4.3.2 shall pay for the whole of the invoiced value of the Goods notwithstanding the staggered deliveries.
4.3.3 Such action shall be deemed to be delivery to the Customer.
4.4 The Customer is deemed to accept delivery of the Goods where it is either delivered to the Customer's premises or when Artique notifies the Customer that the Goods are available for collection.
4.5 If the Customer is unable or fails to accept delivery of the Goods, Artique may deliver it to a place of storage nominated by the Customer and, failing such nomination, to a place determined by Artique. Such action shall be deemed to be delivery to the Customer. The Customer shall be liable for all cost, charge and expense incurred by Artique on account of storage, detention, double cartage/delivery or similar causes.
5.1 Until full payment has been made for all Goods, and any other sums in any way outstanding from the Customer to Artique from time to time:-

5.1.4 In the event that the Customer incorporates or transforms the Goods (or any portion of them) into any other goods or products produced by the Customer (or a third party), then the Customer must hold a proportion of any payment ("relevant proportion") received by the Customer for such goods or products on trust for Artique. The Customer expressly acknowledges that the relevant proportion shall be equal to the dollar value of the Goods incorporated or transformed and the Customer further acknowledges that any part payment (not exceeding the relevant proportion) received by the Customer for such goods or products is received as payment first of the relevant proportion.

Any order that cannot be fulfilled on its receipt will automatically be back ordered and processed when stock becomes available unless it is the Customer's stated standard policy not to accept back orders or the Customer specifically marks its order, "Do Not Back Order".
