If the Buyer sells any item of the Goods to a purchaser, the Buyer sells it as principal and not as agent of the Seller.
(b) Until the Goods are sold or used in a manufacturing or construction process, the Buyer must keep the Goods safe and free from deterioration, destruction, loss or harm, clearly designate the goods as the property of the Seller and keep full and complete records, firstly of the physical location of the Goods, and secondly, of the ownership of the goods by the Seller.
(c)If the Buyer does not make payment in full in accordance with clause 4, the Seller is irrevocably entitled to inspect or to recover and retake possession of any item of the Goods, and otherwise exercise in relation to the Goods any of its rights whether those rights are as owner and/or unpaid seller or otherwise and whether those rights are conferred by common law, contract, statute, or in any other way. In order to exercise such entitlement, the Seller and its agents are irrevocably authorised by the Buyer to enter any of the Buyer’s premises or vehicles or those of any third party. The Buyer agrees to obtain the consent of any such third party to such entry by the Seller and to indemnify the Seller and its agents for any liability arising from any entry upon such third parties’ premises or vehicles. The Seller and its agents agree to take all reasonable care in removing the Goods from such premises or vehicles but, to the extent this liability may be disclaimed by law, are not liable for any damage or injury to such premises caused by the removal of the Goods.

(b) The Buyer must immediately, if requested by the Seller, sign any documents, provide all necessary information and do anything else required by the Seller to ensure that the Seller’s purchase money security interest is a perfected security interest.
(c) The Buyer will not enter into any security agreement that permits any other person to have or to register any security interest in respect of the Goods or any proceeds from the sale of the Goods until the Seller has perfected its purchase money security interest.

receive any notices the Buyer would otherwise have been entitled to receive under ss 95, 118, 121, 130, 132, or 135;
apply to a Court for an order concerning the removal of an accession under section 97;
object to a proposal of the Buyer to purchase or retain any collateral under ss 130 and 135;
receive a copy of a verification statement confirming registration of a financing statement, or a financing charge statement, relating to any security interest the Seller may have in Goods supplied to the Buyer from time-to-time.
