8. RETENTION OF TITLE: The property in the Products shall not pass to the Purchaser until AF has received payment in full of the purchase price together with payment of all other sums due from the Purchaser to AF on any other account. Until such payment has been received the Purchaser shall hold the products solely in fiduciary capacity and as a bailee for AF. The Purchaser shall use its utmost endeavours to store Products supplied by AF separately from all other products and shall mark those Products in which title has not passed to the Purchaser, conspicuously so as to be readily identifiable as being the property of AF.
a) The Purchaser is hereby licensed to sell the Products notwithstanding that the title therein may not then have passed to it. The Purchaser shall (as between the Purchaser and AF but not as between Purchaser and any sub-purchaser) make such sale as agent for AF and accordingly shall hold the proceeds of any re-sale as trustee and agent for AF and shall keep them apart from other monies of the Purchaser but if the Purchaser shall, whilst the contract of sale remain un-repudiated and otherwise capable of completion, make payment in full for the Products, the Purchaser shall become entitled to the proceeds representing such products.
b) The Purchaser shall insure the Products on or at the Purchaser premises against fire, lightening, explosion, aircraft, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, earthquake, storm, tempest, flood, burst pipes and theft, and shall, if required to do so by AF, prove to AF that such insurance has been effected (a clause notice of AF’s interest in the Products noted on the Purchaser’s insurance policy). Until property in the product passes to the Purchaser, AF shall be entitled to repossess the Products and for the purpose of such repossession shall be entitled to enter upon the Purchaser’s premises during normal business hours to remove the Products.
c) The Purchaser’s right to sell the Products shall automatically cease if a Receiver is appointed over any of the assets of the Purchaser, the Purchaser enters into administration, a winding up order is made against the Purchaser or the Purchaser goes into voluntary liquidation or makes arrangements or composition with its creditors or becomes bankrupt. In any of these circumstances AF shall be entitled to treat the contract as repudiated and to enter the premises of the Purchaser for the purpose of removing the Products.
d) Products situated in Scotland: The property in the Products shall not pass to the Purchaser until AF has received payment in full of the purchase price thereof. Clauses (c) and (d) above shall also apply to Products situated in Scotland.
