      • Not remove, alter or interfere with the packaging or labels on the Goods.
    4. Biosylx will be entitled to recover the Price (plus applicable VAT) from the Customer notwithstanding that title to any of the Goods has not passed from Biosylx.
    5. Until such time as title to the Goods passes from Biosylx the Customer will upon BioSYLx’s request immediately deliver up to Biosylx all such Goods that remain the property of Biosylx.

    6. In the event of loss, damage or disappearance of any of the Goods howsoever caused the Customer will pay in full the Price of said Goods to Biosylx.
    7. Any Goods remaining in the possession of the Customer will be presumed to be those Goods for which payment has not been made and Biosylx will be entitled to take possession of said Goods without prejudice to any other rights of Biosylx under this Agreement or to any claim for damages made by Biosylx for total or partial failure to pay the price thereof.
