Definition

Retention of Title. It is a provision in a contract for the sale of products that the title to the products remains vested in the vendor until certain obligations (normally the payment of the purchase price) are fulfilled by the buyer. It is sometimes called a Romalpa clause in some jurisdictions. It is especially used in Germany.
