6.3 When property in, and ownership of, Goods has not passed to the Customer, the Customer will, from the time those goods (the "Unpaid Goods") are Delivered, take custody of the goods and retain custody of them as the fiduciary agent and bailee of My Coffee Shop. The Customer will ensure that the Unpaid Goods do not lose their identity as, and are clearly identifiable as, the property of My Coffee Shop and are properly stored, protected and insured.
6.4 When the Customer has custody of Unpaid Goods as the fiduciary agent and bailee of My Coffee Shop under clause 6.3, the Customer may re-sell such goods but only as the fiduciary agent and bailee of My Coffee Shop.

(b) where the Proceeds are less than the Unpaid Purchase Price, such part of the debt or other property received by the Customer as a result of the re-sale that equals in value the Unpaid Purchase Price minus the Proceeds. The receipt on trust of the Proceeds, debt and other property in respect of Unpaid Goods re-sold under clause 6.4 will not discharge the Customer's debt to My Coffee Shop in respect of those goods until those amounts are actually paid to My Coffee Shop.
6.6 The Customer will maintain records to ensure that trust money and trust property are clearly identifiable as being held on trust for My Coffee Shop. Moneys held on trust for My Coffee Shop will be kept separate until they are paid to My Coffee Shop.

(a) the Customer fails to pay the Purchase Price for Goods in full by the due date as determined under clause 3.1;
(b) an Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the Customer;
(c) the Customer parts with possession of Unpaid Goods held under clause 6.3 otherwise than by way of sale in the ordinary course of the Customer's business; or
(d) the Customer breaches any of the other provisions of these Terms,
My Coffee Shop shall have the immediate right to:
(e) demand that the Customer immediately account to My Coffee Shop for any money or property including, but not restricted to, any Goods and any debt held on trust for My Coffee Shop;
(f) re-take possession of Unpaid Goods held by the Customer under clause 6.3 without notice to the Customer and for that purpose My Coffee Shop may enter upon any premises occupied by the Customer or any other place where such goods are stored free from trespass;
(g) sell Unpaid Goods held by the Customer under clause 6.3 or not yet Delivered and apply the proceeds after defraying expenses of sale and enforcement in or towards reduction of amounts due and payable on any account whatsoever to My Coffee Shop; and
(h) be indemnified by the Customer from and against (and the Customer must pay on demand to My Coffee Shop) all loss, damage, costs or expenses which My Coffee Shop may suffer or incur in exercising its rights under this clause 6.7.
6.8 The Customer must allow representatives of My Coffee Shop, free from trespass, to enter any premises where Unpaid Goods held under clause 6.3 are stored and inspect such goods at any time.
6.9 If an IP Commencement occurs in relation to the Customer, the Insolvency Practitioner must immediately conduct a stocktake of all property (including trust property) belonging to My Coffee Shop in the Customer's custody and provide My Coffee Shop with access to the results of that stocktake.
6.10 The Customer must comply with any reasonable directions given by My Coffee Shop to ensure compliance with this clause 6.
6.11 The Customer shall be liable for all costs associated with the exercise of My Coffee Shop's rights under this clause 6, which will be payable by the Customer on demand by My Coffee Shop.
6.12 The Customer irrevocably appoints My Coffee Shop as its true and lawful attorney to recover any proceeds of Unpaid Goods re-sold under clause 6.4 to any person and to exercise the Customer's rights against such person, including, without limitation, the right to re-take possession of those goods.
