Uniform Commercial Code
Rhode Island · Uniform Commercial Code · §§ 6A-12-101 to 6A-5-120 · 27 sections
Overview
The Uniform Commercial Code governs commercial transactions, with the provisions here covering the sale of goods and the treatment of certain electronic records that function as payment or account rights. For sales, it supplies default rules that fill gaps in contracts — price, delivery, timing, and payment terms — alongside requirements for contract formation and modification, a statute of frauds, limits on the use of extrinsic evidence, and rules on when acceptance with added terms creates a binding agreement. It also establishes warranties that attach to a sale, including title, express warranties created by description or sample, and implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, and it empowers courts to refuse enforcement of unconscionable terms.
