Although risk in the goods supplied passes to the Purchaser on delivery, legal title in such goods shall not pass to the Purchaser until CRSCS has received in cleared funds the full price payable for such goods and ALL other goods supplied by CRSCS to the Purchaser for which payment is then due. Until legal title passes, the Purchaser shall hold the goods as CRSCS’s fiduciary agent and bailee and shall keep them properly stored, protected, insured and identified as CRSCS s property. Until that time the Purchaser is entitled to resell or use the goods in the ordinary course of its business but shall account to CRSCS for their proceeds of sale and pending payment shall hold such proceeds on trust for CRSCS absolutely The Purchaser’s right to resell or use the goods shall terminate automatically if a liquidator or (administrative) receiver or administrator of the Purchaser is appointed or an order is made or a resolution passed for the winding up of the Purchaser. Until such time as legal title in the goods passes to the Purchaser CRSCS may at any time require the Purchaser, its liquidator, (administrative) receiver or administrator to return the goods and/or may repossess the goods by entering upon any premises of the Purchaser or any third party where the goods are reasonably believed to be stored. In addition and without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to CRSCS, if the purchaser is in breach of the payment terms or of any of its obligations under this clause, CRSCS shall be entitled to cancel the contract, suspend further deliveries, terminate any outstanding order or quotation without incurring any liability whatsoever as a consequence of this action.
