3.3.1 If the Goods are to be manufactured or any process is to be applied to the Goods by the Seller in accordance with specification submitted by the customer, the Customer shall indemnify the Seller against all losses, damages, costs and expenses awarded against or incurred by the Seller in connection with or paid or agreed to be paid by the Seller in settlement of any claim for infringement of any patent, copyright, design, trademark or other industrial or intellectual property rights of any other person which results from the Seller's use of the Customer's specification.

4.3 The Seller reserves the right to recover from the Customer all direct expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller in the collection of any overdue sums.

5. TITLE

5.1.1 Legal ownership of the Goods is to remain vested in the Seller until the Goods have been paid for in full;

5.1.2 If the Customer obtains possession of the Goods prior to such payment, the customer shall hold the goods in a separate and identifiable form as bailee and fiduciary agent for the Seller;

5.1.3 Failure to pay the full amount when due shall give the Seller, or its employees or agents, the right to repossess the Goods (and enter the customer's premises for that purpose if necessary) with or without and without liability and, at its option, to avail itself of any other legal remedy;

5.1.4 The Seller shall have the right to sell the Goods once they have been re-possessed under this condition.

5.2 Notwithstanding this clause 5, the Seller shall be entitled to maintain an action for the price of the Goods at any time after the date when payment is due.

5.3 If prior to payment in full being made the Goods become commingled with similar goods belonging to the Customer and/or any third party the customer shall hold the Seller's proportion of the commingled Goods or their proceeds of sale on trust for the Seller. The Seller shall be treated as a tenant-in-common of the commingled goods and the Customer shall hold as trustee for the Sellers' proportion and (if the commingled goods have been sold) pay to the seller its due proportion of the proceeds of the sale.


6. PERFORMANCE AND FORCE MAJEURE

6.1 The Seller shall take all reasonable steps to perform its obligations and deliver within the time specified, but such times are estimates only. The Seller shall not be liable for expenses losses or damages caused by late performance or delay in delivery and such late performance or delay shall not entitle the Customer to rescind the contract.

6.2 Without prejudice to the above, the Seller shall have no liability for any expenses losses or damages caused by delay or default in performance of any obligation caused directly or indirectly by break-down or unavailability of plant or machinery, failure of raw material or supply of raw material, inability to obtain sufficient skilled labour or any other cause or causes beyond the reasonable control of the Seller.

7.5 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
