The Buyer shall be entitled to make use of the goods in the ordinary course of its business, but shall account to the Company for the proceeds of any sale or other use of the goods,  including insurance proceeds, whether tangible or intangible, and shall maintain these separately from its own funds or property.

3.7 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 Company.

(i) Store the goods at the Buyer’s expense;

(ii) Make further attempts at delivery at the Buyer’s expense;

(iii) Sell the goods at the best available price and account to the Buyer for any excess gains or charge the Buyer for any shortfall in relation to the contract price.

4.5 The Company shall have no liability to the Buyer for any delay or other failure in performance where such delay or failure is due to any cause beyond the Company’s control.

5 Distance Selling Regulations

5.1 In accordance with Regulation 13(1)(c) of the Distance Selling Regulations 2000, the Buyer will not have any right to cancel an order for items which are personalised, have had their standard specification altered, or are otherwise specially ordered.

5.2 In respect of any order, the Buyer agrees that the performance of the contract will commence immediately on the Company’s confirmation of the order, and that accordingly any right to cancel which would otherwise accrue under the terms of the Distance Selling Regulation 2000 is waived in accordance with Regulation 13(1)(a), except where otherwise agreed in writing and on the condition that the Buyer indemnify the Company in respect of any losses, charges, or other expenses incurred as a result of accepting the order.

6.1 Where:
