subcontractors appointed to remove the Goods shall obtain, adequate insurance (including,
without limitation, public liability insurance and employer’s liability insurance) in respect of
the removal of the Goods and will provide evidence of all such insurance cover to JOHN PYE
& SONS before removal of the Goods commences. JOHN PYE & SONS reserves the right to

place prior to removal commencing.
15 November 2024 10 1LB-53036470-1

the Seller) each reserve the right to require the Buyer to pay a non-refundable damage
deposit of such sum as JOHN PYE & SONS, the Seller and/or the Premises’ owner (as
applicable) considers (in its absolute discretion) reasonable in respect of any damage that is
likely to be caused to the Premises or to any property in the Premises, by the removal of the
Goods (“Damage Deposit”). If the Buyer refuses to pay any such Damage Deposit, JOHN PYE
& SONS, the Seller and/or the Premises owner (as applicable) shall be entitled to refuse to
allow the Buyer to remove the Goods and the Buyer shall be deemed to be in default under
clause 14.

apply the Damage Deposit against the cost of repairing any damage caused to the Premises
or to any property or person by the removal of the Goods. If the Damage Deposit is

& SONS reserves the right to pursue the Buyer for any shortfall.

and all liabilities, costs, claims, expenses, damages and losses (including but not limited to

penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and any and all other
professional costs and expenses) suffered, incurred or paid by JOHN PYE & SONS and/or the
Seller arising out of or in connection with the removal of or failure to remove the Goods by
the Buyer, its representatives, agents, or contractors, including in respect of any damage to
property, death or personal injury.

accordance with this clause 12.

times for collection and delivery of the Goods are approximate only and the time of delivery
is not of the essence.
