11. The property in goods shall not pass to the Purchaser unless and until the Company has received full payment for the goods: and the Purchaser shall ensure that all goods which remain the property of the Company shall be kept separate from the property of the Purchaser and of any other person and shall be identified as the property of the Company, and shall, if at any time the Purchaser is in breach of any of the terms of the sale agreement, be returned to the Company on demand, at the expense of the Purchaser.
