as being our property and any payment received by you for any sale of such goods
must be held in a separate account in trust for us. In the event of non-payment by
you for such goods we will, without loss of any rights or remedy, remove from your
possession those goods belonging to us in accordance with these conditions and we
shall be entitled to enter upon the property where the goods are stored and repossess
and remove the same. You hereby grant us irrevocable licence to enter your premises
for the said purposes.

the date the account became due until payment is received. This does not prevent
us from pursuing payment of overdue accounts at any time after payment becomes due
