instalments shall not entitle the Purchaser to treat the contract as whole as
repudiated.
- 4.6 If the Purchaser fails to take delivery of the Goods on or before the Delivery

cost of production, delivery, provision or otherwise which is due to Force

a Review Date but without reflecting any increase in the price of the Goods to
be effective as at such date then the Seller shall be entitled to retrospectively

forthwith the Seller or its agents may enter the premises of which the

in which property remains in the Seller and remove and dispose of

Seller.

extend to those other goods.
