The Seller also reserves the right to arrange adequate insurance, either independently or through the carrier, for the Goods up until the time when they are delivered, to the place agreed between the parties, and a Proof of Delivery has been issued, at which time risk passes to the Buyer.
8.4 The Goods are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of delivery. If for any reason the Buyer will not accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, or the Seller is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations, risk in the Goods will pass to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by the Seller's negligence) from the moment of attempted delivery, the Goods will be deemed to have been delivered and the Seller may store the Goods until delivery whereupon the Buyer will be liable for all related costs and expenses (including without limitation storage and insurance).
8.5 If the Goods are to be delivered in installments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the installments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more installments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
8.6 If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods (or any installments) for any reason other than Force Majeure (as defined below) or the Buyer's fault, and the Seller is accordingly liable to the Buyers, the Seller's liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered over the price of the Goods.

9. Title
9.1 Property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to it in respect both of the Goods, and all other sums which are or which become due to the Seller from the Buyer on any account.
9.2 Until property in the Goods has passed to the Buyer the Buyer must: store the Goods (at no cost to the Seller) separately from all other goods of the Buyer or any third party in such a way as they remain readily identifiable as the Seller's property; not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition insured on the Seller's behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Seller. On request the Buyer shall produce the policy of insurance to the Seller. The Seller shall be entitled to recover payment for the Goods notwithstanding that property in the Goods has not passed from the Seller. The Buyer grants the Sellers, its agents and employees an irrevocable license at any time to enter any premises where the goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them or, where the Buyer's right to possession has terminated, to recover them. The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of the Seller, but if the Buyer does so all monies owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, forthwith become due and payable.
