the substantia deterioration of the customer's financial circumstances. In this case, the seller is hereby authorised by the customer to inform the buyers of the assignment and to collect the claims themselves.
9. 7. If the invoice value of the security existing for the seller exceeds the seller's claims (including any ancillary claims e.g. interest, costs) by more than 20% in total, the seller shall be obliged, at the request of the buyer or of a third party impaired by the seller's over-collateralisation, to release collateral at the seller's discretion.
