The Company and the buyer expressly agree that until the Company has been paid in full for the goods supplied: The goods remain the property of the Company although the risk therein passes

The Company may recover these goods at any time from the buyer in his possession if the Company judges that the amount outstanding from the buyer on the general statement of account between the parties is in excess of the credit limit the Company is willing to accord to the buyer, and for that purpose the Company’s servants and agents may enter upon any land or building upon which the goods are situated. If the buyer incorporates such goods into other products, with the addition of his goods or those of others, or uses such goods as materials for other products, with or without such addition, the property in those other products is upon such incorporation or use ipso facto transferred to the Company and the buyer as
bailee of them for the Company will store the same for the Company in a proper manner without charge to the Company. The buyer has the right to dispose of the goods or such other products in the course of his business for the account of the Company and to pass good title to the goods or products to his customer being a bona fide purchaser for value without notice of the Company’s rights. In the event of such disposal the buyer has the fiduciary duty to the Company to account to the Company for the proceeds but may retain therefrom an excess of such proceeds over the amount outstanding and due to the Company, and the Company has the additional right to recover the buyer’s price from the buyer’s customer to the extent unpaid; it the Company avails itself of this right, it will account to the buyer for any excess less any expenses incurred by effecting recovery.
