    Tender of delivery by Seller: To be in a position to bring suit on a sales contract, the seller of goods must make tender of delivery, that is, offer to turn the goods over to the buyer. Failure to make this offer is an excuse for buyers not to perform their part of the bargain. The seller must put and hold the goods at the buyer’s disposition and notify the buyer that the goods are being tendered during reasonable hours and for a reasonable period of time. In a shipment contract, the seller must put the goods in the possession of a carrier and contract with that carrier for their transportation. Any necessary documents must be sent to the buyer, who must be promptly notified of the shipment. If the seller does not make a reasonable contract for delivery or notify the buyer and a material delay or loss results, the buyer has the right to reject the shipment.

    According to ss 17(1) of the Sales of Goods Act 1979, the basic position in contracts for the sale of goods is that the title passes from the buyer to the seller when the parties intend it to pass 3.

Reservation of title clauses, sometimes referred to as Romalpa Clauses, is a provision, which is enclosed in a contract for the sale of goods, which, specifies that the title to the goods will remain vested in the seller, until certain conditions have been satisfied by the buyer, regardless of whether the goods have been delivered to the buyer 4.
