Notwithstanding delivery and the passage of risk and whether or not credit is extended for any Product purchase, the following shall apply:
3.1.1.
If the applicable law (as determined according to Section 16 below) so permits, property in and title to Products shall remain with Solidscape, and shall not pass to Customer, until Solidscape has received payment of the full price and license fees (if applicable) for (a) all Products, Software and/or Services that are the subject of these Terms, and (b) all other goods and/or services supplied by Solidscape to Customer under any contract whatsoever. Payment of the full price and license fees shall include without limitation, the amount of any interest or other sum payable under the terms of this and all other contracts between Solidscape and Customer. Moreover, Customer shall keep the Products identified as retained until such retention lapses.

Customer will notify Solidscape in writing within ten (10) calendar days following the date of delivery of any alleged Product defect or other Purchase Order discrepancies, and the Products and licensed Software shall be deemed to be accepted in the quantity specified on the bill of lading or commercial invoice and in good condition, and such acceptance will operate as a bar to claims against Solidscape, if no such notice is received.
4. INSTALLATION.
Products that do not require installation by Solidscape may be installed by Customer and used at any time following delivery. Solidscape (or its authorized technical representative) will install those Products (including Software) or Parts designated as requiring installation by Solidscape or its authorized technical representative (such Products or Parts, “Solidscape Installed Products/Parts”), at Customer’s designated facility following receipt of all applicable payments related thereto. Prior to such installation, Customer, at its expense, shall complete all applicable Product site preparations for installation, as specified by applicable Product documentation and as required by applicable law, including, without limitation, all health and safety laws, and shall thereafter provide such other assistance, services and facilities as may be requested by Solidscape (or its authorized technical representative) to complete such installation.
