Risk prima facie passes with property

Unless otherwise agreed, the goods remain at the seller’s risk until the property therein is transferred to the buyer, but when the property therein is transferred to the buyer the goods are at the buyer’s risk, whether delivery has been made or
not:
Provided that where delivery has been delayed through the fault of either seller or buyer, the goods are at the risk of the party in fault as regards any loss which might not have occurred but for such fault:
Provided, also, that nothing in this section shall affect the duties or liabilities of either seller or buyer as a bailee of the goods of the other party.
