(b) "Knowledge" means actual knowledge. "Knows" has a corresponding meaning.  (c) "Discover", "learn", or words of similar import refer to knowledge rather than to reason to know.  (d) A person "notifies" or "gives" a notice or notification to another person by taking such steps as may be reasonably required to inform the other person in ordinary course, whether or not the other person actually comes to know of it.  (e) Subject to subsection (f), a person "receives" a notice or notification when:  (1) it comes to that person's attention; or  (2) it is duly delivered in a form reasonable under the circumstances at the place of business through which the contract was made or at another location held out by that person as the place for receipt of such communications.

An organization exercises due diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the person conducting the transaction and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Due diligence does not require an individual acting for the organization to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual's regular duties or the individual has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 1-202, A.L. 2017 H.B. 34)

Effective - 28 Aug 2017   400.1-303. Course of performance, course of dealing, and usage of trade. — (a) A "course of performance" is a sequence of conduct between the parties to a particular transaction that exists if:  (1) the agreement of the parties with respect to the transaction involves repeated occasions for performance by a party; and  (2) the other party, with knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection to it, accepts the performance or acquiesces in it without objection.  (b) A "course of dealing" is a sequence of conduct concerning previous transactions between the parties to a particular transaction that is fairly to be regarded as establishing a common basis of understanding for interpreting their expressions and other conduct.  (c) A "usage of trade" is any practice or method of dealing having such regularity of observance in a place, vocation, or trade as to justify an expectation that it will be observed with respect to the transaction in question. The existence and scope of such a usage shall be proved as facts. If it is established that such a usage is embodied in a trade code or similar record, the interpretation of the record is a question of law.  (d) A course of performance or course of dealing between the parties or usage of trade in the vocation or trade in which they are engaged or of which they are or should be aware is relevant in ascertaining the meaning of the parties' agreement, may give particular meaning to specific terms of the agreement, and may supplement or qualify the terms of the agreement. A usage of trade applicable in the place in which part of the performance under the agreement is to occur may be so utilized as to that part of the performance.  (e) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f), the express terms of an agreement and any applicable course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade shall be construed whenever reasonable as consistent with each other. If such a construction is unreasonable:  (1) express terms prevail over course of performance, course of dealing, and usage of trade;  (2) course of performance prevails over course of dealing and usage of trade; and  (3) course of dealing prevails over usage of trade.  (f) Subject to section 400.2-209, a course of performance is relevant to show a waiver or modification of any term inconsistent with the course of performance.  (g) Evidence of a relevant usage of trade offered by one party is not admissible unless that party has given the other party notice that the court finds sufficient to prevent unfair surprise to the other party. ­­-------- (L. 2017 H.B. 34)
