(2) The customer is entitled to resell the goods subject to retention of title in the ordinary course of business. In this case, however, the customer already now assigns to plus H all claims arising from such a resale in the amount of the invoice value of plus H’s claim, regardless of whether such resale takes place before or after a possible processing of the goods delivered under retention of title.
(3) Irrespective of the authority of plus H to collect the claim itself, the customer shall remain authorized to collect the claim even after the assignment.

§ 9 Terms of payment
