8.3.3 	affix a label to the Goods stating clearly that “This is the sole beneficial property of ITC Global Security Ltd Tel: 0207 5173900” and shall not destroy, deface or obscure any such label or other identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; and
8.3.4	maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured on the Company's behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. On request the Customer shall produce the policy of insurance to the Company and if the Customer is unable to provide such policy of insurance on demand the Company shall be entitled, but not required, to insure the Goods and the Customer hereby indemnifies and holds the Company indemnified in full for the cost of such policy including all premiums and other related costs.
