§ 1302.32.

(A) Unless otherwise agreed the term F.O.B. (which means “free on board”) at a named place, even though used only in connection

with the stated price, is a delivery term under which: (1) when the term is F.O.B. the place of shipment, the seller must at that place ship

the goods in the manner provided in section 1302.48 of the Revised Code and bear the expense and risk of putting them into the possession of the carrier;

 or (2) when the term is F.O.B. the place of destination, the seller must at his own expense

and risk transport the goods to that place and there tender delivery of them in the

manner provided in section 1302.47 of the Revised Code ; (3) when under either divisions (A)(1) or (A)(2) of this section the term is also F.O.B.

vessel, car, or other vehicle, the seller must in addition at his own expense and

risk load the goods on board.  If the term is F.O.B. vessel the buyer must name the vessel and in an appropriate

case the seller must comply with the provisions of section 1302.36 of the Revised Code on the form of bill of lading. (B) Unless otherwise agreed the term F.A.S. vessel (which means “free alongside”), at a named port, even though used only in

connection with the stated price, is a delivery term under which the seller must: (1) at his own expense and risk deliver the goods alongside the vessel in the manner

usual in that port or on a dock designated and provided by the buyer;  and (2) obtain and tender a receipt for the goods in exchange for which the carrier is under

a duty to issue a bill of lading. (C) Unless otherwise agreed in any case falling within divisions (A)(1) or (B) of this

section, the buyer must seasonably give any needed instructions for making delivery,

including when the term is F.A.S. or F.O.B. the loading berth of the vessel and in

an appropriate case its name and sailing date.  The seller may treat the failure of needed instructions as a failure of cooperation

as provided in section 1302.24 of the Revised Code .  He may also at his option move the goods in any reasonable manner preparatory to

delivery or shipment. (D) Under the term F.O.B. vessel or F.A.S. unless otherwise agreed the buyer must make

payment against tender of the required documents and the seller may not tender nor

the buyer demand delivery of the goods in substitution for the documents.
