not passed by virtue of condition (Title below). The Purchaser should therefore insure the Goods against the usual risks.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

TITLE:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Goods sold will remain the property of the Company until all sums due to the Company from the Purchaser whether in respect of the Goods or otherwise are paid to the Company. In the event of any default by the Purchaser in payments of any such sum the Company shall be entitled to retain or regain possession of the Goods. Not withstanding above the Purchaser shall be free to sell any Goods in the ordinary course of its business so as to pass good title to any third party provided always that claims for proceeds from such resale be deemed to be assigned to the Company and proceeds from such resale received by the Purchaser shall be held by the Purchaser on trust for the Company to the extent necessary to effect full payment to the Company and the Purchaser shall if required by the Company immediately upon such resale notify the Company with full details of such resale.<\/p>\n

Until the full purchase price has been paid Goods remaining in the Purchaser’s possession and the proceeds of sale thereof shall be held by the Purchaser on trust for the Company which shall be entitled to terminate such trust at any time without notice and the Purchaser hereby grants the Company irrevocable license to enter upon the Purchaser’s premises to recover the whole or any part of the Goods which in the meantime shall be stored separately from other goods and in such a way as to clearly identify them as the Company’s property.<\/p>\n

Recovery by the Company of the Goods or receipt of the proceeds of resale pursuant to These Conditions shall be without prejudice to the right of the Company to take action against the Purchaser for the recovery of sums due to it to the extent that the Goods recovered, or proceeds of resale received do not have sufficient value to cover the sums due to the Company and any costs and expenses incurred.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
