The production of these terms and conditions by the Supplier is sufficient evidence of the Supplier’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Supplier to make further enquiries.

3.3 In the event that the Goods and/or Services provided by the Supplier are the subject of an insurance claim that the Customer has made, then the Customer shall be responsible for the payment of any monies payable to the insurance company and agrees to honour their obligation for payment for such transactions invoiced by the Supplier and shall ensure payment is made by the due date irrespective of whether the insurance claim is successful.

4.3 It is further agreed that:

(a) until ownership of the Goods passes to the Customer in accordance with clause 4.1 that the Customer is only a bailee of the Goods and must return the Goods to the Supplier on request.
