TITLE AND PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 2009 (CTH) (PPSA)
Goods
Whilst risk in the Goods passes on delivery, legal and beneficial title in the Goods shall remain with Kolda until it has received payment in full for all monies owed by the Customer.
Until Kolda has received payment in full for all monies owed by the Customer, Kolda reserves the following rights:
legal and beneficial ownership of the Goods;
the right to enter the Customer’s premises and retake possession of the Goods;
the right to keep or resell any Goods repossessed under sub-clause 9.2.2; and
any other rights it may have at law or under the PPSA.

Kolda resells the Goods repossessed, it is agreed that Kolda may credit the Customer’s account with the net proceeds of sale (after deduction of all repossession, storage, selling and other costs); or
Kolda retains possession of the repossessed Goods, it is agreed that Kolda may credit the Customer’s account with the invoice value less such sum as Kolda reasonably determines on account of wear and tear, depreciation, obsolescence, loss of profit and costs.
Kolda shall not be liable for any costs, damages, expenses, or losses incurred by the Customer or any third party as a result of any action taken to repossess the Goods.
If the Goods are attached, fixed, or incorporated into any property of the Customer, title in the Goods shall remain with Kolda until the Customer has made payment for all monies owed to Kolda and where those Goods are mixed with other property so as to be part of or a constituent of any new product, title to these products shall be deemed to be assigned to Kolda as security for the full satisfaction by the Customer of the full amount owing between Kolda and the Customer.
Until Kolda receives payment for Goods in full, the Customer acknowledges that Kolda has a Purchase Money Security Interest (“PMSI”) which attaches over the Goods and their proceeds and a Security Interest in relation to other amounts owed by the Customer to Kolda.
General
Upon assenting to these Terms and Conditions, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that these Terms and Conditions constitute a Security Agreement for the purposes of the PPSA.
The Customer undertakes to do anything (such as obtaining consents, producing documents, producing receipts, and getting documents completed and signed) which Kolda asks and considers reasonably necessary for the purposes of:
ensuring that a PMSI and/or Security Interest is enforceable, perfected and effective;
enabling Kolda to apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with the Security Interest created under this Agreement so that the PMSI and/or Security Interest has the priority required by Kolda.
To the extent permitted by law, the Customer irrevocably waives its right to:
receive notices or statements under sections 95, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d), 132(4) and 135 of the PPSA;
redeem the Goods under section 142 of the PPSA;

the Customer shall indemnify Kolda against all claims and loss of any kind whatsoever however caused or arising and without limiting the generality of the foregoing of this clause whether caused or arising as a result of the negligence of Kolda or otherwise, brought by any person in connection with any matter, act, omission, or error by Kolda, its agents or employees in connection with the Goods.
