Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
la réserve de la propriété
English translation:
retention of ownership/reservation of title
French term
la réserve de la propriété
I am stumped by the part: réserve de la propriété, in the following clause:
"L'ensemble de nos ventes, dans le cadre du présent contrat, se fera sous le régime de la réserve de la propriété, Celle que miss en place par la loi du 12 MAI 1980. "
This is what I've come up with thus far:
"As part of this contract, the whole of our sales will be carried out under the regime of title retention [or property retention?!], such as set up by the law of MAY 12TH, 1980."
Is 'réserve de la propriété' and réserve de propriété' one and the same?
Thanks for all your help.

Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
retention of ownership
"Goods remain the property of XXXX ..." is another comon construction.

: Indeed. Reservation of title: A sale of goods in which the seller retains title to the goods sold, or any products made from them, or the resulting sale proceeds, until the buyer pays for the goods. Chuck out that mistyped u though :-)
