RISK AND RETENTION OF TITLE
Risk of damage or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when the Company has tendered delivery of the Goods or when the Company has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection.

Until such time as the title in the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods as the Company’s fiduciary agent and bailee and shall keep the goods separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured to their full price and identified as the Company’s property.

Until that time the Buyer shall be entitled to re-sell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business but shall account to the Company for the proceeds of sale or otherwise of the Goods, whether tangible or intangible, including insurance proceeds, and shall keep all such proceeds separate from any monies or property of the Buyer and third parties, and in the case of tangible proceeds, properly stored, protected and insured.

Until such time as the title in the Goods passes to the Buyer (and provided the Goods are still in existence and have not been re-sold) the Company shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods to the Company, and, if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.

The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness of any of the Goods which remain the property of the Company, but if the Buyer does so, the Buyer’s right to possession of the Goods shall terminate immediately and all monies owing by the Buyer to the Company shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Company) forthwith become due and payable.
