Description

The CISG governs international sales contracts if (1) both parties are located in Contracting States, or (2) private international law leads to the application of the law of a Contracting State (although, as permitted by the CISG (article 95), several Contracting States have declared that they are not bound by the latter ground). The autonomy of the parties to international sales contracts is a fundamental theme of the Convention: the parties can, by agreement, derogate from virtually any CISG rule, or can exclude the applicability of the CISG entirely in favor of other law. When the Convention applies, it does not govern every issue that can arise from an international sales contract: for example, issues concerning the validity of the contract or the effect of the contract on the property in (ownership of) the goods sold are, as expressly provided in the CISG, beyond the scope of the Convention, and are left to the law applicable by virtue of the rules of private international law (Article 4). Questions concerning matters governed by the Convention but that are not expressly addressed therein are to be settled in conformity with the general principles of the CISG or, in the absence of such principles, by reference to the law applicable under the rules of private international law.

The Missouri Contract for the International Sale of Goods with Purchase Money Security Interest is a legal document specific to the state of Missouri that regulates the sale of goods between international parties and incorporates a purchase money security interest. This contract is primarily designed to protect the interests of buyers and sellers engaged in cross-border transactions involving the sale of goods. In the context of the Missouri Contract for the International Sale of Goods with Purchase Money Security Interest, "international sale of goods" refers to commercial transactions where the buyer and seller are located in different countries.

The inclusion of a "purchase money security interest" (PSI) in this contract is of significant importance.

Title Retention Contract: In this variation, the seller retains legal ownership of the goods until the buyer completes all payments. This allows the seller to reclaim the goods in case of non-payment or default. 3. Security Agreement: This form of contract grants the seller a security interest in the goods sold, which can be used as collateral for any outstanding payments.
