Superior Networks;
(c) the Customer must keep the goods separate from its goods and
maintain the labelling and packaging of the goods; the Customer is
required to hold the proceeds of any sale of the goods on trust for
Superior Networks in a separate account however failure to do so will
not affect the Customer's obligation to deal with the proceeds as
trustee;
(d) Superior Networks may without notice, enter any premises where it
suspects the goods may be and remove them, notwithstanding that they
may have been attached to other goods not the property of Superior
