(2) Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies to which the assignee may be entitled, the assignee shall, subject to any agreement with the owner, be entitled to be indemnified by the owner against any damage suffered by the assignee by reason of—
(a) the liability of the assignee to the hirer either in respect of a breach of a term implied in the hire-purchase agreement pursuant to this Act;
(b) the exercise by the hirer of any right to rescind the hire-purchase agreement; or
(c) any relief granted by the Court, unless the relief was granted in respect of an act or omission of the assignee.

(4) An assignment of the rights of the owner under a hire-purchase agreement shall not affect any right of the hirer to rescind the hire-purchase agreement or to recover damages from the person who disposed of the goods under the hire-purchase agreement or the dealer or any person who acted on behalf of either or both of them.
