2021 Missouri Revised Statutes|Title XXVI - Trade and Commerce|Chapter 400 - Uniform Commercial Code|Section 400.2-501 - Insurable interest in goods — manner of identification of goods.

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-501. Insurable interest in goods — manner of identification of goods. — (1) The buyer obtains a special property and an insurable interest in goods by identification of existing goods as goods to which the contract refers even though the goods so identified are nonconforming and he has an option to return or reject them. Such identification can be made at any time and in any manner explicitly agreed to by the parties. In the absence of explicit agreement identification occurs  (a) when the contract is made if it is for the sale of goods already existing and identified;  (b) if the contract is for the sale of future goods other than those described in paragraph (c), when goods are shipped, marked or otherwise designated by the seller as goods to which the contract refers;  (c) when the crops are planted or otherwise become growing crops or the young are conceived if the contract is for the sale of unborn young to be born within twelve months after contracting or for the sale of crops to be harvested within twelve months or the next normal harvest season after contracting whichever is longer.  (2) The seller retains an insurable interest in goods so long as title to or any security interest in the goods remains in him and where the identification is by the seller alone he may until default or insolvency or notification to the buyer that the identification is final substitute other goods for those identified.  (3) Nothing in this section impairs any insurable interest recognized under any other statute or rule of law. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-501)

Effective - 01 Jul 2001   400.2-502. Buyer's right to goods on seller's repudiation, failure to deliver, or insolvency. — (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3) of this section and even though the goods have not been shipped, a buyer who has paid a part or all of the price of goods in which he or she has a special property under the provisions of section 400.2-501 may on making and keeping good a tender of any unpaid portion of their price recover them from the seller if:  (a) in the case of goods bought for personal, family or household purposes, the seller repudiates or fails to deliver as required by the contract; or  (b) in all cases, the seller becomes insolvent within ten days after receipt of the first installment on their price.  (2) The buyer's right to recover the goods under subdivision (a) of this section vests upon acquisition of a special property, even if the seller had not then repudiated or failed to deliver.  (3) If the identification creating his or her special property has been made by the buyer he or she acquires the right to recover the goods only if they conform to the contract for sale. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-502, A.L. 2001 S.B. 288)  Effective 7-01-01

2021 Missouri Revised Statutes|Title XXVI - Trade and Commerce|Chapter 400 - Uniform Commercial Code|Section 400.2-503 - Manner of seller's tender of delivery.

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-503. 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 the case is within the next section respecting shipment tender requires that the seller comply with its provisions.  (3) Where the seller is required to deliver at a particular destination tender requires that he comply with subsection (1) and also in any appropriate case tender documents as described in subsections (4) and (5) of this section.  (4) Where goods are in the possession of a bailee and are to be delivered without being moved  (a) tender requires that the seller either tender a negotiable document of title covering such goods or procure acknowledgment by the bailee of the buyer's right to possession of the goods; but  (b) tender to the buyer of a nonnegotiable document of title or of a written direction to the bailee to deliver is sufficient tender unless the buyer seasonably objects, and receipt by the bailee of notification of the buyer's rights fixes those rights as against the bailee and all third persons; but risk of loss of the goods and of any failure by the bailee to honor the nonnegotiable document of title or to obey the direction remains on the seller until the buyer has had a reasonable time to present the document or direction, and a refusal by the bailee to honor the document or to obey the direction defeats the tender.  (5) Where the contract requires the seller to deliver documents  (a) he must tender all such documents in correct form, except as provided in this article with respect to bills of lading in a set (subsection (2) of section 400.2-323); and  (b) tender through customary banking channels is sufficient and dishonor of a draft accompanying the documents constitutes nonacceptance or rejection. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-503)

2021 Missouri Revised Statutes|Title XXVI - Trade and Commerce|Chapter 400 - Uniform Commercial Code|Section 400.2-504 - Shipment by seller.

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-504. 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. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-504)

2021 Missouri Revised Statutes|Title XXVI - Trade and Commerce|Chapter 400 - Uniform Commercial Code|Section 400.2-505 - Seller's shipment under reservation.

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-505. 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 400.2-507) a nonnegotiable bill of lading naming the buyer as consignee reserves no security interest even though the seller retains possession 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 400.2-504 but impairs neither the rights given to the buyer by shipment and identification of the goods to the contract nor the seller's powers as a holder of a negotiable document. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-505)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-506. 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 on its face. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-506)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-507. Effect of seller's tender — delivery on condition. — (1) Tender of delivery is a condition to the buyer's duty to accept the goods and, unless otherwise agreed, to his duty to pay for them. Tender entitles the seller to acceptance of the goods and to payment according to the contract.  (2) Where payment is due and demanded on the delivery to the buyer of goods or documents of title, his right as against the seller to retain or dispose of them is conditional upon his making the payment due. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-507)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-508. Cure by seller of improper tender or delivery — replacement. — (1) When any tender or delivery by the seller is rejected because nonconforming and the time for performance has not yet expired, the seller may seasonably notify the buyer of his intention to cure and may then within the contract time make a conforming delivery.  (2) Where the buyer rejects a nonconforming tender which the seller had reasonable grounds to believe would be acceptable with or without money allowance the seller may if he seasonably notifies the buyer have a further reasonable time to substitute a conforming tender. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-508)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-509. Risk of loss in the absence of breach. — (1) Where the contract requires or authorizes the seller to ship the goods by carrier  (a) if he 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 to the carrier even though the shipment is under reservation (section 400.2-505); but  (b) if it does require him to deliver them 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 buyer when the goods are there duly so tendered as to enable the buyer to take delivery.  (2) Where the goods are held by a bailee to be delivered without being moved, the risk of loss passes to the buyer  (a) on his receipt of a negotiable document of title covering the goods; or  (b) on acknowledgment by the bailee of the buyer's right to possession of the goods; or  (c) after his receipt of a nonnegotiable document of title or other written direction to deliver, as provided in subsection (4)(b) of section 400.2-503.  (3) In any case not within subsection (1) or (2), the risk of loss passes to the buyer on his receipt of the goods if the seller is a merchant; otherwise the risk passes to the buyer on tender of delivery.  (4) The provisions of this section are subject to contrary agreement of the parties and to the provisions of this article on sale on approval (section 400.2-327) and on effect of breach on risk of loss (section 400.2-510). ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-509)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-510. Effect of breach on risk of loss. — (1) Where a tender or delivery of goods so fails to conform to the contract as to give a right of rejection the risk of their loss remains on the seller until cure or acceptance.  (2) Where the buyer rightfully revokes acceptance he may to the extent of any deficiency in his effective insurance coverage treat the risk of loss as having rested on the seller from the beginning.  (3) Where the buyer as to conforming goods already identified to the contract for sale repudiates or is otherwise in breach before risk of their loss has passed to him, the seller may to the extent of any deficiency in his effective insurance coverage treat the risk of loss as resting on the buyer for a commercially reasonable time. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-510)

(3) Subject to the provisions of this chapter on the effect of an instrument on an obligation (section 400.3-310), payment by check is conditional and is defeated as between the parties by dishonor of the check on due presentment. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-511, A.L. 1992 S.B. 448)

Effective - 28 Aug 1997   400.2-512. Payment by buyer before inspection. — (1) Where the contract requires payment before inspection nonconformity of the goods does not excuse the buyer from so making payment unless  (a) the nonconformity appears without inspection; or  (b) despite tender of the required documents the circumstances would justify injunction against honor under the provisions of this chapter (section 400.5-109(b)).  (2) Payment pursuant to subsection (1) does not constitute an acceptance of goods or impair the buyer's right to inspect or any of his remedies. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-512, A.L. 1997 S.B. 6)

(2) Expenses of inspection must be borne by the buyer but may be recovered from the seller if the goods do not conform and are rejected.  (3) Unless otherwise agreed and subject to the provisions of this article on C.I.F. contracts (subsection (3) of section 400.2-321), the buyer is not entitled to inspect the goods before payment of the price when the contract provides  (a) for delivery "C.O.D." or on other like terms; or  (b) for payment against documents of title, except where such payment is due only after the goods are to become available for inspection.  (4) A place or method of inspection fixed by the parties is presumed to be exclusive but unless otherwise expressly agreed it does not postpone identification or shift the place for delivery or for passing the risk of loss. If compliance becomes impossible, inspection shall be as provided in this section unless the place or method fixed was clearly intended as an indispensable condition failure of which avoids the contract. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-513)

Instructions are not reasonable if on demand indemnity for expenses is not forthcoming.  (2) When the buyer sells goods under subsection (1), he is entitled to reimbursement from the seller or out of the proceeds for reasonable expenses of caring for and selling them, and if the expenses include no selling commission then to such commission as is usual in the trade or if there is none to a reasonable sum not exceeding ten percent on the gross proceeds.
