Until that time the Purchaser may sell the goods in the ordinary course of business and the proceeds will deemed to be held in trust for and as the property of the Seller. The Purchaser must not assign any property held in trust on behalf of the Seller to any third party. The Purchaser must separately store or otherwise distinguish goods delivered by the Seller until title in them passes to the Purchaser.

If the Seller enters the premises of the Purchaser to take possession of the goods and it is not possible to otherwise identify the ownership of the goods in the possession of the Purchaser, the goods will be treated as though they were sold by the Purchaser in the same sequence as the Purchaser took delivery of the goods. If the quantity of goods exceeds the amount owing, the Seller will be entitled to determine which of the goods it claims ownership in.
      4. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller can only transfer title or rights in respect of goods that it has, and if goods are purchased by the Seller from a third party, the Seller can only transfer such title or rights as that third party had and has transferred to the Seller.

Notwithstanding any such change in the Purchaser’s ownership, trading structure or name or any advice by it to the Seller of such change, the Purchaser will remain personally liable for payment of the price of any goods supplied pursuant to these terms and conditions and for compliance with these terms and conditions until it has received written confirmation from the Seller that its account has been closed and full payment received.
    3. The Purchaser agrees to do all such things, provide all such information, pay all fees and sign all documents as are necessary and required by the Seller to enable the Seller to acquire a perfected security interest in all goods supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser.

    6. The Purchaser agrees to enter into further security documentation as required by the Seller as a condition of granting a credit facility, further credit or continuing to provide credit to the Purchaser.
