§ 1302.71.

Where the contract requires for its performance goods identified when the contract

is made, and the goods suffer casualty without fault of either party before the risk

of loss passes to the buyer, or in a proper case under a “no arrival, no sale” term

pursuant to section 1302.37 of the Revised Code , then: (A) if the loss is total the contract is avoided;  and (B) if the loss is partial or the goods have so deteriorated as no longer to conform
