Title and Risk 8.1 Title in the Goods passes to the Purchaser on payment by the Purchaser of the Price in full. Where the Purchaser has not paid the Company the Price in full and risk has transferred, the Purchaser agrees to hold the Goods as a fiduciary for the Company.
8.2 Notwithstanding clause 8.1 above, risk in the Goods passes to the Purchaser from the first occurrence of:
(a) the passing of title in the Goods to the Purchaser;
(b) the physical delivery of the Goods to the Purchaser;
(c) the time when the Goods have been dispatched from the premises of the Company or another location nominated by the Company, or placed on a carrier which is to effect delivery of the Goods from the Company or another location nominated by the Company to the Purchaser, where the carrier has been nominated, arranged or retained by the Purchaser; or
(d) the time when the Goods arrive at the premises of the Purchaser (prior to being taken off the carrier) where the carrier which is to effect delivery of the Goods from the Company or another location nominated by the Company to the Purchaser has been nominated, arranged or retained by the Company; or
(e) if Goods are stored by the Company on behalf of the Purchaser in accordance with Clause 9.
8.3 The Company is not liable for any loss or damage or deterioration of the Goods after risk in the Goods has passed to the Purchaser.
8.4 In addition to any other rights the Company may have against the Purchaser, the Company may repossess the Goods if any amount due in respect of the Goods is outstanding or if the Company reasonably believes that any such amount will not be paid in full when it falls due for payment. The Purchaser grants the Company an irrevocable licence to enter upon any premises of the Purchaser for the purpose of taking possession of the Goods in accordance with this clause.
8.5 The Purchaser may sell and deliver the Goods as the Company's fiduciary to a third party in the ordinary course of the Purchaser's business provided that:
(a) where the Purchaser is paid by the third party for the Goods, the Purchaser shall account to the Company in respect of the payment in accordance with the Purchaser's fiduciary obligations; and
(b) where the Purchaser is not paid by the third party the Purchaser agrees to assign to the Company its claim against the third party upon receiving the Company's written request to that effect.
8.6 For the purposes of clause 8.4 and clause 8.5, where the Company supplies particular Goods of the same or similar nature on multiple occasions, where the Purchaser does not make payment in respect of particular Goods, the non-payment is treated as being first in respect of particular Goods of the same or similar nature still in the possession of the Purchaser, and then against particular Goods which have passed out of the possession of the Purchaser.
