assist you with arranging this; or

(b) If you have not paid the full purchase price or if you do not attend to the matters in (a), rescind these Terms for sale of the Products by notice to you and treat your failure to accept delivery on the above terms as your

cancellation of the original order. In these circumstances, you:

(i) agree to forfeit the deposit paid or, if the Products are clearance stock items, the full price of the Products;

(ii) will have no further claim to the Products; and

(iii) Resourceful Living may (at its discretion) agree to sell the Products to you at a later date for the full purchase price without any discount for the deposit forfeited.
