Where APOL’s consent is not granted in respect of a third-party installation, any warranty offered pertaining to the Products will be void.

(a) the Client has paid APOL all amounts owing to APOL; and
(b) the Client has met all of its other obligations to APOL.

(a) the Client is only a bailee of the Products and must return the Products to APOL on request.
