Terms and Conditions enable you to enforce your rights with suppliers and/or customers with retention of title and PPSR
Retention of Title
and Securing Your Property (PPSR)
A retention of title clause (also called a Romalpa clause) is a provision in your Terms and Conditions stating that the title to the goods remains vested in you until you have been fully paid by the customer.
However, this retention of title clause by itself is not effective if your security interest has not been registered on the Personal Property Security Register (PPSR). Personal Property is anything that is not Real Property (Land).
So what do you need to have in place to secure your property?
- You need a correctly drafted retention of title clause that allows you to recover your goods sold if not fully paid for.
- You need to make your customer aware of this clause before entering into a contract.
- You need a correctly drafted Personal Property Security Act (PPSA) clause that allows you to register your security interest in the goods sold.
- And to make sure that you register your security interest on the PPSR within the acceptable time frame.
We can assist you with PPSA training or we can register your security interests on the PPSR for you. This will effectively secure the goods you have sold until you are fully paid by your customer.
