Wis JI-Civil 3056
Sale of Goods: Delivery or Tender of Performance
A seller of goods or merchandise has the obligation to transfer and deliver the goods
or merchandise; the obligation of the buyer is to accept and pay for the goods or merchandise
in accordance with the contract.
The seller must put and hold goods or merchandise which conform to the terms of the
contract at the buyer's disposition, and give the buyer any notification reasonably necessary to
enable the buyer to take delivery.
Upon delivery, the buyer must stand ready to pay according to the terms of the
contract. If the contract does not specify otherwise, payment may be by any means or manner
currently used in the ordinary course of business, unless the seller demands payment in legal
tender and provides an extension of time reasonably required by the buyer to procure
payment.
The manner, time, and place of transfer and delivery are determined by the agreement
of the parties, but must be at a reasonable hour. The goods or merchandise must be kept
available for a period reasonably necessary to enable the buyer to take possession.
