AK Stat § 45.02.315 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.315. Implied warranty: Fitness for particular purpose.

If the seller at the time of contracting has reason to know a particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is, unless excluded or modified under AS 45.02.316, an implied warranty that the goods shall be fit for that purpose.
AK Stat § 45.02.316 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.316. Exclusion or modification of warranties.

(a) Words or conduct relevant to the creation of an express warranty and words or conduct tending to negate or limit warranty shall be construed where reasonable as consistent with each other; but, subject to the provisions on parol or extrinsic evidence (AS 45.02.202), negation or limitation is inoperative to the extent that such construction is unreasonable. (b) Subject to (c) of this section, to exclude or modify the implied warranty of merchantability or any part of it the language must mention merchantability and in case of a writing must be conspicuous, and to exclude or modify an implied warranty of fitness the exclusion must be by a writing and conspicuous. Language to exclude all implied warranties of fitness is sufficient if it states, for example, that “There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face of this instrument.” (c) Notwithstanding (b) of this section, (1) unless the circumstances indicate otherwise, all implied warranties are excluded by expressions like “as is,” “with all faults,” or other language that in common understanding calls the buyer's attention to the exclusion of warranties and makes plain that there is no implied warranty; and (2) when the buyer, before entering into the contract, has examined the goods or the sample or model as fully as the buyer desired or has refused to examine the goods, there is no implied warranty with regard to defects that an examination ought in the circumstances to have revealed to the buyer; and (3) an implied warranty can also be excluded or modified by course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade. (d) Remedies for breach of warranty can be limited in accordance with the provisions on liquidation or limitation of damages and on contractual modification of remedy (AS 45.02.718 and 45.02.719). (e) Implied warranties of merchantability and fitness are not applicable to a contract for the sale of human blood, blood plasma or other human tissue or organs from a blood bank or reservoir of tissue or organs. The blood, blood plasma, tissue, or organs may not, for the purposes of this chapter, be considered commodities subject to sale or barter, but shall be considered medical services.
AK Stat § 45.02.317 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.317. Cumulation and conflict of warranties express or implied.

Warranties whether express or implied shall be construed as consistent with each other and as cumulative, but if that construction is unreasonable the intention of the parties determines which warranty is dominant. In ascertaining that intention the following rules apply: (1) exact or technical specifications displace an inconsistent sample or model or general language of description; (2) a sample from an existing bulk displaces inconsistent general language of description; (3) an express warranty displaces an inconsistent implied warranty other than an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
AK Stat § 45.02.318 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.318. Third-party beneficiaries of warranties express or implied.

A seller's warranty whether express or implied extends to a natural person who is in the family or household of the buyer or who is a guest in the buyer's home if it is reasonable to expect that the person may use, consume, or be affected by the goods and who is injured in person by breach of the warranty. A seller may not exclude or limit the operation of this section.
AK Stat § 45.02.319 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.319. F.O.B. and F.A.S. terms.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed, the term F.O.B., which means “free on board”, at a named place, even though used only in connection with the stated price, is a delivery term under which, (1) 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 AS 45.02.504 and bear the expense and risk of putting them into the possession of the carrier; or (2) when the term is F.O.B. the place of destination, the seller must, at the expense and risk of the seller, transport the goods to that place and there tender delivery of them in the manner provided in AS 45.02.503; (3) when under either (1) or (2) of this subsection the term is also F.O.B. vessel, car, or other vehicle, the seller must in addition, at the expense and risk of the seller, load the goods on board; if the term is F.O.B. vessel, the buyer must name the vessel and in an appropriate case the seller must comply with the provisions on the form of bill of lading (AS 45.02.323). (b) Unless otherwise agreed, the term F.A.S. vessel (which means “free alongside”) at a named port, even though used only in connection with the stated price, is a delivery term under which the seller must (1) at the expense and risk of the seller deliver the goods alongside the vessel in the manner usual in that port or on a dock designated and provided by the buyer; and (2) obtain and tender a receipt for the goods in exchange for which the carrier is under a duty to issue a bill of lading. (c) Unless otherwise agreed, in a case falling within (a)(1) or (3) or (b) of this section, the buyer must seasonably give needed instructions for making delivery, including when the term is F.A.S. or F.O.B. the loading berth of the vessel and in an appropriate case its name and sailing date. The seller may treat the failure of needed instructions as a failure of cooperation under AS 45.02.311. The seller also has the option to move the goods in a reasonable manner preparatory to delivery or shipment. (d) Under the term F.O.B. vessel or F.A.S., unless otherwise agreed, the buyer must make payment against tender of the required documents and the seller may not tender or the buyer demand delivery of the goods in substitution for the documents.
AK Stat § 45.02.320 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.320. C.I.F. and C. & F. terms.

(a) The term C.I.F. means that the price includes in a lump sum the cost of the goods and the insurance and freight to the named destination. The term C. & F. or C.F. means that the price so includes cost and freight to the named destination. (b) Unless otherwise agreed and even though used only in connection with the stated price and destination, the term C.I.F. destination or its equivalent requires the seller at the expense and risk of the seller to (1) put the goods into the possession of a carrier at the port for shipment and obtain a negotiable bill or bills of lading covering the entire transportation to the named destination; and (2) load the goods and obtain a receipt from the carrier, which may be contained in the bill of lading, showing that the freight has been paid or provided for; and (3) obtain a policy or certificate of insurance, including war risk insurance, of a kind and on terms then current at the port of shipment in the usual amount, in the currency of the contract, shown to cover the same goods covered by the bill of lading and providing for payment of loss to the order of the buyer or for the account of whom it may concern; but the seller may add to the price the amount of the premium for war risk insurance; and (4) prepare an invoice of the goods and procure any other documents required to effect shipment or to comply with the contract; and (5) forward and tender with commercial promptness all the documents in due form and with the endorsement necessary to perfect the buyer's rights. (c) Unless otherwise agreed, the term C. & F. or its equivalent has the same effect and imposes upon the seller the same obligations and risks as a C.I.F. term except the obligation as to insurance. (d) Under the term C.I.F. or C. & F., unless otherwise agreed, the buyer must make payment against tender of the required documents and the seller may not tender or the buyer demand delivery of the goods in substitution for the documents.
AK Stat § 45.02.321 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.321. C.I.F. or C. & F.: “Net landed weights”; “payment on arrival”; warranty of conditions on arrival.

Under a contract containing a term C.I.F. or C. & F., (1) if the price is based on or is to be adjusted according to “net landed weights,” “delivered weights,” “out turn” quantity or quality, or the like, unless otherwise agreed, the seller must reasonably estimate the price; the payment due on tender of the documents called for by the contract is the amount so estimated, but after final adjustment of the price a settlement must be made with commercial promptness; (2) an agreement described in (1) of this section, or a warranty of quality or condition of the goods on arrival places upon the seller the risk of ordinary deterioration, shrinkage, and the like in transportation, but has no effect on the place or time of identification to the contract for sale or delivery or on the passing of the risk of loss; (3) unless otherwise agreed, if the contract provides for payment on or after arrival of the goods, the seller must before payment allow such preliminary inspection as is feasible; but if the goods are lost, delivery of the documents and payment are due when the goods should have arrived.
AK Stat § 45.02.322 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.322. Delivery “ex-ship.”

(a) 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 that has reached a place at the named port of destination where goods of the kind are usually discharged. (b) Under such a term, unless otherwise agreed, (1) the seller must discharge all liens arising out of the carriage and furnish the buyer with a direction that puts the carrier under a duty to deliver the goods; and (2) the risk of loss does not pass to the buyer until the goods leave the ship's tackle or are otherwise properly unloaded.
AK Stat § 45.02.323 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.323. Form of bill of lading required in overseas shipment; “overseas.”

(a) Where the contract contemplates overseas shipment and contains a term C.I.F. or C. & F. or F.O.B. vessel, the seller, unless otherwise agreed, must obtain a negotiable bill of lading stating that the goods have been loaded on board or, in the case of a term C.I.F. or C. &. F., received for shipment. (b) Where, in a case within (a) of this section, a tangible bill of lading has been issued in a set of parts, unless otherwise agreed, if the documents are not to be sent from abroad, the buyer may demand tender of the full set; otherwise only one part of the bill of lading need be tendered. Even if the agreement expressly requires a full set, (1) due tender of a single part is acceptable within the provisions on cure of improper delivery (AS 45.02.508(a)); and (2) even though the full set is demanded, if the documents are sent from abroad, the person tendering an incomplete set may nevertheless require payment upon furnishing an indemnity that the buyer in good faith considers adequate. (c) A shipment by water or by air or a contract contemplating the shipment is “overseas” insofar as by usage of trade or agreement it is subject to the commercial, financing, or shipping practices characteristic of international deep water commerce.
AK Stat § 45.02.324 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.324. “No arrival, no sale” term.

Under a term “no arrival, no sale” or terms of like meaning, unless otherwise agreed, (1) the seller must properly ship conforming goods and if they arrive by any means the seller must tender them on arrival, but the seller assumes no obligation that the goods will arrive unless the seller has caused the nonarrival; and (2) if without fault of the seller the goods are in part lost or have so deteriorated as no longer to conform to the contract or arrive after the contract time, the buyer may proceed as if there had been casualty to identified goods (AS 45.02.613).
AK Stat § 45.02.325 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.325. “Letter of credit” term; “confirmed credit.”

(a) Failure of the buyer seasonably to furnish an agreed letter of credit is a breach of the contract for sale. (b) The delivery to seller of a proper letter of credit suspends the buyer's obligation to pay. If the letter of credit is dishonored, the seller may on seasonable notification to the buyer require payment directly from the buyer. (c) Unless otherwise agreed, the term “letter of credit” or “banker's credit” in a contract for sale means an irrevocable credit issued by a financing agency of good repute and, if the shipment is overseas, of good international repute. The term “confirmed credit” means that the credit must also carry the direct obligation of such an agency that does business in the seller's financial market.
AK Stat § 45.02.326 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.326. Sale on approval and sale or return; rights of creditors.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed, if delivered goods may be returned by the buyer even though they conform to the contract, the transaction is (1) a “sale on approval” if the goods are delivered primarily for use; and (2) a “sale or return” if the goods are delivered primarily for resale. (b) Goods held on approval are not subject to the claims of the buyer's creditors until acceptance; goods held on sale or return are subject to such claims while in the buyer's possession. (c) An “or return” term of a contract for sale is to be treated as a separate contract for sale within the statute of frauds section (AS 45.02.201), and as contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the provisions on parol or extrinsic evidence (AS 45.02.202). (d) Whenever an artist delivers or causes to be delivered a work of fine art of the artist's creation to an art dealer for the purpose of sale, or exhibition and sale to the public on a commission or fee or other basis of compensation, the work of fine art is not subject to the claims of the art dealer's creditors. For the purposes of this subsection, (1) “art dealer” means a person other than a public auctioneer engaged in the business of selling works of fine art; (2) “artist” means the creator of a work of fine art; (3) “fine art” includes a painting, sculpture, drawing, photograph, or work of graphic art.
AK Stat § 45.02.327 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.327. Special incidents of sale on approval and sale or return.

(a) Under a sale on approval, unless otherwise agreed, (1) although the goods are identified to the contract, the risk of loss and the title do not pass to the buyer until acceptance; (2) use of the goods consistent with the purpose of trial is not acceptance, but failure seasonably to notify the seller of election to return the goods is acceptance, and, if the goods conform to the contract, acceptance of any part is acceptance of the whole; and (3) after due notification of election to return, the return is at the seller's risk and expense but a merchant buyer must follow reasonable instructions. (b) Under a sale or return, unless otherwise agreed, (1) the option to return extends to the whole or a commercial unit of the goods while in substantially their original condition, but must be exercised seasonably; and (2) the return is at the buyer's risk and expense.
AK Stat § 45.02.328 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.328. Sale by auction.

(a) In a sale by auction if goods are put up in lots each lot is the subject of a separate sale. (b) A sale by auction is complete when the auctioneer so announces by the fall of the hammer or in other customary manner. Where a bid is made while the hammer is falling in acceptance of a prior bid, the auctioneer has discretion to reopen the bidding or declare the goods sold under the bid on which the hammer was falling. (c) A sale by auction is with reserve unless the goods are in explicit terms put up without reserve. In an auction with reserve, the auctioneer may withdraw the goods at any time until the auctioneer announces completion of the sale. In an auction without reserve, after the auctioneer calls for bids on an article or lot, that article or lot cannot be withdrawn unless no bid is made within a reasonable time. In either case a bidder may retract a bid until the auctioneer's announcement of completion of the sale, but a bidder's retraction does not revive any previous bid. (d) If the auctioneer knowingly receives a bid on the seller's behalf or the seller makes or procures such a bid, and notice has not been given that liberty for the bidding is reserved, the buyer has the option to avoid the sale or take the goods at the price of the last good faith bid before the completion of the sale. This subsection does not apply to a bid at a forced sale.
AK Stat § 45.02.350 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 3. General Obligation and Construction of Contract.|Sec. 45.02.350. Sale by door-to-door solicitation.

(a) A contract for the purchase of goods or services in the amount of $10 or more from a person soliciting a door-to-door sale shall require, as a condition of taking effect, that the purchaser may revoke the offer to buy within five business days of entering into the contract, and that the seller, at the time of the sale, give the purchaser written notice of the right to revoke. Revocation is effective either upon the tender of the rejected goods to the seller or an agent of the seller, or upon the posting of a registered letter (marked Deliver to Addressee Only, Return Receipt) of rejection to the seller or an agent of the seller. (b) The cost of returning rejected goods shall be borne by the seller. (c) A “door-to-door sale” occurs when the seller, or a representative of the seller, personally solicits the sale and the purchaser's agreement or offer to purchase is made at a place other than the place of business of the seller. The term “door-to-door sale” does not include a transaction (1) made under prior negotiations in the course of a visit by the buyer to a retail business establishment having a fixed permanent location where the goods are exhibited or the services are offered for sale on a continuing basis; (2) in which the buyer has initiated the contact and the goods or services are needed to meet a bona fide immediate personal emergency of the buyer; (3) conducted and consummated entirely by mail; (4) in which the buyer has initiated the contact and specifically requested the seller to visit the buyer's home for the purpose of repairing or performing maintenance upon the buyer's personal property; or (5) conducted at the purchaser's place of business. (d) As used in (c) of this section, “personally” means in person or by telephone.
AK Stat § 45.02.401 (2021)
2021 Alaska Statutes|Title 45. Trade and Commerce|Chapter 02. Sales|Article 4. Title, Creditors, and Good Faith Purchasers.|Sec. 45.02.401. Passing of title; reservation for security; limited application of this section.

Each provision of this chapter 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 the title. Insofar as situations are not covered by the other provisions of this chapter and matters concerning title become material, the following rules apply: (1) title to goods cannot pass under a contract for sale before their identification to the contract (AS 45.02.501), and, unless otherwise explicitly agreed, the buyer acquires by their identification a special property as limited by the code; a 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 AS 45.29, title to goods passes from the seller to the buyer in the manner and on the conditions explicitly agreed on by the parties; (2) unless otherwise explicitly agreed, title passes to the buyer at the time and place at which the seller completes performance with reference to the physical delivery of the goods, despite a reservation of a security interest and even though a document of title is to be delivered at a different time or place; in particular and despite a reservation of a security interest by the bill of lading, (A) 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; but (B) if the contract requires delivery at destination, title passes on tender there; (3) unless otherwise explicitly agreed, where delivery is to be made without moving the goods, (A) if the seller is to deliver a tangible document of title, title passes at the time and place the seller delivers the document, and, if the seller is to deliver an electronic document of title, title passes when the seller delivers the document; or (B) 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; (4) 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; this revesting occurs by operation of law and is not a “sale.”
