What Constitutes Acceptance of Goods.

Known as the Uniform Commercial Code

The act spans §§ 7–7 (703 sections).

Applied in 2 court decisions — leading case 308 F. Supp. 2d 1293 - MONTGOMERY RUBBER AND GASKET CO., INC. v. Belmont MacHinery Co., Inc. (2004)

Most recently applied in 490 F. App'x 230 - James G. Rigby v. FIA Card Services, N.A. (September 2012)

(Acts 1965, No. 549, p. 811.)

(1) “Acceptance” of goods occurs when the buyer:

(a) After a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods, signifies to the seller that the goods are conforming or that he will take or retain them in spite of their nonconformity; or

(b) Fails to make an effective rejection (subsection (1) of Section 7-2-602), but such acceptance does not occur until the buyer has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect them; or

(c) Does any act inconsistent with the seller’s ownership; but if such act is wrongful as against the seller it is an acceptance only if ratified by him.

(2) Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit.
