Dutch term or phrase: eigendomsvoorbehoud heeft ingeroepen

Eigendomsvoorbehoud
Nadat verkoper het eigendomsvoorbehoud heeft ingeroepen, mag verkoper de geleverde zaken terughalen. Koper staat verkoper toe de plaats te betreden waar deze zaken zich bevinden.

I know exactly what this MEANS but do not know how to translate "het eignendomsvoorbehoud heeft ingeroepen" because I don't know how this is worded in English contracts.

I have searched the internet for ages but can't find any contracts that include the bit about when the seller decides to enforce this retention of title right/clause. I've searched under "invoke (a/the/its/his) retention of title", "rely on/upon / refer to (a/the/its/his) retention of title" because these are the words given in Juridisch Lexicon for "inroepen" but there are hardly any hits so this can't be how it is worded in English.

Can anyone tell me how to translate "Nadat verkoper het eigendomsvoorbehoud heeft ingeroepen"?
After the Seller has xxxxxx retention of title..

Any help greatly appreciated as I've already wasted far too much time on this short phrase.

writeaway: I got as far as claim/invoke reservation of title/I'm pleased I got that close to an acceptable answer ;-)/often perhaps; always is like never. absolutes don't exist imho.

-> reservation of title is also fine but I'm just used to reservation of ownership which is closer to the DU anyway....have a good day!!//you always end up spot on...;-)//true but close enough in your case!

xxxjarry: My preference would be 'retention' rather than 'reservation', but I'm not a lawyer :-)

\'After the seller has exercised his right to retention of title\', would be my translation of \"Nadat verkoper het eigendomsvoorbehoud heeft ingeroepen\"

In order to successfully enforce a retention of title clause a seller must ensure:
- that the ROT clause is properly drafted;
- that it forms part of the contract between the seller and the buyer; and
- the goods that are the subject matter of the claim are identifiable.

From the above it would seem that \'enforce a retention of title clause\' would be better than \'invoke ...\'
