relevant instruction related to the supply of the Goods.

Business Day following the day on which the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods

dispose of part or all of the Goods.

the Order invoice on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was
delivered.

events listed in clause 0 to clause 0, or the Supplier reasonably believes that any such event is
about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, then, provided the Goods have not been
resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or
remedy the Supplier may have, the Supplier may at any time require the Customer to deliver up the
Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any
third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
