- You will not grant a security interest in the goods to any other party until you have paid Rcreate in full for the goods.
- You will notify Rcreate immediately in writing if you change your name, address, or other relevant details.
- You agree that the goods are not acquired for personal, domestic, or household use.
These provisions are intended to protect Rcreate's security interest in goods supplied to you until payment is received in full. You should seek independent legal advice regarding the implications of these PPSA provisions.
