8. Insolvency.
a) If, in the opinion of the Company, the customer shall be unable, or is likely to become unable, to pay the amounts it owes to the Company, the Company shall (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may possess) be entitled to demand security prior to supplying any goods or carrying out any work, either in the form of pre-payment, or a bank guarantee of payment.
