8. BREACH BY THE BUYER
If you fail to pay the purchase price in full (or if we agree with you payment by set instalments and you fail to pay any one or more instalment) by the due date, or if prior to you paying the purchase price in full you fail to comply with the obligations set out in clauses 6 and 7 above, or otherwise do or fail to do anything which may in any way imperil our ownership of the goods or the goods itself, we are entitled (without prejudice to our other rights and remedies at law) to either:

10. RESCISSION
We will have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind a sale without notice to you, where an adverse claim is made by a third party, including but not limited to, someone claiming ownership of the goods. Upon notice of our election to rescind the sale, you will promptly return the goods to us. We will then refund the price and any amount paid to us.
