Only the resale within the scope of proper business routine is permitted. If the purchaser sells the goods, he already at that time cedes his purchase price claim against the second purchaser to us in full until repayment. We are entitled to claim all information and documents we need for the collection.
§ In commercial trade, the purchaser is obliged to insure the conditional commodity for the duration of the reservation of propriety rights against fire, water, theft and burglary. All rights from this insurance are ceded to us. We accept this cession.
