The customer is not entitled to other dispositions (assignment by way of security, pledges, etc.) over the reserved goods. The claims arising from the resale or for other legal reasons (insurance services, claims from tort, etc.) (including all balance claims from current account) are hereby assigned by the customer to perfecdos by way of security (insofar as perfecdos is only entitled to co-ownership of the reserved goods: pro rata in the amount of the co-ownership share). perfecdos accepts the assignment. The customer is revocably authorized to collect the claims. perfecdos is entitled to revoke the authorization if the customer does not meet his payment obligations.

Further claims, in particular for damages, remain unaffected.
