If any information that the Company holds is inaccurate, incomplete or not up to date the Customer may make a request to the Company to correct that information.

11 Security Interest
(a) These Terms create, in favour of the Company, a security interest in all goods that have, or in the future will be,supplied by the Company under these Terms.
(b) The Company’s interest in the goods continues if the goods are processed, included or dealt with in any way causing them to become accessions, processed or commingled goods (as defined in the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (the PPSA)).
