In situations that are not covered by the other provisions of this article and matters concerning title become material, the following rules apply:

(a) Title to goods cannot pass under a contract for sale before their identification to the contract under section 2501, and unless otherwise explicitly agreed the buyer acquires by their identification a special property as limited by this act. 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 article 9, title to goods passes from the seller to the buyer in any manner and on any conditions explicitly agreed on by the parties.

In particular and despite any reservation of a security interest by the bill of lading, both of the following apply:

( i ) Unless subparagraph ( ii ) applies, if the contract requires or authorizes the seller to send the goods to the buyer but does not require the seller to deliver them at destination, title passes to the buyer at the time and place of shipment.

(c) Unless otherwise explicitly agreed where delivery is to be made without moving the goods, 1 of the following applies:

( i ) If the seller is to deliver a tangible document of title, title passes at the time when and the place where the seller delivers the document of title.

( ii ) If the seller is to deliver an electronic document of title, title passes when the seller delivers the document.

( iii ) If the goods are at the time of contracting already identified and no documents of title are to be delivered, title passes at the time and place of contracting.

(d) A rejection or other refusal by the buyer to receive or retain the goods, whether or not justified, or a justified revocation of acceptance revests title to the goods in the seller. Revesting of title under this subdivision occurs by operation of law and is not a "sale".
