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. Insofar 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 ( NRS 104.2501 ), and unless otherwise
explicitly agreed the buyer acquires by their identification a special property
as limited by this chapter. 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 or her 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:
(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 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
(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. Such revesting
occurs by operation of law and is not a sale.
