Which statement correctly describes the role of incoterms like FOB or CAF in Electrosteel?

Incoterms define where the seller’s delivery obligation ends and who bears costs and risk as goods move from seller to buyer. They specify the exact place that counts as “delivered” for the contract—such as the point where goods pass the ship’s rail in FOB terms or the point where freight and insurance are arranged up to a destination in CIF/CAF terms. This focus on the delivery point and the transfer of risk is what shapes performance under the contract and can influence where disputes might be resolved, but the terms do not determine the governing law, the contract price, or liability for damages directly. Therefore, the statement that incoterms designate the place of delivery for jurisdiction aligns with their practical role.
