Unless otherwise agreed:
1. Payment is due at the time and place at which the buyer is to receive the goods even 
though the place of shipment is the place of delivery.
2. If the seller is authorized to send the goods, the seller may ship them under 
reservation, and may tender the documents of title, but the buyer may inspect the 

goods after their arrival before payment is due unless such inspection is inconsistent 
with the terms of the contract (section 41-02-61).
3. If delivery is authorized and made by way of documents of title otherwise than by 
subsection 2, then payment is due regardless of where the goods are to be received:
a. At the time and place at which the buyer is to receive delivery of the tangible 
documents; or
b. At the time the buyer is to receive delivery of the electronic documents and at the 
seller's place of business or if none, the seller's residence.
4. If the seller is required or authorized to ship the goods on credit, the credit period runs 
from the time of shipment but postdating the invoice or delaying its dispatch will 
correspondingly delay the starting of the credit period.
