Until the purchase price has been paid in full the Purchaser irrevocably authorises the Gallery and its agents and employees the right and licence to enter any premises or site where it is believed that the works may be and to remove the works without in any way being liable to the Purchaser and the Purchaser will indemnify the Gallery in respect of any claim arising from proper exercise of this right and licence.
