CA Com Code § 2205 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 2 - Form, Formation and Readjustment of Contract|Section 2205.

2205.  (a) 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 months; but any such term of assurance on a form supplied by the offeree must be separately signed by the offeror.(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), when a merchant renders an offer, oral or written, to supply goods to a contractor licensed pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 7000) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code or a similar contractor’s licensing law of another state, and the merchant has actual or imputed knowledge that the contractor is so licensed, and that the offer will be relied upon by the contractor in the submission of its bid for a construction contract with a third party, the offer relied upon shall be irrevocable, notwithstanding lack of consideration, for 10 days after the awarding of the contract to the prime contractor, but in no event for more than 90 days after the date the bid or offer was rendered by the merchant; except that an oral bid or offer, when for a price of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) or more, shall be confirmed in writing by the contractor or his or her agent within 48 hours after it is rendered. Failure by the contractor to confirm such offer in writing shall release the merchant from his or her offer. Nothing in this subdivision shall prevent a merchant from providing that the bid or offer will be held open for less than the time provided for herein.(Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 537.)
CA Com Code § 2206 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 2 - Form, Formation and Readjustment of Contract|Section 2206.

2206.  (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 nonconforming 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 not notified of acceptance within a reasonable time may treat the offer as having lapsed before acceptance.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2207 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 2 - Form, Formation and Readjustment of Contract|Section 2207.

2207.  (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 this code.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2209 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 2 - Form, Formation and Readjustment of Contract|Section 2209.

2209.  (1) An agreement modifying a contract within this division 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 division (Section 2201) 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 subdivision (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.(Amended by Stats. 1975, Ch. 7.)
CA Com Code § 2210 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 2 - Form, Formation and Readjustment of Contract|Section 2210.

2210.  (1) A party may perform his or her duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having his or her original promisor perform or control the acts required by the contract. No delegation of performance relieves the party delegating of any duty to perform or any liability for breach.(2) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9406, unless otherwise agreed, all rights of either seller or buyer can be assigned except where the assignment would materially change the duty of the other party, or increase materially the burden or risk imposed on him or her by his or her contract, or impair materially his or her chance of obtaining return performance. A right to damages for breach of the whole contract or a right arising out of the assignor’s due performance of his or her entire obligation can be assigned despite agreement otherwise.(3) The creation, attachment, perfection, or enforcement of a security interest in the seller’s interest under a contract is not a transfer that materially changes the duty of, or increases materially the burden or risk imposed on, the buyer or impairs materially the buyer’s chance of obtaining return performance within the purview of subdivision (2) unless, and then only to the extent that, enforcement actually results in a delegation of material performance of the seller. Even in that event, the creation, attachment, perfection, and enforcement of the security interest remain effective, but (A) the seller is liable to the buyer for damages caused by the delegation to the extent that the damages could not reasonably be prevented by the buyer, and (B) a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate relief, including cancellation of the contract for sale or an injunction against enforcement of the security interest or consummation of the enforcement.(4) Unless the circumstances indicate the contrary, a prohibition of assignment of “the contract” is to be construed as barring only the delegation to the assignee of the assignor’s performance.(5) An assignment of “the contract” or of “all my rights under the contract” or an assignment in similar general terms is an assignment of rights and, unless the language or the circumstances (as in an assignment for security) indicate the contrary, it is a delegation of performance of the duties of the assignor, and its acceptance by the assignee constitutes a promise by him or her to perform those duties. This promise is enforceable by either the assignor or the other party to the original contract.(6) The other party may treat any assignment which delegates performance as creating reasonable grounds for insecurity and may, without prejudice to his or her rights against the assignor, demand assurances from the assignee (Section 2609).(Amended (as to be amended by Stats. 1999, Ch. 991) by Stats. 2000, Ch. 1003, Sec. 4. Effective January 1, 2001. Operative July 1, 2001, by Sec. 56 of Ch. 1003.)
CA Com Code § 2301 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2301.

2301.  The obligation of the seller is to transfer and deliver and that of the buyer is to accept and pay in accordance with the contract.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2303 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2303.

CA Com Code § 2304 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2304.

2304.  (1) The price can be made payable in money or otherwise. If it is payable in whole or in part in goods each party is a seller of the goods which he is to transfer.(2) Even though all or part of the price is payable in an interest in realty the transfer of the goods and the seller’s obligations with reference to them are subject to this division, but not the transfer of the interest in realty or the transferor’s obligations in connection therewith.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2305 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2305.

2305.  (1) The parties if they so intend can conclude a contract for sale even though the price is not settled. In such a case the price is a reasonable price at the time for delivery if(a) Nothing is said as to price; or(b) The price is left to be agreed by the parties and they fail to agree; or (c) The price is to be fixed in terms of some agreed market or other standard as set or recorded by a third person or agency and it is not so set or recorded. (2) A price to be fixed by the seller or by the buyer means a price for him to fix in good faith.(3) When a price left to be fixed otherwise than by agreement of the parties fails to be fixed through fault of one party the other may at his option treat the contract as canceled or himself fix a reasonable price.(4) Where, however, the parties intend not to be bound unless the price be fixed or agreed and it is not fixed or agreed there is no contract. In such a case the buyer must return any goods already received or if unable so to do must pay their reasonable value at the time of delivery and the seller must return any portion of the price paid on account.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2306 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2306.

2306.  (1) A term which measures the quantity by the output of the seller or the requirements of the buyer means such actual output or requirements as may occur in good faith, except that no quantity unreasonably disproportionate to any stated estimate or in the absence of a stated estimate to any normal or otherwise comparable prior output or requirements may be tendered or demanded.(2) A lawful agreement by either the seller or the buyer for exclusive dealing in the kind of goods concerned imposes unless otherwise agreed an obligation by the seller to use best efforts to supply the goods and by the buyer to use best efforts to promote their sale.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2307 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2307.

2307.  Unless otherwise agreed all goods called for by a contract for sale must be tendered in a single delivery and payment is due only on such tender but where the circumstances give either party the right to make or demand delivery in lots the price if it can be apportioned may be demanded for each lot.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2308 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2308.

2308.  Unless otherwise agreed(a) The place for delivery of goods is the seller’s place of business or if he has none his residence; but(b) In a contract for sale of identified goods which to the knowledge of the parties at the time of contracting are in some other place, that place is the place for their delivery; and(c) Documents of title may be delivered through customary banking channels.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2309 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2309.

2309.  (1) The time for shipment or delivery or any other action under a contract if not provided in this division or agreed upon shall be a reasonable time. (2) Where the contract provides for successive performances but is indefinite in duration it is valid for a reasonable time but unless otherwise agreed may be terminated at any time by either party.(3) Termination of a contract by one party except on the happening of an agreed event requires that reasonable notification be received by the other party and an agreement dispensing with notification is invalid if its operation would be unconscionable.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2310 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2310.

2310.  Unless otherwise agreed:(a) Payment is due at the time and place at which the buyer is to receive the goods even though the place of shipment is the place of delivery; and(b) If the seller is authorized to send the goods he may ship them under reservation, and may tender the documents of title, but the buyer may inspect the goods after their arrival before payment is due unless such inspection is inconsistent with the terms of the contract (Section 2513); and(c) If delivery is authorized and made by way of documents of title otherwise than by subdivision (b) then payment is due regardless of where the goods are to be received (i) at the time and place at which the buyer is to receive delivery of the tangible documents or (ii) at the time the buyer is to receive delivery of the electronic documents and at the seller’s place of business or if none, the seller’s residence; and(d) Where the seller is required or authorized to ship the goods on credit the credit period runs from the time of shipment but postdating the invoice or delaying its dispatch will correspondingly delay the starting of the credit period.(Amended by Stats. 2006, Ch. 254, Sec. 35. Effective January 1, 2007.)
CA Com Code § 2311 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2311.

2311.  (1) An agreement for sale which is otherwise sufficiently definite (subdivision (3) of Section 2204) to be a contract is not made invalid by the fact that it leaves particulars of performance to be specified by one of the parties. Any such specification must be made in good faith and within limits set by commercial reasonableness.(2) Unless otherwise agreed specifications relating to assortment of the goods are at the buyer’s option and except as otherwise provided in subdivisions (1)(c) and (3) of Section 2319 specifications or arrangements relating to shipment are at the seller’s option.(3) Where such specification would materially affect the other party’s performance but is not seasonably made or where one party’s co-operation is necessary to the agreed performance of the other but is not seasonably forthcoming, the other party in addition to all other remedies(a) Is excused for any resulting delay in his own performance; and(b) May also either proceed to perform in any reasonable manner or after the time for a material part of his own performance treat the failure to specify or to co-operate as a breach by failure to deliver or accept the goods.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2312 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2312.

2312.  (1) Subject to subdivision (2) there is in a contract for sale a warranty by the seller that(a) The title conveyed shall be good, and its transfer rightful; and(b) The goods shall be delivered free from any security interest or other lien or encumbrance of which the buyer at the time of contracting has no knowledge. (2) A warranty under subdivision (1) will be excluded or modified only by specific language or by circumstances which give the buyer reason to know that the person selling does not claim title in himself or that he is purporting to sell only such right or title as he or a third person may have.(3) Unless otherwise agreed a seller who is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the kind warrants that the goods shall be delivered free of the rightful claim of any third person by way of infringement or the like but a buyer who furnishes specifications to the seller must hold the seller harmless against any such claim which arises out of compliance with the specifications.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2313 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2313.

2313.  (1) Express warranties by the seller are created as follows:(a) Any affirmation of fact or promise made by the seller to the buyer which relates to the goods and becomes part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the affirmation or promise.(b) Any description of the goods which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the goods shall conform to the description. (c) Any sample or model which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the whole of the goods shall conform to the sample or model.(2) It is not necessary to the creation of an express warranty that the seller use formal words such as “warrant” or “guarantee” or that he have a specific intention to make a warranty, but an affirmation merely of the value of the goods or a statement purporting to be merely the seller’s opinion or commendation of the goods does not create a warranty.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2314 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2314.

2314.  (1) Unless excluded or modified (Section 2316), a warranty that the goods shall be merchantable is implied in a contract for their sale if the seller is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind. Under this section the serving for value of food or drink to be consumed either on the premises or elsewhere is a sale.(2) Goods to be merchantable must be at least such as(a) Pass without objection in the trade under the contract description; and(b) In the case of fungible goods, are of fair average quality within the description; and(c) Are fit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used; and(d) Run, within the variations permitted by the agreement, of even kind, quality and quantity within each unit and among all units involved; and(e) Are adequately contained, packaged, and labeled as the agreement may require; and(f) Conform to the promises or affirmations of fact made on the container or label if any.(3) Unless excluded or modified (Section 2316) other implied warranties may arise from course of dealing or usage of trade.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2315 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2315.

2315.  Where the seller at the time of contracting has reason to know any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the buyer is relying on the seller’s skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is unless excluded or modified under the next section an implied warranty that the goods shall be fit for such purpose.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2316 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2316.

2316.  (1) Words or conduct relevant to the creation of an express warranty and words or conduct tending to negate or limit warranty shall be construed wherever reasonable as consistent with each other; but subject to the provisions of this division on parol or extrinsic evidence (Section 2202) negation or limitation is inoperative to the extent that such construction is unreasonable.(2) Subject to subdivision (3), to exclude or modify the implied warranty of merchantability or any part of it the language must mention merchantability and in case of a writing must be conspicuous, and to exclude or modify any implied warranty of fitness the exclusion must be by a writing and conspicuous. Language to exclude all implied warranties of fitness is sufficient if it states, for example, that “There are no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face hereof.”(3) Notwithstanding subdivision (2)(a) Unless the circumstances indicate otherwise, all implied warranties are excluded by expressions like “as is,” “with all faults” or other language which in common understanding calls the buyer’s attention to the exclusion of warranties and makes plain that there is no implied warranty; and(b) When the buyer before entering into the contract has examined the goods or the sample or model as fully as he desired or has refused to examine the goods there is no implied warranty with regard to defects which an examination ought in the circumstances to have revealed to him; and(c) An implied warranty can also be excluded or modified by course of dealing or course of performance or usage of trade.(4) Remedies for breach of warranty can be limited in accordance with the provisions of this division on liquidation or limitation of damages and on contractual modification of remedy (Sections 2718 and 2719).(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
CA Com Code § 2317 (2021)
2021 California Code|Commercial Code - COM|DIVISION 2 - SALES|CHAPTER 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract|Section 2317.

2317.  Warranties whether express or implied shall be construed as consistent with each other and as cumulative, but if such construction is unreasonable the intention of the parties shall determine which warranty is dominant. In ascertaining that intention the following rules apply:(a) Exact or technical specifications displace an inconsistent sample or model or general language of description.(b) A sample from an existing bulk displaces inconsistent general language of description.(c) Express warranties displaced inconsistent implied warranties other than an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.(Enacted by Stats. 1963, Ch. 819.)
