411.219 Risk of loss.
(1) Except in the case of a finance lease, risk of loss is retained by the lessor and does not pass to the lessee. In the case of a finance lease, risk of loss passes to the lessee.
(2) Subject to s. 411.220, if risk of loss is to pass to the lessee and the time of passage is not stated, all of the following apply:
(a) If the lease contract requires or authorizes the goods to be shipped by carrier and the lease contract does not require delivery at a particular destination, the risk of loss passes to the lessee when the goods are delivered to the carrier; but if the lease contract does require delivery at a particular destination and the goods are tendered while in the possession of the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the lessee when the goods are so tendered as to enable the lessee to take delivery.
(b) If the goods are held by a bailee to be delivered without being moved, the risk of loss passes to the lessee on acknowledgment by the bailee of the lessee's right to possession of the goods.
(c) In any case not within par. (a) or (b), the risk of loss passes to the lessee on the lessee's receipt of the goods if the lessor, or, in the case of a finance lease, the supplier, is a merchant; otherwise the risk passes to the lessee on tender of delivery.
