     (b) the Client has met all other obligations due by the Client to the Supplier in respect of all contracts between the Supplier and the Client.
7.2 Receipt by the Supplier of any form of payment other than cash shall not be deemed to be payment until that form of payment has been honoured, cleared or recognised and until then the Supplier’s ownership or rights in respect of the Goods shall continue.
7.3 It is further agreed that:
     (a) where practicable the Goods shall be kept separate and identifiable until the Supplier shall have received payment and all other obligations of the Client are met; and
     (b) until such time as ownership of the Goods shall pass from the Supplier to the Client the Supplier may give notice in writing to the Client to return the Goods or any of them to the Supplier.

     (e) the Client is only a bailee of the Goods and until such time as the Supplier has received payment in full for the Goods then the Client shall hold any proceeds from the sale or disposal of the Goods, up to and including the amount the Client owes to the Supplier for the Goods, on trust for the Supplier; and
     (f) the Client shall not deal with the money of the Supplier in any way which may be adverse to the Supplier; and
     (g) the Client shall not charge the Goods in any way nor grant nor otherwise give any interest in the Goods while they remain the property of the Supplier; and
     (h) the Supplier can issue proceedings to recover the Price of the Goods sold notwithstanding that ownership of the Goods may not have passed to the Client; and
     (i) until such time that ownership in the Goods passes to the Client, if the Goods are converted into other products, the parties agree that the Supplier will be the owner of the end products.

The Client shall afford the Supplier an opportunity to inspect the Goods within a reasonable time following delivery if the Client believes the Goods are defective in any way. If the Client shall fail to comply with these provisions the Goods shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage. For defective Goods, which the Supplier has agreed in writing that the Client is entitled to reject, the Supplier's liability is limited to either (at the Supplier's discretion) replacing the Goods or repairing the Goods except where the Client has acquired Goods as a consumer within the meaning of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (CWlth) or the Fair Trading Acts of the relevant state or territories of Australia, and is therefore also entitled to, at the consumer’'s discretion either a refund of the purchase price of the Goods, or repair of the Goods, or replacement of the Goods.
8.2 Goods will not be accepted for return other than in accordance with 8.1 above.
