Until payment is received in full the goods remain our property and will be held by you as bailee indemnifying us against any losses in respect of the goods, provided that if any of the goods become incorporated into and part of other goods, we will have an undivided interest in the legal title to the other goods equivalent to the price of the goods plus any other money owing to us.

You agree to further provide any information and enter into any further documentation required to enable the perfection of our security interest in the goods pursuant to the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (“PPSA”).
