2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 13 - COMMERCIAL CODE|Chapter 2A5 - Default|Section 2A503 - Modification or impairment of rights and remedies

§ 2A503. Modification or impairment of rights and remedies.  (a) Provisions in lease agreements.--Except as otherwise provided in this division, the lease agreement may include rights and remedies for default in addition to or in substitution for those provided in this division and may limit or alter the measure of damages recoverable under this division.  (b) Specified remedy construed as optional.--Resort to a remedy provided under this division or in the lease agreement is optional unless the remedy is expressly agreed to be exclusive. If circumstances cause an exclusive or limited remedy to fail of its essential purpose, or provision for an exclusive remedy is unconscionable, remedy may be had as provided in this division.  (c) Consequential damages.--Consequential damages may be liquidated under section 2A504 (relating to liquidation of damages), or may otherwise be limited, altered or excluded unless the limitation, alteration or exclusion is unconscionable. Limitation, alteration or exclusion of consequential damages for injury to the person in the case of consumer goods is prima facie unconscionable but limitation, alteration or exclusion of damages where the loss is commercial is not prima facie unconscionable.  (d) Other rights and remedies unimpaired.--Rights and remedies on default by the lessor or the lessee with respect to any obligation or promise collateral or ancillary to the lease contract are not impaired by this division.  Cross References. Section 2A503 is referred to in sections 2A518, 2A519, 2A527 of this title.

§ 2A504. Liquidation of damages.  (a) General rule.--Damages payable by either party for default, or any other act or omission, including indemnity for loss or diminution of anticipated tax benefits or loss or damage to lessor's residual interest, may be liquidated in the lease agreement but only at an amount or by a formula that is reasonable in light of the then anticipated harm caused by the default or other act or omission.  (b) Invalidity or failure of purpose of remedy.--If the lease agreement provides for liquidation of damages, and such provision does not comply with subsection (a), or such provision is an exclusive or limited remedy that circumstances cause to fail of its essential purpose, remedy may be had as provided in this division.  (c) Right of lessee to restitution.--If the lessor justifiably withholds or stops delivery of goods because of the lessee's default or insolvency (section 2A525 or 2A526), the lessee is entitled to restitution of any amount by which the sum of his payments exceeds:  (1) the amount to which the lessor is entitled by virtue of terms liquidating the lessor's damages in accordance with subsection (a); or  (2) in the absence of those terms, 20% of the then present value of the total rent the lessee was obligated to pay for the balance of the lease term, or, in the case of a consumer lease, the lesser of such amount or $500.  (d) Restitution subject to offset.--A lessee's right to restitution under subsection (c) is subject to offset to the extent the lessor establishes:  (1) a right to recover damages under the provisions of this division other than subsection (a); and  (2) the amount or value of any benefits received by the lessee directly or indirectly by reason of the lease contract.

§ 2A505. Cancellation and termination and effect of  cancellation, termination, rescission or fraud on  rights and remedies.  (a) Cancellation of contract.--On cancellation of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged, but any right based on prior default or performance survives, and the canceling party also retains any remedy for default of the whole lease contract or any unperformed balance.  (b) Termination of contract.--On termination of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged, but any right based on prior default or performance survives.  (c) Damage claim for antecedent default.--Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of "cancellation," "rescission" or the like of the lease contract may not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of any claim in damages for an antecedent default.  (d) Misrepresentation or fraud.--Rights and remedies for material misrepresentation or fraud include all rights and remedies available under this division for default.  (e) Inconsistency of claim or remedy.--Neither rescission nor a claim for rescission of the lease contract nor rejection or return of the goods may bar or be deemed inconsistent with a claim for damages or other right or remedy.

13 PA Cons Stat § 2A506 (2021)
2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 13 - COMMERCIAL CODE|Chapter 2A5 - Default|Section 2A506 - Statute of limitations

§ 2A506. Statute of limitations.  (a) General rule.--An action for default under a lease contract, including breach of warranty or indemnity, must be commenced within four years after the cause of action accrued. By the original lease contract the parties may reduce the period of limitation to not less than one year.  (b) Accrual of cause of action.--A cause of action for default accrues when the act or omission on which the default or breach of warranty is based is or should have been discovered by the aggrieved party, or when the default occurs, whichever is later. A cause of action for indemnity accrues when the act or omission on which the claim for indemnity is based is or should have been discovered by the indemnified party, whichever is later.  (c) New action after termination of another.--If an action commenced within the time limited by subsection (a) is so terminated as to leave available a remedy by another action for the same default or breach of warranty or indemnity, the other action may be commenced after the expiration of the time limited and within six months after the termination of the first action unless the termination resulted from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for failure or neglect to prosecute.  (d) Unaffected laws and actions.--This section does not alter the law on tolling of the statute of limitations nor does it apply to causes of action that have accrued before this division becomes effective.

2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 13 - COMMERCIAL CODE|Chapter 2A5 - Default|Section 2A507 - Proof of market rent: time and place

§ 2A507. Proof of market rent: time and place.  (a) Rent prevailing; general rule.--Damages based on market rent (section 2A519 or 2A528) are determined according to the rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times specified in sections 2A519 (relating to lessee's damages for nondelivery, repudiation, default and breach of warranty in regard to accepted goods) and 2A528 (relating to lessor's damages for nonacceptance, failure to pay, repudiation or other default).  (b) Rent prevailing at other times.--If evidence of rent for the use of the goods concerned for a lease term identical to the remaining lease term of the original lease agreement and prevailing at the times or places described in this division is not readily available, the rent prevailing within any reasonable time before or after the time described or at any other place or for a different lease term which in commercial judgment or under usage of trade would serve as a reasonable substitute for the one described may be used, making any proper allowance for the difference, including the cost of transporting the goods to or from the other place.  (c) Admissibility of new prevailing rent.--Evidence of a relevant rent prevailing at a time or place or for a lease term other than the one described in this division offered by one party is not admissible unless and until he has given the other party notice the court finds sufficient to prevent unfair surprise.  (d) Admissibility of market quotations.--If the prevailing rent or value of any goods regularly leased in any established market is in issue, reports in official publications or trade journals or in newspapers or periodicals of general circulation published as the reports of that market are admissible in evidence. The circumstances of the preparation of the report may be shown to affect its weight but not its admissibility.

§ 2A508. Lessee's remedies.  (a) General rule.--If a lessor fails to deliver the goods in conformity to the lease contract (section 2A509) or repudiates the lease contract (section 2A402), or a lessee rightfully rejects the goods (section 2A509) or justifiably revokes acceptance of the goods (section 2A517), then with respect to any goods involved, and with respect to all of the goods if under an installment lease contract the value of the whole lease contract is substantially impaired (section 2A510), the lessor is in default under the lease contract and the lessee may:  (1) cancel the lease contract (section 2A505(a));  (2) recover so much of the rent and security as has been paid and is just under the circumstances;  (3) cover and recover damages as to all goods affected, whether or not they have been identified to the lease contract (sections 2A518 and 2A520), or recover damages for nondelivery (sections 2A519 and 2A520); and  (4) exercise any other rights or pursue any other remedies provided in the lease contract.  (b) Recovery of nondelivered goods.--If a lessor fails to deliver the goods in conformity to the lease contract or repudiates the lease contract, the lessee may also:  (1) if the goods have been identified, recover them  (section 2A522); or  (2) in a proper case, obtain specific performance or replevy the goods (section 2A521).  (c) Rights and remedies for other defaults.--If a lessor is otherwise in default under a lease contract, the lessee may exercise the rights and pursue the remedies provided in the lease contract, which may include a right to cancel the lease, and in section 2A519(c) (relating to lessee's damages for nondelivery, repudiation, default and breach of warranty in regard to accepted goods).  (d) Damages for breach of warranty.--If a lessor has breached a warranty, whether express or implied, the lessee may recover damages (section 2A519(d)).  (e) Security interest in goods in lessee's possession.--On rightful rejection or justifiable revocation of acceptance, a lessee has a security interest in goods in the lessee's possession or control for any rent and security that has been paid and any expenses reasonably incurred in their inspection, receipt, transportation, and care and custody and may hold those goods and dispose of them in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, subject to section 2A527(e) (relating to lessor's rights to dispose of goods).  (f) Deduction of damages from rent due.--Subject to the provisions of section 2A407 (relating to irrevocable promises: finance leases), a lessee, on notifying the lessor of the lessee's intention to do so, may deduct all or any part of the damages resulting from any default under the lease contract from any part of the rent still due under the same lease contract.

2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 13 - COMMERCIAL CODE|Chapter 2A5 - Default|Section 2A510 - Installment lease contracts: rejection and default

§ 2A510. Installment lease contracts: rejection and default.  (a) General rule.--Under an installment lease contract, a lessee may reject any delivery that is nonconforming if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of that delivery and cannot be cured or the nonconformity is a defect in the required documents; but if the nonconformity does not fall within subsection (b) and the lessor or the supplier gives adequate assurance of its cure, the lessee must accept that delivery.  (b) Impairment of contract as a whole.--Whenever nonconformity or default with respect to one or more deliveries substantially impairs the value of the installment lease contract as a whole, there is a default with respect to the whole. But, the aggrieved party reinstates the installment lease contract as a whole if the aggrieved party accepts a nonconforming delivery without seasonably notifying of cancellation or brings an action with respect only to past deliveries or demands performance as to future deliveries.

In the absence of those instructions, a merchant lessee shall make reasonable efforts to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the goods for the lessor's account if they threaten to decline in value speedily. Instructions are not reasonable if on demand indemnity for expenses is not forthcoming.  (b) Reimbursement of expenses and commission.--If a merchant lessee (subsection (a)) or any other lessee (section 2A512) disposes of goods, he is entitled to reimbursement either from the lessor or the supplier or out of the proceeds for reasonable expenses of caring for and disposing of the goods and, if the expenses include no disposition commission, to such commission as is usual in the trade, or if there is none, to a reasonable sum not exceeding 10% of the gross proceeds.  (c) Good faith conduct.--In complying with this section or section 2A512 (relating to lessee's duties as to rightfully rejected goods), the lessee is held only to good faith. Good faith conduct hereunder is neither acceptance or conversion nor the basis of an action for damages.  (d) Rights of good faith purchaser.--A purchaser who purchases in good faith from a lessee pursuant to this section or section 2A512 takes the goods free of any rights of the lessor and the supplier even though the lessee fails to comply with one or more of the requirements of this division.  Cross References. Section 2A511 is referred to in sections 2A305, 2A512 of this title.

(b) Substitution of conforming tender.--If the lessee rejects a nonconforming tender that the lessor or the supplier had reasonable grounds to believe would be acceptable with or without money allowance, the lessor or the supplier may have a further reasonable time to substitute a conforming tender if he seasonably notifies the lessee.  Cross References. Section 2A513 is referred to in section 2A514 of this title.

§ 2A514. Waiver of lessee's objections.  (a) General rule.--In rejecting goods, a lessee's failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default:  (1) if, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (section 2A513); or  (2) between merchants if the lessor or the supplier after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely.  (b) Payment against defective documents.--A lessee's failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents.

(b) Part of commercial unit.--Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit.

2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 13 - COMMERCIAL CODE|Chapter 2A5 - Default|Section 2A517 - Revocation of acceptance of goods

§ 2A517. Revocation of acceptance of goods.  (a) General rule.--A lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit whose nonconformity substantially impairs its value to the lessee if the lessee has accepted it:  (1) except in the case of a finance lease, on the reasonable assumption that its nonconformity would be cured and it has not been seasonably cured; or  (2) without discovery of the nonconformity if the lessee's acceptance was reasonably induced either by the lessor's assurances or, except in the case of a finance lease, by the difficulty of discovery before acceptance.  (b) Revocation of acceptance if lessor defaults under lease contract.--Except in the case of a finance lease that is not a consumer lease, a lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit if the lessor defaults under the lease contract and the default substantially impairs the value of that lot or commercial unit to the lessee.  (c) Revocation for other defaults by lessor.--If the lease agreement so provides, the lessee may revoke acceptance of a lot or commercial unit because of other defaults by the lessor.  (d) Time and notice of revocation.--Revocation of acceptance must occur within a reasonable time after the lessee discovers or should have discovered the ground for it and before any substantial change in condition of the goods which is not caused by the nonconformity. Revocation is not effective until the lessee notifies the lessor.
