possession of the Goods other than in the ordinary course of

proceeds of any such act on trust for the Supplier and must pay or
deliver the proceeds to the Supplier on demand;
(d) the Customer should not convert or process the Goods or intermix
them with other goods but if the Customer does so then the

premises where the Supplier believes the Goods are kept and
