- So long as the property in the goods shall remain in the Company the Customer shall hold the goods as bailee for the Company and store the food so as to clearly show them as to be the property of the Company.
- The Company shall have the right, without prejudice to the obligations of the Customer, to purchase the goods, to retake possession of the goods (and for that purpose to go on to any premises occupied by the Customer).

- The Company reserves the right to withhold any goods from the Customer where the Customer sells goods to any person at a price that is less than the net invoice price including Value Added Tax payable by the Customer to the Company and who fails to give to the Company an acceptable undertaking to discontinue so selling.

- In certain circumstances the Company may if it thinks fit agree in writing with the Customer that it shall take some back or all of the Goods delivered to the customer.

However if the Company agrees to take back the Goods in accordance with this clause the Customer shall be liable for the safe delivery of the Goods to the Company’s premises, unless collected by the Company.
- In some cases the Company may deliver the Goods to the customer on pallets. At all times the ownership of the said pallets shall belong to the Company and that the Customer agrees that it will indemnify the Company against any damage, theft or loss thereto. The Customer also agrees that it shall return all such pallets to the Company immediately upon the delivery of the goods otherwise the charge shown on the invoice shall apply.
- The Company will not accept the return of tine, cartons, boxes and cases other than the pallets as provided in Clause 12 hereof.
- Any representation made by the Company as to the weight of the goods supplied to the Customer shall be an approximate weight only and shall not be deemed to be a condition of warranty of the contract.
- The company shall be entitled to charge the Customer with an amount equal to all costs and expenses (whether incurred pursuant to the issue of legal proceedings or not) incurred by the company in any way connected with the collection of moneys due to the Company from the Customer which have not been paid within the time limit contained in Clause 7 thereof. The amount of such costs and expenses will be submitted to the Customer by a statement and thereupon such costs and expenses shall immediately become due to the Company.
- The contractual rights which the Customer enjoys by virtue of sections 12, 14 and 15 of the sale of Goods Act, 1893 (as amended) are in no way prejudiced by anything contained in these Terms and Conditions save (if the customer is not dealing as a consumer or in the case of an international sale of goods) to the extent permitted by law.
