There is nothing in my refrigerator that says that you are not the
owner of its contents. But that still does not make you so. First
you have to enter into an agreement with me. I can also unilaterally
grant you its possession under conditions, and then you are bound to
those conditions, or you don't become the owner. Take your pick.
