Manner of seller's tender of delivery

Official statutory text

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 the next section 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) of this section.

(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 written direction to the bailee to deliver is sufficient tender

unless the buyer seasonably objects, and receipt by the bailee of

notification of the buyer's rights fixes those rights as against the

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 12A. Uniform Commercial Code Page 210

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.

(5) Where the contract requires the seller to deliver documents

(a) he must tender all such documents in correct form, except

as provided in this article with respect to bills of lading in a set

(subsection (2) of Section 2-323); and

(b) tender through customary banking channels is sufficient and

dishonor of a draft accompanying or associated with the documents

constitutes nonacceptance or rejection.
