Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement, the Buyer will return or destroy (as applicable) all Seller confidential information, unless where to do so would be contrary to law.

Title and Risk

Until then, the Buyer must: (a) keep them in its possession and control; (b) keep them in good repair and condition, excluding fair wear and tear; (c) keep them stored separately and marked so that the Goods are clearly and easily identifiable as the Seller’s property and inform the Seller of the location of the Goods, if requested; (d) not permit any charge, pledge, lien nor other encumbrance to be created in relation to them; (e) maintain and allow the Seller to inspect records which: (i) identify any unpaid Goods owned by the Seller; (ii) detail third parties to whom the Buyer sells or otherwise disposes of the unpaid Goods; and (iii) detail payments made by such parties for the unpaid Goods.

If the Buyer uses the Goods in a manufacturing process of its own or of some third party, the Buyer must book the proceeds of such manufacturing process relating to the Goods in trust for the Seller and book such proceeds separately from its own moneys until the liability to the Seller is discharged. Such part shall be deemed to equal in dollar terms to the amount owing by the Buyer to the Seller in respect of the Goods in question at the time of receipt of such proceeds.

36. Despite the retention of these rights, the Seller may recover the price of the Goods from the Buyer.

In addition, the Buyer grants the Seller a charge in all Goods supplied to the Buyer under this Agreement, which charge secures the performance by the Buyer of its obligations to the Seller.
39. Nothing in this Agreement may be construed as an agreement or consent by the Seller to: (a) subordinate any security interest granted in favour of the Seller in favour of any person; or (b) defer or postpone the date of attachment of any security interest granted in favour of the Seller.
40. The Buyer must not, without the Seller's prior consent, allow: (a) the Goods to become mixed or commingled with any other property; (b) the Goods to become an accession to any other property; or (c) any other property to become an accession to the Goods.

The Buyer must do all things and provide all information necessary to enable the Seller to perfect its security interest in the Goods, including: (a) ensuring that the security interest is enforceable against third parties, or otherwise effective; and (b) assisting the Seller to complete the registration of any financing statement or financing change statement (each as defined in the PPSA).
42. The Buyer must pay all costs incurred by the Seller in connection with the registration of a financing statement or financing change statement (each as defined in the PPSA) in respect of a security interest granted by the Buyer in favour of the Seller.

44. The Buyer undertakes not to change any of its details recorded in a financing statement registered by the Seller (including changing its ACN or any ABN allocated to a trust of which it is trustee or becoming the trustee of a trust) without giving the Seller 10 Business Days' prior notice.
45. The Seller may apply or appropriate all money received from the Buyer as the Seller sees fit (including so as to enable the Seller to preserve any purchase money security interest (as defined in the PPSA)).

47. To the extent permitted by law, the Buyer and the Seller contract out of sections 125, 132(3)(d), 142, 143 and (if permitted by section 115(7)) Part 4.3 (other than sections 123(1), 126, 128, 129(1), 133, 134(1), 136(1) and 136(2)) of the PPSA.

Insurance

49.

Limitation of Liability
