Point and Title Clause Samples

The "Point and Title" clause establishes how ownership and risk of loss for goods are transferred between parties in a transaction. Typically, this clause specifies the exact moment or event—such as delivery to a carrier or arrival at a destination—when the buyer assumes both legal title and responsibility for the goods. For example, it may state that title passes upon shipment, while risk of loss passes upon delivery. The core function of this clause is to clearly allocate risk and ownership, preventing disputes over who bears responsibility if goods are damaged or lost during transit.
