7. RESERVATION OF TITLE

1. Seller shall retain ownership of the goods until all payment demands of Seller in respect of Buyer from the business transaction have been settled, including any demands arising in the future, even from contracts finalized at the same time or later. The reservation of title shall also apply to the balance agreed inasmuch as any demands towards the contractual partner have been booked on a current account basis (current account retention).
2. In the case of some significant behavior in violation of the contract, in particular default of payment, TeqFind by XDS B.V. shall be entitled to take back the item supplied. Buyer is obliged to release the item. Taking back an item delivered does not imply a withdrawal from the contract unless TeqFind by XDS B.V. have stated this expressly in writing. If the item supplied by TeqFind by XDS B.V. is impounded, TeqFind by XDS B.V. must be informed immediately and the person impounding must be told of this so that a court action can be brought in accordance with Civil Procedure.
3. The reserved goods must be kept by Client for TeqFind by XDS B.V. with the diligence of a prudent businessman.

TeqFind by XDS B.V. accept the assignment.
4. If the purchase price is paid by Buyer by draft or cheque, then this merely represents a payment demand of Seller on the grounds of a draft or cheque. Any reservation of title and any claims from the delivery of the goods or any claims from a prolonged retention of title shall only expire when the draft or cheque has been drawn on Buyer.
5. Buyer shall be entitled to re-sell the reserved goods in the ordinary course of business. Buyer herewith, as of now, assigns to TeqFind by XDS B.V. all claims which he has against his buyer or a third party from the further sale, irrespective of whether the item supplied has been re-sold with or without a contract. TeqFind by XDS B.V. hereby accepts the assignment.
6. If reserved goods, either in process or processed, are sold together with items which are the exclusive property of Buyer, then Buyer as of now assigns to Seller his claims for payment in full arising from the re-sale. If a reserved item of Buyer is sold after processing/combining with an item which does not belong to Seller, then Buyer as of now assigns the demands arising from this re-sale to the value of the reserved item along with all subsidiary rights and with priority over all other debts. Seller hereby accepts the assignment.
7. Buyer is empowered to collect this demand even after assignment. The authority of Seller to collect the demand himself shall remain unaffected by this. However, Seller undertakes not to collect the demand as long as Buyer continues to fulfil his obligations to pay and other obligations. Seller can demand that Buyer informs him of the assigned claims and their debtors, that he provides all details necessary for collecting the claim and hands over the relevant documentation, in particular Client materials orders, copies of order confirmations, copies of invoices, and that Buyer informs his debtors of the assignment to TeqFind by XDS B.V.
8. Any processing or modifications of reserved goods is always undertaken by Buyer on behalf of Seller. If the reserved item is processed together with items exclusively owned by Buyer or with items in respect of which no prolonged retention of title exists, then Seller shall be entitled to the sole ownership of the new item. If the reserved item is processed with other items not belonging to Seller, then Seller is entitled to part-ownership of the new item in a ratio of the value of the reserved item to the other processed item(s) at the time of processing.
9. If the value of the existing securities exceeds the demands to be secured by more than 15%, Seller is obliged to release the item on demand of Buyer.
