The Client shall use its best endeavours to keep the Goods free from distress, execution or any other legal process levied against the Client, its agent or any other person and shall immediately inform the Olive 3 in the event that any distress, execution or any other legal process is or may be levied or attempted to be levied against the Goods.

Where the Goods are situated on the premises of a third party, the Client shall use reasonable efforts to secure access to such premises so that the Olive 3 may lawfully enter therein and repossess the Goods. On making such demand, the rights of the Client to resell or use the Goods under Clause 8.4 shall cease immediately.
