Quality Computer Company agrees to sell one hundred servers to Social Media Networks, Inc.  The servers, which Social Media Networks expressly requires to have certain amounts of memory, are to be shipped "F.O.B. Social Media Networks distribution center in Memphis, TN."  When the servers arrive, Social Media Networks rejects them and informs Quality Computer, claiming that the servers do not conform to Social Media Networks' memory requirement.  A few hours later, the servers are destroyed in a fire at Social Media Networks' distribution center.  Will Quality Computer succeed in a suit against Social Media Networks for the cost of the goods?

Correct Answer

No, because the goods were nonconforming, and so the cost of their loss will be borne by Quality Computer, the seller.  When goods are shipped and destroyed while in the possession of the buyer, if a contract does not state who bears the risk of loss, the determining factor is whether there has been a breach of the contract.  There is a breach if the goods are so nonconforming as to give the buyer a right of rejection.  In that situation, the risk of loss belongs to the seller until the defects are cured or until the buyer accepts the goods in spite of their defects.  It makes no difference, in these circumstances, whether the agreement is a shipment contract or a destination contract.  Here, the goods were destroyed without their defects being cured and without the buyer's accepting them anyway.

In most situations involving sales or leases, rights and liabilities are generally not determined by who has title to the goods.
