2023 Ohio Revised Code › Title 13 | Commercial Transactions › Chapter 1302 | Sales › Section 1302.13 | Delegation of Performance - Assignment of Rights - Ucc 2-210.

Effective:
July 1, 2001
Latest Legislation:
Senate Bill 74 - 124th General Assembly
(A) A party may perform the party's duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having the original promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract. No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform or any liability for breach.
(B)(1) Except as otherwise provided in section 1309.406 of the Revised Code, unless otherwise agreed all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on the other party by the contract, or impair materially the other party's chance of obtaining return performance. A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the assignor's due performance of the assignor's entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.
(2) The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the seller's interest under a contract is not a transfer that materially changes the duty of or increases materially the burden or risk imposed on the buyer or impairs materially the buyer's chance of obtaining return performance under division (B)(1) of this section unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the seller. In any case, the creation, attachment, perfection, and enforcement of the security interest remain effective, but the seller is liable to the buyer for damages caused by the delegation to the extent that the damages could not reasonably be prevented by the buyer, and a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale or an injunction against enforcement of the security interest or consummation of the enforcement.
(C) Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary a prohibition of assignment of "the contract" is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of the assignor's performance.
(D) An assignment of "the contract" or of "all my rights under the contract" or an assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and unless the language or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor and its acceptance by the assignee constitutes a promise by the assignee to perform those duties. This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original contract.
(E) The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and may without prejudice to the other party's rights against the assignor demand assurances from the assignee as provided in section 1302.67 of the Revised Code.

(3) the price is to be fixed in terms of some agreed market or other standard as set or recorded by a third person or agency and if it is not so set or recorded.

(C) When a price left to be fixed otherwise than by agreement of the parties fails to be fixed through fault of one party the other may at his option treat the contract as cancelled or himself fix a reasonable price.
(D) Where, however, the parties intend not to be bound unless the price be fixed or agreed and it is not fixed or agreed there is no contract. In such a case the buyer must return any goods already received or if unable to do so must pay their reasonable value at the time of delivery and the seller must return any portion of the price paid on account.

(4) with respect to the sale of livestock between merchants, except sales of livestock for immediate slaughter, both of the following apply:

(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 nor the buyer demand delivery of the goods in substitution for the documents.

(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 the claims of the buyer's creditor's while in the buyer's possession.
(C) Any "or return" term of a contract for sale is to be treated as a separate contract for sale within section 1302.04 of the Revised Code and as contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the provisions of section 1302.05 of the Revised Code.

(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; and
(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 any reasonable instructions.
(B) Under a sale or return unless otherwise agreed:
(1) the option to return extends to the whole or any 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.

Senate Bill 5 - 104th General Assembly
(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 may in his discretion reopen the bidding or declare the goods sold under the bid on which the hammer was falling.
(C) Such a sale 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 he 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 his 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 such bidding is reserved, the buyer may at his option avoid the sale or take the goods at the price of the last good faith bid prior to the completion of the sale. This division shall not apply to any bid at a force sale.

Latest Legislation:
House Bill 9 - 129th General Assembly
Each provision of sections 1302.01 to 1302.98 of the Revised Code 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 that title. Insofar as situations are not covered by the other provisions of sections 1302.01 to 1302.98 of the Revised Code and matters concerning title become material, the following rules apply:
(A) Title to goods cannot pass under a contract for sale prior to their identification to the contract pursuant to section 1302.45 of the Revised Code, and unless otherwise explicitly agreed the buyer acquires by their identification a special property as limited by Chapters 1301., 1302., 1303., 1304., 1305., 1307., 1308., 1309., and 1310. of the Revised Code. 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 Chapter 1309. of the Revised Code, title to goods passes from the seller to the buyer in any manner and on any conditions explicitly agreed on by the parties.
(B) 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 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 and despite any reservation of a security interest by the bill of lading:
(1) If the contract requires or authorized 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
(2) If the contract requires delivery at destination, title passes on tender there.
(C) Unless otherwise explicitly agreed where delivery is to be made without moving the goods:
(1) 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 documents and if the seller is to deliver an electronic document of title, title passes when the seller delivers the document; or
(2) 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. The revesting occurs by operation of law and is not a "sale."

Latest Legislation:
Senate Bill 74 - 124th General Assembly
(A) Except as provided in divisions (B) and (C) of this section, 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 pursuant to sections 1302.46 and 1302.90 of the Revised Code.
(B) A creditor of the seller may treat a sale or an identification of goods to a contract for sale as void if as against the seller 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.
(C) Nothing in sections 1302.01 to 1302.98 of the Revised Code shall be deemed to impair the rights of creditors of the seller:
(1) under the provisions of Chapter 1309. of the Revised Code; or
(2) where identification to the contract or delivery is made not in current course of trade but in satisfaction of or as security for a preexisting 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 sections 1302.01 to 1302.98 of the Revised Code constitute the transaction a fraudulent transfer or voidable preference.

Effective:
June 29, 2011
Latest Legislation:
House Bill 9 - 129th General Assembly
(A) A purchaser of goods acquires all title which the 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:
(1) The transferor was deceived as to the identity of the purchaser, or
(2) The delivery was in exchange for a check which is later dishonored, or
(3) It was agreed that the transaction was to be a "cash sale", or
(4) The delivery was procured through fraud punishable as larcenous under the criminal law.
(B) Any entrusting of possession of goods to a merchant who deals in goods of that kind gives the merchant power to transfer all rights of the entruster to a buyer in ordinary course of business.
(C) "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.
(D) The rights of other purchasers of goods and of lien creditors are governed by the provisions of Chapter 1309. and sections 1307.102 to 1307.603 of the Revised Code.

Latest Legislation:
Senate Bill 5 - 104th General Assembly
(A) 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 non conforming 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:
(1) when the contract is made if it is for the sale of goods already existing and identified;
(2) if the contract is for the sale of future goods other than those described in division (A) (3) of this section, when goods are shipped, marked, or otherwise designated by the seller as goods to which the contract refers;
(3) 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.
(B) 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.
(C) Nothing in this section impairs any insurable interest recognized under any other statute or rule of law.

(A) Subject to divisions (B) and (C) 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 the buyer has a special property under section 1302.45 of the Revised Code, may on making and keeping good a tender of any unpaid portion of their price recover them from the seller if:
(1) 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
(2) In all cases, the seller becomes insolvent within ten days after receipt of the first installment on their price.
(B) The buyer's right to recover the goods under division (A)(1) of this section vests upon acquisition of a special property, even if the seller had not then repudiated or failed to deliver.
(C) If the identification creating the buyer's special property has been made by the buyer, the buyer acquires the right to recover the goods only if they conform to the contract for sale.

Effective:

Latest Legislation:
House Bill 9 - 129th General Assembly
(A) 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 the buyer to take delivery. The manner, time, and place for tender are determined by the agreement and sections 1302.01 to 1302.98, inclusive, of the Revised Code, and in particular:
(1) 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
(2) unless otherwise agreed the buyer must furnish facilities reasonably suited to the receipt of the goods.
(B) Where the case is within section 1302.48 of the Revised Code respecting shipment, tender requires that the seller comply with its provisions.
(C) Where the seller is required to deliver at a particular destination, tender requires that the seller comply with division (A) of this section and also in any appropriate case tender documents as described in divisions (D) and (E) of this section.
(D) Where goods are in the possession of a bailee and are to be delivered without being moved:
(1) 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
(2) tender to the buyer of a non-negotiable 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 Chapter 1309. of the Revised Code, 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 non-negotiable 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.
(E) Where the contract requires the seller to deliver documents:
(1) the seller must tender all such documents in correct form, except as provided in division (B) of section 1302.36 of the Revised Code; and
(2) tender through customary banking channels is sufficient and dishonor of a draft accompanying or associated with the documents constitutes nonacceptance or rejection.

Effective:
July 1, 1962
Latest Legislation:
Senate Bill 5 - 104th General Assembly
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 division (C) of this section or to make a proper contract under division (A) of this section is a ground for rejection only if material delay or loss ensues.
