409.337 409.337 Priority of security interests in goods covered by certificate of title. If, while a security interest in goods is perfected by any method under the law of another jurisdiction, this state issues a certificate of title that does not show that the goods are subject to the security interest or contain a statement that they may be subject to security interests not shown on the certificate:
409.337(1) (1) A buyer of the goods, other than a person in the business of selling goods of that kind, takes free of the security interest if the buyer gives value and receives delivery of the goods after issuance of the certificate and without knowledge of the security interest; and
409.337(2) (2) The security interest is subordinate to a conflicting security interest in the goods that attaches, and is perfected under s. 409.311 (2), after issuance of the certificate and without the conflicting secured party's knowledge of the security interest.

409.338(1) (1) The security interest or agricultural lien is subordinate to a conflicting perfected security interest in the collateral to the extent that the holder of the conflicting security interest gives value in reasonable reliance upon the incorrect information; and
409.338(2) (2) A purchaser, other than a secured party, of the collateral takes free of the security interest or agricultural lien to the extent that, in reasonable reliance upon the incorrect information, the purchaser gives value and, in the case of tangible chattel paper, tangible documents, goods, instruments, or a security certificate, receives delivery of the collateral.

(3), the application of this chapter to a security interest in a deposit account does not affect a right of recoupment or setoff of the secured party as to a deposit account maintained with the secured party.
409.340(3) (3)When setoff ineffective. The exercise by a bank of a setoff against a deposit account is ineffective against a secured party that holds a security interest in the deposit account which is perfected by control under s. 409.104 (1) (c), if the setoff is based on a claim against the debtor.

RIGHTS OF 3RD PARTIES
409.401 409.401 Alienability of debtor's rights.
409.401(1) (1)Other law governs alienability; exceptions. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (2) and ss. 409.406, 409.407, 409.408, and 409.409, whether a debtor's rights in collateral may be voluntarily or involuntarily transferred is governed by law other than this chapter.
409.401(2) (2)Agreement does not prevent transfer. An agreement between the debtor and secured party which prohibits a transfer of the debtor's rights in collateral or makes the transfer a default does not prevent the transfer from taking effect.
409.401 History History: 2001 a. 10.
409.401 Annotation If a security agreement does not explicitly provide that transfer of collateral constitutes default and the secured party is not entitled to immediate possession, sale of collateral is not a conversion. Production Credit Association of Chippewa Falls v. Equity Coop Livestock, 82 Wis. 2d 5, 261 N.W.2d 127 (1978).
409.401 Annotation A condition imposed by a secured party on authorization to sell collateral is ineffective unless performance of the condition is within the buyer's control. Production Credit AssociatIon of Madison v. Nowatzski, 90 Wis. 2d 344, 280 N.W.2d 118 (1979).
409.401 Note NOTE: The above annotated materials cite to the pre-2001 Wis. Act 10 version of ch. 409.
409.402 409.402 Secured party not obligated on contract of debtor or in tort. The existence of a security interest, agricultural lien, or authority given to a debtor to dispose of or use collateral, without more, does not subject a secured party to liability in contract or tort for the debtor's acts or omissions.
409.402 History History: 2001 a. 10.
409.403 409.403 Agreement not to assert defenses against assignee.
409.403(1)(1)Value. In this section, “value" has the meaning provided in s. 403.303 (1).
409.403(2) (2)Agreement not to assert claim or defense. Except as otherwise provided in this section, an agreement between an account debtor and an assignor not to assert against an assignee any claim or defense that the account debtor may have against the assignor is enforceable by an assignee that takes an assignment:
409.403(2)(a) (a) For value;
409.403(2)(b) (b) In good faith;
409.403(2)(c) (c) Without notice of a claim of a property or possessory right to the property assigned; and
409.403(2)(d) (d) Without notice of a defense or claim in recoupment of the type that may be asserted against a person entitled to enforce a negotiable instrument under s. 403.305 (1).
409.403(3) (3)When sub. (2) not applicable. Subsection (2) does not apply to defenses of a type that may be asserted against a holder in due course of a negotiable instrument under s. 403.305 (2).
409.403(4) (4)Omission of required statement in consumer transaction. In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtor's obligation, law other than this chapter requires that the record include a statement to the effect that the rights of an assignee are subject to claims or defenses that the account debtor could assert against the original obligee, and the record does not include such a statement:
409.403(4)(a) (a) The record has the same effect as if the record had included such a statement; and
409.403(4)(b) (b) The account debtor may assert against an assignee those claims and defenses that would have been available if the record had included such a statement.
409.403(5) (5)Rule for individual under other law. This section is subject to law other than this chapter which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
409.403(6) (6)Other law not displaced. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (4), this section does not displace law other than this chapter which gives effect to an agreement by an account debtor not to assert a claim or defense against an assignee.
409.403 History History: 2001 a. 10.
409.404 409.404 Rights acquired by assignee; claims and defenses against assignee.
409.404(1) (1)Assignee's rights subject to terms, claims, and defenses; exceptions. Unless an account debtor has made an enforceable agreement not to assert defenses or claims, and subject to subs. (2) to (5), the rights of an assignee are subject to:
409.404(1)(a) (a) All terms of the agreement between the account debtor and assignor and any defense or claim in recoupment arising from the transaction that gave rise to the contract; and
409.404(1)(b) (b) Any other defense or claim of the account debtor against the assignor which accrues before the account debtor receives a notification of the assignment authenticated by the assignor or the assignee.
409.404(2) (2)Account debtor's claim reduces amount owed to assignee. Subject to sub. (3) and except as otherwise provided in sub. (4), the claim of an account debtor against an assignor may be asserted against an assignee under sub. (1) only to reduce the amount the account debtor owes.
409.404(3) (3)Rule for individual under other law. This section is subject to law other than this chapter which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.
409.404(4) (4)Omission of required statement in consumer transaction. In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtor's obligation, law other than this chapter requires that the record include a statement to the effect that the account debtor's recovery against an assignee with respect to claims and defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts paid by the account debtor under the record, and the record does not include such a statement, the extent to which a claim of an account debtor against the assignor may be asserted against an assignee is determined as if the record had included such a statement.
409.404(5) (5)Inapplicability to health care insurance receivable. This section does not apply to an assignment of a health care insurance receivable.
409.404 History History: 2001 a. 10.

409.405 409.405 Modification of assigned contract.
409.405(1) (1)Effect of modification on assignee. A modification of or substitution for an assigned contract is effective against an assignee if made in good faith.

409.406(2)(b) (b) To the extent that an agreement between an account debtor and a seller of a payment intangible limits the account debtor's duty to pay a person other than the seller and the limitation is effective under law other than this chapter; or
409.406(2)(c) (c) At the option of an account debtor, if the notification notifies the account debtor to make less than the full amount of any installment or other periodic payment to the assignee, even if:
409.406(2)(c)1. 1. Only a portion of the account, chattel paper, or payment intangible has been assigned to that assignee;
409.406(2)(c)2. 2. A portion has been assigned to another assignee; or

409.406(3) (3)Proof of assignment. Subject to sub. (8), if requested by the account debtor, an assignee shall seasonably furnish reasonable proof that the assignment has been made. Unless the assignee complies, the account debtor may discharge its obligation by paying the assignor, even if the account debtor has received a notification under sub. (1).

409.406(4)(b) (b) Provides that the assignment or transfer or the creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of the security interest may give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination, or remedy under the account, chattel paper, payment intangible, or promissory note.
409.406(5) (5)Inapplicability of sub. (4) to certain sales. Subsection (4) does not apply to the sale of a payment intangible or promissory note, other than a sale pursuant to a disposition under s. 409.610 or an acceptance of collateral under s. 409.620.
