In the event of such disposal the Purchaser shall account to the Company for the proceeds as fiduciary owner thereof and pending its so doing shall be bound to retain such proceeds on trust for the Company notwithstanding that the period or credit allowed to the Purchaser hereunder may not then have expired and the Company shall have the right to trace proceeds thereof but the Purchaser may retain therefrom any excess of such proceeds
over the amount outstanding under this contract; 
8.4.4 without prejudice to the provisions of Clause 8.1 above the Company consents to the use of Goods and/or Deliverables by the Purchaser in the assembly of some other goods incorporating the Goods and/or Deliverables (“the Assembled Goods”), notwithstanding that title in the Goods and/or Deliverables shall not have passed to the Purchaser, provided that such assembly does not result in the Goods and/or Deliverables being changed by any manufacturing process and the Goods and/or Deliverables may be recovered by disassembly of the Assembled Goods; and

8.5 If the Purchaser has not received payment for a disposal under Clause 8.4.3 above; the Purchaser shall, upon notice in writing by the Company, assign to the Company all its rights against its customer in respect of that disposal.
8.6 In the event that the Company exercises its rights of ownership so as to recover possession of the Goods and/or Deliverables or any of them the risk in the Goods and/or Deliverables retaken shall revert to the Company on possession being taken by the Company its servants or agents and the Company shall have full and unencumbered right to dispose of the Goods and/or Deliverables free of any rights whatsoever on the part of the Purchaser to the Goods and/or Deliverables or the proceeds of sale thereof.

9. Lien

The Company shall have a general lien against the Purchaser of any Goods of the Purchaser for the time being in the possession of the Company for amounts overdue under this Contract.

16. Notices and Jurisdiction

16.1 Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other under these Conditions shall be in writing addressed to the Company at its registered office marked for the attention of the Company Secretary and to the Purchaser at its registered office or principal place of business or such other address as may at the relevant time have been notified to the Company pursuant to this provisions.

17. Sanctions and Export Control

17.1 It is very important to the Company to comply with the requirements of the UK government and with other applicable international laws including those relating to sanctions restrictions and export control.
17.2 With the 12th sanctions package of the European Union, a new level of trade restrictions has been introduced across the EU. With immediate effect, EU companies are legally obliged to contractually prohibit the re-export of certain goods to Russia and Belarus ("no-Russia clause") and to agree a re-export clause with the respective business partner. We would like to expressly draw your attention to your obligation to comply with existing export law. Whilst the Company is located in the EU, it has chosen to align with the EU requirements and therefore requires the Purchase to do the same.
17.3 Furthermore, any Agreement concluded between the Company and the Purchaser with immediate effect is subject to the condition that it shall only be deemed to have been concluded with the Company as legally binding once a complete 4156-4631-2229, v. 2 export/shipping license (if required) has been provided to the Company. Failure by the competent authority to issue the required authorisation is a breach of law and the Agreement concluded between the Company and the Purchaser is to be deemed null and void and no claims shall then arise for either party. Any liability for damages on the part of the Company (and any other member of its group) arising from your failure to comply with any sanctions and/or export control is also excluded in full from the Agreement

17.4 The parties acknowledge that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for the breach of the provisions of this section 17. Accordingly, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies it may have, the Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief (including without limitation injunctive relief) concerning any threatened or actual breach of any of the provisions within section 17 from any court of competent jurisdiction.
