12A:7-103. Relation of chapter to treaty or statute. 12A:7-103. Relation of Chapter To Treaty or Statute. a. This Chapter is subject to any treaty or statute of the United States or regulatory statute of this State to the extent the treaty, statute, or regulatory statute is applicable. b. This Chapter does not modify or repeal any law prescribing the form or content of a document of title or the services or facilities to be afforded by a bailee, or otherwise regulating a bailee's business in respects not specifically treated in this Chapter. However, violation of such a law does not affect the status of a document of title that otherwise is within the definition of a document of title. c. This Chapter modifies, limits, and supersedes the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. s.7001, et. seq.) but does not modify, limit, or supersede section 101(c) of that act (15 U.S.C. s.7001(c)) or authorize electronic delivery of any of the notices described in section 103(b) of that act (15U.S.C. s.7003(b)). d. To the extent there is a conflict between the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and this Chapter, this Chapter governs. L.2013, c.65, s.2. 12A:7-104. Negotiable and nonnegotiable document of title 12A:7-104. Negotiable and Nonnegotiable Document of Title a. Except as otherwise provided in subsection c. of this section, a document of title is negotiable if by its terms the goods are to be delivered to the bearer or to the order of a named person. b. A document of title other than one described in subsection a. of this section is nonnegotiable. A bill of lading that states that the goods are consigned to a named person is not made negotiable by a provision that the goods are to be delivered only against an order in a record signed by the same or another named person. c. A document of title is nonnegotiable if, at the time it is issued, the document has a conspicuous legend, however expressed, that it is nonnegotiable. L.2013, c.65, s.2.
