reservation ( NRS 104.2505 ); but

at a particular destination and the goods are there duly tendered while in the

be delivered without being moved, the risk of loss passes to the buyer:
(a) On the buyers receipt of possession or
control of a negotiable document of title covering the goods; or
(b) On acknowledgment by the bailee of the
buyers right to possession of the goods; or

control of a nonnegotiable document of title or other direction to deliver in a
record, as provided in paragraph (b) of subsection 4 of NRS 104.2503 .
3. In any case not within subsection 1 or
