(b) refuse to accept any further Orders placed by the Client;
(c) deduct from any Deposit or other money already paid by the Client to UV Guard in connection with any other contract between UV Guard and the Client (or otherwise any money owed by the Client to UV Guard), and UV Guard will not be obliged to deliver the Goods for which the Deposit was paid to the Client until UV Guard receives from the Client all amounts owed by the Client to UV Guard;
(d) repossess any Goods already delivered to the Client. For this purpose, UV Guard may at any time without notice enter into any property or location (including land, building, vehicle, and vessel) possessed or occupied by the Client or where the Goods are reasonably thought to be situated and take all steps required to retake possession of the Goods at the expense of the Client (including dismantling anything into which the Goods have been incorporated). The Client must reimburse UV Guard at its request for all Losses incurred by UV Guard directly or indirectly in connection with the exercise of UV Guard’s rights under this sub-clause 4.5(d);
(e) treat the Client’s failure to pay as a repudiation of the Contract by the Client, terminate the Contract, forfeit the Deposit, and recover damages for breach of Contract; and
(f) exercise any security interest UV Guard has under the Contract and any other applicable law, common law, or equity.
5 PPSA
5.1 The Client gives a security interest over the Goods to UV Guard to secure any overdue amounts owed to UV Guard by the Client in connection with the Goods, any Contract or otherwise and for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing the Contract or security interest. UV Guard may exercise the security interest at any time and place in any manner as UV Guard deems fit at its sole discretion, and UV Guard will not be liable to the Client or any person for any loss, damage, cost, expense or liability of any kind incurred or suffered by them in connection for the exercise by UV Guard of its rights under the security interest.

5.3 The Client hereby appoints each director of UV Guard as its joint and several attorney to sign any form or document which the Client fails to sign pursuant to clause 5.2, and the Client agrees to ratify any such form or document signed pursuant to this clause 5.
6 COLLECTION AND DELIVERY
6.1 Unless Delivery is expressly included in the Contract, the Client is responsible for the collection of the Goods at its expense. The Client must co-ordinate with UV Guard in advance of the Collection Date, the date and manner that the Goods will be collected, including providing notification in writing of the relevant carrier’s details and the scheduled date for collection.
6.2 If the Client expressly requests in the Order (or after Order Acceptance in accordance with clause 2.8) that UV Guard will arrange the Delivery, the Client must pay for all Delivery costs and expenses as specified in the Order Acceptance or relevant Invoice (as the case may be), and UV Guard will arrange for Delivery as requested by the Client (subject to the payment in full by the Client of all Delivery costs and expenses).
6.3 If Delivery is to a destination outside Australia, the Client is responsible for and must arrange (at its cost) the transport of the Goods to the Site from the port which was designated as the Delivery destination.
6.4 If:
(a) the Client is responsible for the collection of the Goods in accordance with clause 6.1, UV Guard is discharged of all its obligations in relation to the Delivery of the Goods, and all risk associated with the collection of the Goods passes to the Client upon uploading the Goods at the Production Facility on board the carrier engaged by the Client for the collection, and the Client must insure the Goods for their full replacement value against any loss, damage, or liability that is associated with the collection and at the risk of the Client in connection with the Contract and that is otherwise expected to be covered by a prudent purchaser in the position of the Client.
(b) UV Guard is responsible for the Delivery in accordance with clause 6.2, UV Guard is discharged of all its obligations in relation to the Delivery, and all risk associated with the Delivery passes to the Client upon the Goods arriving at the Site (or, if Delivery is to a destination outside Australia, upon the Goods arriving at the port which was designated by the Client as the Delivery destination), and UV Guard is responsible to insure the Goods for their full replacement value against any loss, damage, or liability associated with the Delivery that are at the risk of the UV Guard.
6.5 The Client must notify UV Guard in writing of any damage or defect to the Goods within 7 days of the Goods arriving at the Site (or, if UV Guard has agreed in writing to provide Installation and/or Commissioning, within 7 days of the Installation and/or Commissioning). Failure to notify UV Guard of any damage or defect to the Goods within that period will constitute conclusive proof that the Goods have been received by the Client without any damage or defect.
7 PROPERTY AND RISK
7.1 Notwithstanding clause 6, title and ownership in the Goods remains exclusively with UV Guard and does not pass to the Client until UV Guard has received payment in full in cleared funds of the Contract Price in accordance with the Contract and any relevant Invoice and of all other amounts owing to UV Guard (and its associates) by the Client.

(b) the Client to UV Guard, in which case the date of Practical Completion is the date the certificate is issued by the Client.
18.2 If the Client wishes to dispute that Practical Completion has been achieved then it must serve an objection in writing to UV Guard within 5 business days of receipt of UV Guard’s certificate issued pursuant to clause 18.1 (Objection).
