4.Title
4.1 Title in any goods supplied to the buyer shall not pass until the price thereof has been paid in full, provided that risk in the goods shall pass to the buyer upon delivery. Until payment is made the buyer shall hold the goods as bailee for Best Tractor Parts Pty Ltd and shall, if requested store them separately from any other goods.

The company may also (without prejudice to any of its other rights):

a) Recover and resell the goods (notwithstanding any reasonable incidental consequential loss or damage in respect of goods which shall or may have become constituents of other goods) at its discretion and the buyer irrevocably authorises the    company to enter any premises for that purpose.
b) Cancel all existing contracts with the buyer without any liability to the buyer.
c) Suspend further deliveries to the buyer without any liability to the buyer.
