Retention of Title Clause Examples
The Retention of Title clause establishes that ownership of goods remains with the seller until the buyer has paid in full. In practice, this means that even after delivery, the buyer does not legally own the goods until all payment obligations are satisfied, and the seller may reclaim the goods if payment is not made. This clause primarily protects the seller from the risk of non-payment by ensuring they can recover their property if the buyer defaults.

9.1. The ownership of Goods shall remain the sole and absolute ownership of Supplier until such time as Purchaser has paid in full to Supplier the agreed price for the delivered Goods, as well as any interest, collection costs, or other amounts due with respect to such Goods.
9.2. If applicable law does not permit the enforcement of a reservation of ownership by Supplier as stipulated in Section 9.1, Purchaser shall warrant that Supplier has rights that have the same or similar effect as the agreed retention of ownership, to the fullest extent possible under the applicable law.
9.3. Until Purchaser becomes the full and unconditional owner of the Goods in accordance with Section 9.1:
(a) Purchaser shall store the Goods separately from his own goods or the goods of any other person and shall identify these as the property of Supplier and preserve all labels, identifying marks and stock records identifying them as the property of Supplier;
(b) Purchaser shall, to the satisfaction of Supplier, adequately insure the Goods against loss, theft and damage;

(e) Purchaser irrevocably consents to fully cooperate with Supplier and enable Supplier to exercise its rights under Sections 9.3(c) and 9.3(d) in all practical aspects, in particular by taking all commercially reasonable actions requested by Supplier that are necessary or useful to give Supplier free access to the Goods and to allow the transportation of the Goods; and

Retention of Title. 11.1. Title to all delivered goods remains with the Seller until the Buyer has paid all sums owing to the Seller in connection with the respective Contract and all other obligations of the Buyer towards the Seller arising under or in connection with the respective Contract have been fulfilled. Any processing of the delivered goods by the Buyer takes place on behalf of the Seller without imposing obligations on the Seller. If the delivered goods are processed with other goods not owned by the Seller, the Seller acquires a co-ownership on the newly produced goods pro rata the value of the delivered goods at the time of the processing.
11.2. The Buyer shall be entitled to sell the delivered goods in the usual course of business. Any possible claims resulting from such sale shall herewith be assigned to the Seller in advance and the Buyer shall undertake all necessary publicity requirements for enforceability of such assignment. The Buyer shall provide the Seller with written customer lists upon the Seller’s request. If the Buyer sells any goods co-owned by the Seller, the assignment shall apply in the same volume as this co-ownership. The Seller shall be entitled to collect the assigned sum.
11.3. The Buyer is obliged to appropriately insure the goods still owned by the Seller against all common risks, particularly against fire, burglary or damage caused by water at its own expense, to treat them cautiously and store them properly.
11.4. In case the Buyer is in delay of overdue payment considering a grace period of 10 working days, the Seller shall be entitled to demand restitution of the delivered goods or to collect the delivered goods and to sell them as they are (i.e. including their packing) to any third persons. One or several of these acts shall not be considered as termination of the respective orders and does not relieve the Buyer to effect payment of the invoiced amounts. In case the delivered goods are sold to third parties by the Seller, the Buyer states and guarantees that this will not result in the infringement of any intellectual property rights (e.g. trademark rights with regard to signs, logos and words, etc.) that are imprinted on the respective goods or packaging and waives any rights the Buyer may have against the Seller resulting therefrom.
11.5. The Seller may, at its free discretion, however, also terminate the unpaid order, without limiting any of the Seller’s claims arising out of or in connection with the Buyer’s breach of contract,...
Retention of Title. Title in the Products delivered will remain vested in AkzoNobel until the purchase price has been paid in full (retention of title). Pending payment Buyer will hold the unused Products in trust for AkzoNobel. Except for in a case of default Buyer may sell the Products in the ordinary course of its business. Buyer hereby assigns all claims in connection with the resale of the Products to AkzoNobel (extended retention of title). Buyer is entitled to collect these claims on behalf of AkzoNobel, unless being in default. If the Products delivered are processed, AkzoNobel shall be considered the manufacturer of the newly produced goods and shall directly acquire sole title to the newly produced goods. If the processing involves the use of other materials not supplied by AkzoNobel, AkzoNobel shall directly acquire joint title to the newly produced goods in the proportion of the invoice value of the Products delivered by AkzoNobel to the invoice value (or, if the invoice value cannot be determined to the market value) of such other materials. If the Products delivered by AkzoNobel are combined or blended with material owned by Buyer, which has to be considered the main material, Buyer shall transfer to AkzoNobel joint title to the newly produced goods in the proportion of the invoice value of the Products delivered by AkzoNobel to the invoice value (or, if the invoice value cannot be determined to the market value) of the main material. Buyer holds in custody for AkzoNobel any sole or joint ownership in the Products and the newly produced goods as set forth above at no expense for AkzoNobel and will insure those goods against defects or loss. Buyer hereby assigns all rights deriving from this insurance coverage to AkzoNobel. AkzoNobel hereby accepts this assignment. If Buyer is in default, AkzoNobel is entitled to retreat from the sale and to take back the Products or to claim from Buyer the cedation of the right of trover against any third party. Should a security right obtained in connection with these Terms and Conditions exceed AkzoNobel’s claims by more than 15 %, AkzoNobel hereby waives such security right to the extent it exceeds it own claims by more than this degree.
Retention of Title. 1. Notwithstanding the other provisions in these Sales Conditions, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall retain ownership and title to the Products delivered to the Purchaser by ▇▇▇▇▇ until the Purchaser has made full and final payment of all amounts (including interest, costs and penalties) that it owes to ▇▇▇▇▇ under all Agreements entered into between ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Purchaser, including all joint obligations and all claims by ▇▇▇▇▇ based on default on the part of the Purchaser with regard to these Agreements. Nevertheless, the Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business, process or, in the event the Purchaser is a distributor of ▇▇▇▇▇, sell these Products owned by ▇▇▇▇▇.
2. The Purchaser shall at its own expense obtain adequate insurance coverage for the Products owned by ▇▇▇▇▇. This coverage shall be for loss, theft and any other risks for which insurance is ordinarily obtained in the country in which the Purchaser has its headquarters/ storage warehouse. At the first request of ▇▇▇▇▇ Purchaser will present ▇▇▇▇▇ a copy of the insurance policy as well as proof of payment.
3. Where the laws of the country or countries for which the Products are intended, to which the Products are sent, or in which the Purchaser is situated do not acknowledge retention of title in this way or set specific requirements for the validity or vesting of this right, in whole or in part, the Purchaser shall inform ▇▇▇▇▇ thereof in full before the delivery of the Products. The Purchaser shall, at ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ first request, co-operate in satisfying these requirements or - at ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ sole discretion and on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇, - vest in the Products (whether delivered yet or not) a security right that shall be similar in effect to retention of title and that shall be effective against third parties. By entering into an Agreement the Purchaser grants ▇▇▇▇▇ irrevocable authority to take any measures necessary to effect the above.
4. As long as any Products are subject to retention of title or the Purchaser is subject to any other obligation to vest or to arrange for the vesting of a similar security right on the Products pursuant to the provisions in article 11(3) of the Sales Conditions, the Purchaser shall not grant a pledge on the Products delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇ or encumber them in any way.
Retention of Title a. The Work remains the Seller's property until the Buyer has paid for it and discharged all other debts owing to the Seller.
b. If the Buyer becomes subject to Insolvency and the Work has not been paid for in full the Seller may take the goods back and, if necessary, enter the Buyer's premises to do so, or to inspect and/or label the goods so as to identify them clearly.
c. If the Buyer shall sell the goods before they have been paid for in full he shall hold the proceeds of sale on trust for the Seller in a separate account until any sum owing to the Seller has been discharged from such proceeds.
d. Where the Buyer is in breach of these Terms or performs any act of Bankruptcy or Insolvency the Seller reserves the right to approach the Buyer's customer and to offer the Work directly to them, notwithstanding the fact that this will involve advising the Buyer’s customer that the Buyer is in breach or in default.
Retention of Title. 7.1 All delivered goods shall remain our property (goods sold subject to retention of title) until all receivables out of this contractual relationship, on whatever legal grounds, have been fully paid up.
7.2 In case of processing, combining or mixing of goods sub- ject to retention of title with goods of Customer, we shall be entitled to co-ownership of the new property inasmuch as the invoiced value of goods sold with retention of title relates to the value of the other involved goods. Where our co-ownership becomes null and void due to pro- cessing, combining or mixing with other goods, Customer undertakes to assign to us those of his rights of owner- ship in the new property or compound matter which corre- spond to the amount of the value of goods subject to re- tention of our title and undertake necessary steps to se- cure our rights (e.g. label the goods with our property rights). Customer shall also be responsible for holding such rights in safe custody on our behalf and at his own expense. We shall be entitled to review and undertake - where necessary - such steps ourselves. Any rights to co- ownership created as a result of such processing, com- bining or mixing shall be subject to section 7.1 of these Terms and Conditions.
7.3 Customer may resell, process, combine or mix with other property, or otherwise integrate goods under retention of title in normal business operations, as long as Customer is not defaulting. Customer shall be prohibited from taking any other disposition regarding goods for which we retain title. We shall be promptly notified about any hypotheca- tion or other seizure of goods under retention of title through a third party. All intervention costs will be charged to Customer if and to the extent that they cannot be col- lected from such third party. If Customer grants his buyer additional time for payment of the sales price, Customer shall reserve title in goods resold with retention of our title under the same terms which we have applied when deliv- ering such goods with retention of title. Customer shall be prohibited from any other kind of resale.
7.4 Customer undertakes to immediately assign to us any re- ceivables resulting from a resale of goods initially sold with retention of our title as soon as such receivables ex- ist and to undertake necessary steps to secure such rights (notification of debtor or book entries). We shall be entitled to notify the debtor ourselves. Such receivables will be used to substitute the goo...
Retention of Title a. Property in all the Goods supplied shall remain vested in the Company and shall not pass to the Customer until all monies owing to the Company by the Customer together with all collection, repossession and/or legal costs incurred, have been paid in full.
b. The Goods, whether as separate chattels or as components, shall be stored in such a manner as to be clearly identifiable as the property of the Company until title has passed to the Customer.
c. The Company may demand at any time until title has passed to the Customer that the Customer returns the Goods or any part of them.
d. In the event that the Customer defaults in the payment of any monies owing to the Company, the Company and its employees or agents shall have the right to enter without notice upon the Customer's premises or any other premises where the Goods are known to be stored to repossess the Goods and for this purpose the Customer shall grant reasonable access rights and the Company, its employees or agents shall be entitled to do all things required to secure repossession.
Retention of Title. The Goods shall remain the property of the Seller until paid for in full, to the extent that such retention of title is legally valid.
Retention of Title. The Seller retains the title to the items until all claims of the Seller against the Buyer from the business relationship, including future claims arising from simultaneous or subsequent contracts, are settled. This shall also apply if individual or all claims of the Seller have been included in a current invoice and the balance is drawn and recognised. The assertion of our retention of title rights is not to be regarded as cancellation of the contract. We rather retain, in addition to the right to the return of our property, our rights under the contract of sale, in particular claims for damages and lost profits. If the Buyer defaults, or violates one of the obligations towards us from the agreed retention of title, the entire balance is due immediately. In these cases, we are entitled to demand the return of the items and to collect them from Buyer. The Buyer has no right of possession. The Buyer has the revocable right to resell the reserved items within the context of an ordinary course of business. The Buyer hereby assigns to us all receivables and ancillary rights entitled to him from the resale. If, after processing / blending, the reserved items are resold by the Buyer along with items not belonging to the Seller, the Buyer shall assign all receivables arising from the resale in the amount of the value of the reserved items together with all ancillary rights and with priority. The Seller accepts the reassignment.The Buyer is also authorised to collect receivables even after the reassignment. The Seller's right to collect the receivables ourselves remains unaffected. However, the Seller undertakes not to collect the receivables as long as the Buyer meets its payment and other obligations. The Seller may require the Buyer to provide details of the reassigned receivables and their debtors, and all information necessary for collection, including the relevant documents, and to inform the debtors of the reassignment. Any working or processing of the reserved items by the Buyer for the Seller may be done without the latter being under any new obligation. In processing, blending, combining or mixing of the reserved items with other items not belonging to the Seller of the items, this results in the Seller receiving co-ownership of the new item in proportion to the value of the reserved items used in the processing at the time of processing, combining, mixing or blending. If the Buyer acquires sole ownership of the new item, the contracting parties agree th...
