Risk and Property: Risk of damage or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery and the Buyer must insure them against loss or damage accordingly. Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods or any other provision of these conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other Goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Buyer for which payment is then due.

Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods as the Seller’s fiduciary agent and bailee and the Buyer hereby acknowledges that there shall accordingly subsist a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Goods between the Buyer and the Seller and shall keep the Goods separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as the Seller’s property.

The Buyer shall keep records to be produced to the Seller whenever required, of the name and address of any such sub-purchaser and the date and contract price of each delivery and shall, if the Seller so requires, in writing assign any such claims as the Buyer has against such sub-purchaser as emanates from this transaction.

Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Buyer (and provided the Goods are still in existence and have not been resold) the Seller shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods to the Seller and if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter any premises of the Buyer or of 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 any of the Goods which remain the property of the Seller, but if the Buyer does so all monies owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due and payable. It is declared for the avoidance of doubt without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing that the Seller may recover the Goods and payment shall become due if: the Buyer does, or fails to do, anything which would entitle an administrator or an administrative receiver to take possession of any of its assets and which would entitle any person to present a petition to wind up the Buyer and /or the Buyer passes any resolution to wind itself up or publishes a notice convening a meeting of its creditors pursuant to section 28 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or any statutory modification or replacement thereof and/or the Buyer, if an individual has a bankruptcy order made against it or enters into any agreement for the benefit of its creditors generally. Each of the preceding clauses and sub-paragraphs shall be construed and shall take effect separately and in the event of one or more such clauses or sub-paragraphs being held ineffective, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining clauses or sub-paragraphs.

Payment:Unless otherwise agreed in writing by a Director of the Seller, all invoices become due for payment on the last banking day of the month following date of invoice. Payment is to be made on or before the due date. Time for payment shall be of the essence. In the event that the Buyer sells their business, ceases to trade with the Seller or substantially reduces their purchases then unless otherwise agreed in writing by a Director of the Seller all outstanding amounts become due immediately. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy available if payment is more than ten days overdue all other sums owing by the Buyer to the Seller become due immediately.
If the Buyer fails to make any payment on or before the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to: reduce or cancel any settlement or other discounts owing to the Buyer; cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer; appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods as the Seller may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriating by the Buyer); charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid at the rate of four per cent (4%) above Royal Bank of Scotland base rate from time to time until payment is made, interest being calculated on a daily basis of 1/365 of the annual interest rate; charge the Buyer all costs reasonably incurred in the collection of any overdue amount including collection, agency and legal fees.

If this clause applies then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries under the Contract without any liability to the Buyer and if the Goods have been delivered but not paid for the price shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding any previous agreement or arrangement to the contrary.
