Any provision in a hire-purchase or conditional sale agreement shall be void to the extent that it provides that-

(a) an owner or seller or any person acting on his behalf is authorized to enter upon any private land or premises for the purpose of taking possession of goods which have been let under a hire-purchase agreement or sold under a conditional sale agreement or is relieved from liability for such an entry; or

(b) the right conferred on a hirer by section 5 to terminate the hire-purchase agreement is excluded or restricted, or any liability beyond that imposed by section 6 is imposed on a hirer by reason of the termination of the hire-purchase agreement by him or under that section; or

(c) a hirer, after the termination of the hire-purchase agreement or the bailment in any manner whatsoever, is subject to a liability which exceeds the liability to which he would have been subject if the agreement had been terminated by him under this Decree; or

(d) any person acting on behalf of an owner or seller in connection with a hire-purchase or conditional sale agreement is treated as or deemed to be the agent of the hirer or buyer; or

(e) an owner or seller is relieved from liability for the acts or defaults of any person acting on his behalf in connection with a hire-purchase or conditional sale agreement.
