Section 7-2-504 Shipment by seller. Where the seller is required or authorized to send the
goods to the buyer and the contract does not require him to deliver them at a particular destination,
then unless otherwise agreed he must: (a) Put the goods in the possession of such a carrier
and make such a contract for their transportation as may be reasonable having regard to the
nature of the goods and other circumstances of the case; and (b) Obtain and promptly deliver
or tender in due form any document necessary to enable the buyer to obtain possession of the
goods or otherwise required by the agreement or by usage of trade; and (c) Promptly notify
the buyer of the shipment. Failure to notify the buyer under paragraph (c) or to make a proper
contract under paragraph (a) is a ground for rejection only if material delay or loss ensues.

Section 7-2-614 Substituted performance. (1) Where without fault of either party the agreed
berthing, loading, or unloading facilities fail or an agreed type of carrier becomes unavailable
or the agreed manner of delivery otherwise becomes commercially impracticable but a commercially
reasonable substitute is available, such substitute performance must be tendered and accepted.
(2) If the agreed means or manner of payment fails because of domestic or foreign governmental
regulation, the seller may withhold or stop delivery unless the buyer provides a means or
manner of payment which is commercially a substantial equivalent. If delivery has already
been taken, payment by the means or in the manner provided by the regulation discharges the
buyer's obligation unless the regulation is discriminatory, oppressive or predatory. (Acts
1965, No. 549, p. 811.)...

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...

means "free on board") at a named place, even though used only in connection with
the stated price, is a delivery term under which: (a) When the term is F.O.B. the place of
shipment, the seller must at that place ship the goods in the manner provided in this article
(Section 7-2-504) and bear the expense and risk of putting them into the possession of the

Section 7-2-506 Rights of financing agency. (1) A financing agency by paying or purchasing
for value a draft which relates to a shipment of goods acquires to the extent of the payment
or purchase and in addition to its own rights under the draft and any document of title securing
it any rights of the shipper in the goods including the right to stop delivery and the shipper's
right to have the draft honored by the buyer. (2) The right to reimbursement of a financing
agency which has in good faith honored or purchased the draft under commitment to or authority
from the buyer is not impaired by subsequent discovery of defects with reference to any relevant
document which was apparently regular. (Acts 1965, No. 549, p. 811; Act 2004-315, p. 464,

Section 7-2A-219 Risk of loss. (1) Except in the case of a finance lease, risk of loss is retained
by the lessor and does not pass to the lessee. In the case of a finance lease, risk of loss
passes to the lessee. (2) Subject to the provisions of this article on the effect of default
on risk of loss (Section 7-2A-220), if risk of loss is to pass to the lessee and the time
of passage is not stated, the following rules apply: (a) If the lease contract requires or
authorizes the goods to be shipped by carrier (i) and it does not require delivery at a particular
destination, the risk of loss passes to the lessee when the goods are duly delivered to the
carrier; but (ii) if it does require delivery at a particular destination and the goods are
there duly tendered while in the possession of the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the
lessee when the goods are there duly so tendered as to enable the lessee to take delivery.
(b) If the goods are held by a bailee to be delivered without being...

Section 7-2-322 Delivery "ex-ship". (1) Unless otherwise agreed a term for delivery
of goods "ex-ship" (which means from the carrying vessel) or in equivalent language
is not restricted to a particular ship and requires delivery from a ship which has reached
a place at the named port of destination where goods of the kind are usually discharged. (2)
Under such a term unless otherwise agreed: (a) The seller must discharge all liens arising
out of the carriage and furnish the buyer with a direction which puts the carrier under a
duty to deliver the goods; and (b) The risk of loss does not pass to the buyer until the goods
leave the ship's tackle or are otherwise properly unloaded. (Acts 1965, No. 549, p. 811.)...

port for shipment and obtain a negotiable bill or bills of lading covering the entire transportation
to the named destination; and (b) Load the goods and obtain a receipt from the carrier (which

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...
