2021 Maine Revised Statutes|TITLE 11: UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Article 2: SALES|Part 4: TITLE, CREDITORS AND GOOD FAITH PURCHASERS|11 §2-401. Passing of title; reservation for security; limited application of this section

 §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. In so far 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 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 9), title to goods passes from the seller to the buyer in any manner and on any 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 his performance with reference to the physical delivery of the goods, despite any reservation of a security interest and even though a document of title is to be delivered at a different time or place; and in particular despite any 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 him 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 when and the place where the seller delivers such documents and if the seller is to deliver an electronic document of title, title passes when the seller delivers the document; or   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §8 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).](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.   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §8 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).][PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §8 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).] (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. Such revesting occurs by operation of law and is not a "sale."   SECTION HISTORY PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §8 (AMD). PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).

 §2-402. Rights of seller's creditors against sold goods (1).  Except as provided in subsection (2) and (3), rights of unsecured creditors of the seller with respect to goods which have been identified to a contract for sale are subject to the buyer's rights to recover the goods under this Article (sections 2-502 and 2-716).   (2).  A creditor of the seller may treat a sale or an identification of goods to a contract for sale as void, if as against him a retention of possession by the seller is fraudulent under any rule of law of the state where the goods are situated, except that retention of possession in good faith and current course of trade by a merchant-seller for a commercially reasonable time after a sale or identification is not fraudulent.   (3).  Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to impair the rights of creditors of the seller   (a). Under the provisions of the Article on secured transactions (Article 9); or   (b). Where identification to the contract or delivery is made not in current course of trade but in satisfaction of or as security for a pre-existing claim for money, security or the like and is made under circumstances which under any rule of law of the state where the goods are situated would apart from this Article constitute the transaction a fraudulent conveyance or voidable preference.   [PL 1965, c. 306, §7 (AMD).][PL 1965, c. 306, §7 (AMD).] SECTION HISTORY PL 1965, c. 306, §7 (AMD).

 §2-403. Power to transfer; good faith purchase of goods; "entrusting" (1).  A purchaser of goods acquires all title which his transferor had or had power to transfer, except that a purchaser of a limited interest acquires rights only to the extent of the interest purchased. A person with voidable title has power to transfer a good title to a good faith purchaser for value. When goods have been delivered under a transaction of purchase the purchaser has such power even though   (a). The transferor was deceived as to the identity of the purchaser; or   (b). The delivery was in exchange for a check which is later dishonored; or   (c). It was agreed that the transaction was to be a "cash sale"; or   (d). The delivery was procured through fraud punishable as larcenous under the criminal law.   (2).  Any entrusting of possession of goods to a merchant who deals in goods of that kind gives him power to transfer all rights of the entruster to a buyer in ordinary course of business.   (3).  "Entrusting" includes any delivery and any acquiescence in retention of possession regardless of any condition expressed between the parties to the delivery or acquiescence and regardless of whether the procurement of the entrusting or the possessor's disposition of the goods have been such as to be larcenous under the criminal law.   (4).  The rights of other purchasers of goods and of lien creditors are governed by the Articles on secured transactions (Article 9-A) and documents of title (Article 7-A).   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt.

 §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 12 months after contracting or for the sale of crops to be harvested within 12 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.

 §2-502. Buyer's right to goods on seller's repudiation, failure to deliver or insolvency (1).  Subject to subsections (2) and (3) 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 the buyer has a special property under the provisions of section 2-501 may, on making and keeping good a tender of any unpaid portion of the price of the goods, recover the goods 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   [PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. B, §9 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. B, §28 (AFF).](b).

B, §9 (RPR); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt.

2021 Maine Revised Statutes|TITLE 11: UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Article 2: SALES|Part 5: PERFORMANCE|11 §2-503. Manner of seller's tender of delivery

 §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 section 2-504 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).   (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 record directing the bailee to deliver is sufficient tender unless the buyer seasonably objects, and except as otherwise provided in Article 9-A 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.   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §10 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).][PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §10 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).] (5).  Where the contract requires the seller to deliver documents,   (a). The seller must tender all such documents in correct form, except as provided in this Article with respect to bills of lading in a set (section 2-323, subsection (2)); and   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §11 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).](b). Tender through customary banking channels is sufficient and dishonor of a draft accompanying or associated with the documents constitutes nonacceptance or rejection.   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §11 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).][PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §11 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).] SECTION HISTORY PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §§10, 11 (AMD). PL 2009, c. 324, Pt.

 §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   (1).  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   (2).  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   (3).  Promptly notify the buyer of the shipment.   Failure to notify the buyer under subsection (3) or to make a proper contract under subsection (1) is a ground for rejection only if material delay or loss ensues.

2021 Maine Revised Statutes|TITLE 11: UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Article 2: SALES|Part 5: PERFORMANCE|11 §2-505. Seller's shipment under reservation

 §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 the seller or the seller's nominee reserves possession of the goods as security, but except in a case of conditional delivery under section 2-507, subsection (2) 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.   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §12 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).][PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §12 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).] (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 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 of title.   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt.

 §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.

 §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 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 to the carrier even though the shipment is under reservation (section 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 the buyer's receipt of possession or control of a negotiable document of title covering the goods; or   [PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §15 (AMD); PL 2009, c. 324, Pt. B, §48 (AFF).](b).
