16.1.4.1 However, until such time as this appears in the User's Account or until full payment of the instruction is received, whichever occurs last, Phi Wallet retains the reservation of ownership of the Gold in question.
16.1.5 This means that the User, as holder of the tokens, owns all economic value of the gold represented by his/her tokens, and all risk and reward related to the ownership of this gold.
16.1.6 Subject also to Clause 16.2., the fact that the physical gold is stored at Phi Wallet's request with a storage provider does not imply a transfer of ownership to such storage provider, which means that the User will continue to own the Purchased and Allocated Gold, provided that the above requirements are met.
16.1.7 Phi Wallet undertakes to promptly pay, on behalf of the User, upon proper collection of the amounts in the User's Wallet, all storage fees where/when due.

16.2.7 Storage fees will be charged in accordance with Clause 19.
