Retention of Title Despite any other provision of this Contract, but subject to any compulsory law, full legal and equitable title to and property in the Goods does not pass to the Customer until doormax has received payment in full in cleared funds for those particular Goods and payment in full of all other money owing by the Customer on any other account, whether or not that account relates to the sale of Goods, in either case including any applicable GST and interest. Despite any other provision of this Contract, risk in the Goods passes to the Customer immediately upon delivery and the Goods must be paid for notwithstanding their loss, destruction or damage however caused. If the Customer fails to comply with any of these Terms doormax, without notice, may take possession of the Goods which were the subject of this reservation of title, or trace the proceeds of their sale (as applicable) and recover the full amount owing to doormax together with any interest and costs. The Customer must, to the extent reasonably possible, hold the Goods supplied by doormax separately from other Goods held by the Customer and marked in a way that makes it clear that they are doormax’ property pending payment in full of all monies herein mentioned. doormax may, without prejudice to any of its other rights and without notice, retake and resume possession of any of the Goods which remain its property and for that purpose, by its employees or agents, enter the Customer’s premises, or any other such place as the Goods may be, without liability for trespass or any resulting damage, if: (a) there is a breach of any contract between doormax and the Customer;

Consistently with the Customer’s intended use of the Goods, the Customer must keep the Goods in such condition as the Goods were in when supplied, or in such closest condition as can be reasonably maintained. The provisions of this clause 6 will apply irrespective of any arrangement under which doormax provides the Customer with credit. These provisions apply to the extent of any inconsistency between the two.
