Section 7-2-401 Passing of title; reservation for security; limited application of this section.
Each provision of this article with regard to the rights, obligations and remedies of the
seller, the buyer, purchasers or other third parties applies irrespective of title to the
goods except where the provision refers to such title. Insofar as situations are not covered
by the other provisions of this article and matters concerning title become material the following
rules apply: (1) Title to goods cannot pass under a contract for sale prior to their identification
to the contract (Section 7-2-501), and unless otherwise explicitly agreed the buyer acquires
by their identification a special property as limited by this title. Any retention or reservation
by the seller of the title (property) in goods shipped or delivered to the buyer is limited
in effect to a reservation of a security interest. Subject to these provisions and to the
provisions of the article on secured transactions (Article...

the seller to ship the goods by carrier: (a) If it does not require him to deliver them at
a particular destination, the risk of loss passes to the buyer when the goods are duly delivered

Section 7-2-503 Manner of seller's tender of delivery. (1) Tender of delivery requires that
the seller put and hold conforming goods at the buyer's disposition and give the buyer any
notification reasonably necessary to enable him to take delivery. The manner, time and place
for tender are determined by the agreement and this article, and in particular: (a) Tender
must be at a reasonable hour, and if it is of goods they must be kept available for the period
reasonably necessary to enable the buyer to take possession; but (b) Unless otherwise agreed
the buyer must furnish facilities reasonably suited to the receipt of the goods. (2) Where

7-2-505
Section 7-2-505 Seller's shipment under reservation. (1) Where the seller has identified goods
to the contract by or before shipment: (a) His procurement of a negotiable bill of lading
to his own order or otherwise reserves in him a security interest in the goods. His procurement
of the bill to the order of a financing agency or of the buyer indicates in addition only
the seller's expectation of transferring that interest to the person named. (b) A nonnegotiable
bill of lading to himself or his nominee reserves possession of the goods as security but
except in a case of conditional delivery (subsection (2) of Section 7-2-507) a nonnegotiable
bill of lading naming the buyer as consignee reserves no security interest even though the
seller retains possession or control of the bill of lading. (2) When shipment by the seller
with reservation of a security interest is in violation of the contract for sale, it constitutes
an improper contract for transportation within Section 7-2-504, but...
