"Financing agency" includes also a bank or other person who similarly intervenes between persons who are in the position of seller and buyer in respect to the goods (§ 6A-2-707).(3) "Between merchants" means in any transaction with respect to which both parties are chargeable with the knowledge or skill of merchants.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1; P.L. 2006, ch. 112, § 2; P.L. 2006, ch. 135, § 2.

2021 Rhode Island General Laws|Title 6A - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 6A-2 - Sales|Section 6A-2-105 - Definitions - Transferability - "Goods" - "Future" goods - "Lot" - "Commercial unit".

§ 6A-2-105. Definitions — Transferability — "Goods" — "Future" goods — "Lot" — "Commercial unit".(1) "Goods" means all things (including specially manufactured goods) which are movable at the time of identification to the contract for sale other than the money in which the price is to be paid, investment securities (chapter 8 of title 6A), and things in action. "Goods" also includes the unborn young of animals and growing crops and other identified things attached to realty as described in the section on goods to be severed from realty (§ 6A-2-107).(2) Goods must be both existing and identified before any interest in them can pass. Goods which are not both existing and identified are "future" goods. A purported present sale of future goods or of any interest therein operates as a contract to sell.(3) There may be a sale of a part interest in existing identified goods.(4) An undivided share in an identified bulk of fungible goods is sufficiently identified to be sold although the quantity of the bulk is not determined. Any agreed proportion of such a bulk or any quantity thereof agreed upon by number, weight, or other measure may to the extent of the seller's interest in the bulk, be sold to the buyer who then becomes an owner in common.(5) "Lot" means a parcel or a single article which is the subject matter of a separate sale or delivery, whether or not it is sufficient to perform the contract.(6) "Commercial unit" means such a unit of goods as by commercial usage is a single whole for purposes of sale and division of which materially impairs its character or value on the market or in use.

§ 6A-2-106. Definitions — "Contract" — "Agreement" — "Contract for sale" — "Sale" —"Present sale" — "Conforming" to contract — "Termination" — "Cancellation".(1) In this chapter unless the context otherwise requires "contract" and "agreement" are limited to those relating to the present or future sale of goods. "Contract for sale" includes both a present sale of goods and a contract to sell goods at a future time. A "sale" consists in the passing of title from the seller to the buyer for a price (§ 6A-2-401). A "present sale" means a sale which is accomplished by the making of the contract.(2) Goods or conduct including any part of a performance are "conforming" or conform to the contract when they are in accordance with the obligations under the contract.(3) "Termination" occurs when either party pursuant to a power created by agreement or law puts an end to the contract otherwise than for its breach. On "termination" all obligations which are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on prior breach or performance survives.(4) "Cancellation" occurs when either party puts an end to the contract for breach by the other and its effect is the same as that of "termination" except that the cancelling party also retains any remedy for breach of the whole contract or any unperformed balance.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1.

§ 6A-2-107. Goods to be severed from realty — Recording.(1) A contract for the sale of minerals (including oil and gas) or the like or a structure or its materials to be removed from realty is a contract for the sale of goods within this chapter if they are to be severed by the seller, but until severance a purported present sale thereof which is not effective as a transfer of an interest in land is effective only as a contract to sell.(2) A contract for the sale apart from the land of growing crops or other things attached to realty and capable of severance without material harm thereto but not described in subsection (1) or of timber to be cut is a contract for sale of goods within this chapter whether the subject matter is to be severed by the buyer or by the seller even though it forms part of the realty at the time of contracting, and the parties can by identification effect a present sale before severance.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1; P.L. 1979, ch. 172, § 2; P.L. 1985, ch. 150, § 7.

Formal requirements — Statute of frauds.(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a contract for the sale of goods for the price of five hundred dollars ($500) or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought or by his or her authorized agent or broker. A writing is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this paragraph beyond the quantity of goods shown in such writing.(2) Between merchants if within a reasonable time a writing in confirmation of the contract and sufficient against the sender is received and the party receiving it has reason to know its contents, it satisfies the requirements of subsection (1) against such party unless written notice of objection to its contents is given within ten (10) days after it is received.(3) A contract which does not satisfy the requirements of subsection (1) but which is valid in other respects is enforceable,(a) If the goods are to be specially manufactured for the buyer and are not suitable for sale to others in the ordinary course of the seller's business and the seller, before notice of repudiation is received and under circumstances which reasonably indicate that the goods are for the buyer, has made either a substantial beginning of their manufacture or commitments for their procurement; or(b) If the party against whom enforcement is sought admits in his or her pleading, testimony or otherwise in court that a contract for sale was made, but the contract is not enforceable under this provision beyond the quantity of goods admitted; or(c) With respect to goods for which payment has been made and accepted or which have been received and accepted (§ 6A-2-606).History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1.

§ 6A-2-204. Formation in general.(1) A contract for sale of goods may be made in any manner sufficient to show agreement, including conduct by both parties which recognizes the existence of such a contract.(2) An agreement sufficient to constitute a contract for sale may be found even though the moment of its making is undetermined.(3) Even though one or more terms are left open a contract for sale does not fail for indefiniteness if the parties have intended to make a contract and there is a reasonably certain basis for giving an appropriate remedy.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1.

§ 6A-2-205. Firm offers.An offer by a merchant to buy or sell goods in a signed writing which by its terms gives assurance that it will be held open is not revocable, for lack of consideration, during the time stated, or if no time is stated for a reasonable time, but in no event may such period of irrevocability exceed three (3) months; but any such term of assurance on a form supplied by the offeree must be separately signed by the offeror.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1.

§ 6A-2-206. Offer and acceptance in formation of contract.(1) Unless otherwise unambiguously indicated by the language or circumstances,(a) An offer to make a contract shall be construed as inviting acceptance in any manner and by any medium reasonable in the circumstances;(b) An order or other offer to buy goods for prompt or current shipment shall be construed as inviting acceptance either by a prompt promise to ship or by the prompt or current shipment of conforming or nonconforming goods, but such a shipment of non-conforming goods does not constitute an acceptance if the seller seasonably notifies the buyer that the shipment is offered only as an accommodation to the buyer.(2) Where the beginning of a requested performance is a reasonable mode of acceptance, an offeror who is notified of acceptance within a reasonable time may treat the offer as having lapsed before acceptance.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1.

§ 6A-2-207. Additional terms in acceptance or confirmation.(1) A definite and seasonable expression of acceptance or a written confirmation which is sent within a reasonable time operates as an acceptance even though it states terms additional to or different from those offered or agreed upon, unless acceptance is expressly made conditional on assent to the additional or different terms.(2) The additional terms are to be construed as proposals for addition to the contract. Between merchants such terms become part of the contract unless:(a) The offer expressly limits acceptance to the terms of the offer;(b) They materially alter it; or(c) Notification of objection to them has already been given or is given within a reasonable time after notice of them is received.(3) Conduct by both parties which recognizes the existence of a contract is sufficient to establish a contract for sale although the writings of the parties do not otherwise establish a contract. In such case the terms of the particular contract consist of those terms on which the writings of the parties agree, together with any supplementary terms incorporated under any other provisions of title 6A.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1; P.L. 1961, ch. 75, § 1.

§ 6A-2-209. Modification, rescission, and waiver.(1) An agreement modifying a contract within this chapter needs no consideration to be binding.(2) A signed agreement which excludes modification or rescission except by a signed writing cannot be otherwise modified or rescinded, but except as between merchants such a requirement on a form supplied by the merchant must be separately signed by the other party.(3) The requirements of the statute of frauds section of this chapter (§ 6A-2-201) must be satisfied if the contract as modified is within its provisions.(4) Although an attempt at modification or rescission does not satisfy the requirements of subsection (2) or (3) it can operate as a waiver.(5) A party who has made a waiver affecting an executory portion of the contract may retract the waiver by reasonable notification received by the other party that strict performance will be required of any term waived, unless the retraction would be unjust in view of a material change of position in reliance on the waiver.History of Section.P.L. 1960, ch. 147, § 1.
