If I own a company that sells and rents out widgets that go on vessels. Say I have some widgets in a vessel which technically belong to me but my customer sells that vessel to someone else. Is the new owner of this vessel legally obligated to stay in contract with me for these widgets?

I am saying no but I have someone arguing with me yes. I need some ammo.

Details matter here. Did you sell the widgets or rent the widgets? What is the contractual relationship of the parties?

Coca-Cola owns the fountain drink machines in a Wendy’s - you buy the Wendy’s, you will be contracting with CC for those machines

ABC Co., I presume? Are you selling to that damn Vessels Inc.? I heard they were selling a lot of their assets to FreighBoats LLC.

Did company 1 buy the widgets from you are place them on their vessels, or did they rent the widgets?

I would think if they bought the widgets, they they are theirs to sell with the vessel. If they rent the widgets, then the new buyer needs to get in contact with your company to return the widgets, or come to some agreement to continue renting the widgets.

The answer is likely no. Your contract was between yourself and a second party. Contracts don’t transfer to third parties, unless it was specifically addressed in the sale contractually and agreed to by the third party.

What does your original contract say?

Do they need a small person to climb into tight spaces on the ship? I’d think the chains and baggy clothes would present a safety hazard

We have a contract with the original customer who had the widgets on his vessel. We still own the widgets. They just stay in their vessel.

This is not hard. You need to either go get your widgets or get a new contract with the new owner to rent your widgets.

That’s what I’m saying but some parties think that this new customer is obligated to hold said contract from old customer.

Most likely not unless that was very specifically called out in the sale/purchase contract of the boat by the new owner.

Depends on the terms of the contract (K).

Generally if the new owner is not a party to the K, the new owner is not bound thereby.

What also may be relevant is the purchase and sale K between the old and new owner, if it mentions anything re: obligations to vendors, et cetera.

Good luck.

No because you don’t have a contract with the new owner. New owner means new contract and all previous ones are void.

Was there not a transfer clause in the contract to cover this event?

I would think the person who transferred the property would be responsible...


If X rents a tool from Y, X sells it to Z. X is civilly responsible for Z's loss. (or criminally if the value reaches the grand theft threshold)

*The preceding is a layman's opinion, for external use only professional driver, closed course, optional equipment shown. If rash persists, discontinue use. Don't run with scissors. Serving suggestion. Do not apply to broken skin. If condition persists, consult a physician. Not for internal use. Tax, tag, license fee extra. Prices slightly higher in AK and HI. Void where prohibited. Must be 18 to enter, must be present to win. Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where it's been. Call your mother, she worries. Do not look into laser with remaining eye. Don't thank me, I'm here to help.
