CT Gen Stat § 42a-2-507 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-507 - Effect of seller's tender; delivery on condition.

 (1) Tender of delivery is a condition to the buyer's duty to accept the goods and, unless otherwise agreed, to his duty to pay for them. Tender entitles the seller to acceptance of the goods and to payment according to the contract.(2) Where payment is due and demanded on the delivery to the buyer of goods or documents of title, his right as against the seller to retain or dispose of them is conditional upon his making the payment due.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-507.)Since seller made a proper tender of delivery, it was entitled to acceptance of the goods and to payment according to the contract. 166 C. 280.

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-508 - Cure by seller of improper tender or delivery; replacement.

 (1) Where any tender or delivery by the seller is rejected because nonconforming and the time for performance has not yet expired, the seller may seasonably notify the buyer of his intention to cure and may then within the contract time make a conforming delivery.(2) Where the buyer rejects a nonconforming tender which the seller had reasonable grounds to believe would be acceptable with or without money allowance the seller may if he seasonably notifies the buyer have a further reasonable time to substitute a conforming tender.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-508.)Automobile dealer did have the right to attempt to cure any defects in automobile, but this opportunity does not last for an indefinite period of time. 172 C. 112.

CT Gen Stat § 42a-2-509 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-509 - Risk of loss in the absence of breach.

 (1) Where the contract requires or authorizes the seller to ship the goods by carrier (a) if it does not require him to deliver them at a particular destination, the risk of loss passes to the buyer when the goods are duly delivered to the carrier even though the shipment is under reservation, as provided in section 42a-2-505; but (b) if it does require him to deliver them at a particular destination and the goods are there duly tendered while in the possession of the carrier, the risk of loss passes to the buyer when the goods are there duly so tendered as to enable the buyer to take delivery.(2) Where the goods are held by a bailee to be delivered without being moved, the risk of loss passes to the buyer (a) on his receipt of possession or control of a negotiable document of title covering the goods; or (b) on acknowledgment by the bailee of the buyer's right to possession of the goods; or (c) after his receipt of possession or control of a nonnegotiable document of title or other direction to deliver in a record, as provided in subsection (4)(b) of section 42a-2-503.(3) In any case not within subsection (1) or (2), the risk of loss passes to the buyer on his receipt of the goods if the seller is a merchant; otherwise the risk passes to the buyer on tender of delivery.(4) The provisions of this section are subject to contrary agreement of the parties and to the provisions of section 42a-2-327 on sale on approval and section 42a-2-510 on effect of breach on risk of loss.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-509; P.A. 04-64, S. 52.)History: P.A. 04-64 amended Subsec. (2) by adding references to “possession or control of” document of title and replacing “written direction to deliver” with “direction to deliver in a record” to conform to revisions made to article 7 by the same act.Statute does not preclude application of doctrine of equitable estoppel; Subsec. (1) applies only if shipped by carrier; Subsec. (2) applies only if there is a bailment; if seller is merchant, then risk of loss passes on delivery under Subsec. (3); casual conversations are not specific enough in nature to constitute contrary agreements under Subsec. (4). 160 C. 468.

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-510 - Effect of breach on risk of loss.

 (1) Where a tender or delivery of goods so fails to conform to the contract as to give a right of rejection the risk of their loss remains on the seller until cure or acceptance.(2) Where the buyer rightfully revokes acceptance he may to the extent of any deficiency in his effective insurance coverage treat the risk of loss as having rested on the seller from the beginning.(3) Where the buyer as to conforming goods already identified to the contract for sale repudiates or is otherwise in breach before risk of their loss has passed to him, the seller may to the extent of any deficiency in his effective insurance coverage treat the risk of loss as resting on the buyer for a commercially reasonable time.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-510.)Cited. 199 C. 245.Subsec. (1):Delay in delivering hardware necessary to complete work, when no date for delivery specified, does not constitute breach. 160 C. 468.Subsec.

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-511 - Tender of payment by buyer; payment by check.

 (1) Unless otherwise agreed tender of payment is a condition to the seller's duty to tender and complete any delivery.(2) Tender of payment is sufficient when made by any means or in any manner current in the ordinary course of business unless the seller demands payment in legal tender and gives any extension of time reasonably necessary to procure it.(3) Subject to the provisions of section 42a-3-310 on the effect of an instrument on an obligation, payment by check is conditional and is defeated as between the parties by dishonor of the check on due presentment.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-511; May Sp. Sess. P.A. 92-11, S. 14, 70.)History: May Sp. Sess. P.A. 92-11 amended Subsec. (3) to replace reference to Sec. 42a-3-802 with Sec. 42a-3-310.

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-512 - Payment by buyer before inspection.

 (1) Where the contract requires payment before inspection nonconformity of the goods does not excuse the buyer from so making payment unless (a) the nonconformity appears without inspection; or (b) despite tender of the required documents the circumstances would justify injunction against honor under the provisions of subsection (b) of section 42a-5-109.(2) Payment pursuant to subsection (1) does not constitute an acceptance of goods or impair the buyer's right to inspect or any of his remedies.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-512; P.A. 96-198, S. 19.)History: P.A. 96-198 amended Subsec. (1) to replace reference to “section 42a-5-114” with “subsection (b) of section 42a-5-109”.

 (1) Unless otherwise agreed and subject to subsection (3), where goods are tendered or delivered or identified to the contract for sale, the buyer has a right before payment or acceptance to inspect them at any reasonable place and time and in any reasonable manner. When the seller is required or authorized to send the goods to the buyer, the inspection may be after their arrival.(2) Expenses of inspection must be borne by the buyer but may be recovered from the seller if the goods do not conform and are rejected.(3) Unless otherwise agreed and subject to the provisions of subsection (3) of section 42a-2-321 on C.I.F. contracts, the buyer is not entitled to inspect the goods before payment of the price when the contract provides (a) for delivery “C.O.D.” or on other like terms; or (b) for payment against documents of title, except where such payment is due only after the goods are to become available for inspection.(4) A place or method of inspection fixed by the parties is presumed to be exclusive but unless otherwise expressly agreed it does not postpone identification or shift the place for delivery or for passing the risk of loss. If compliance becomes impossible, inspection shall be as provided in this section unless the place or method fixed was clearly intended as an indispensable condition failure of which avoids the contract.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-513.)Cited. 183 C. 266; 189 C. 433.

 Subject to the provisions of section 42a-2-612 on breach in installment contracts and unless otherwise agreed under sections 42a-2-718 and 42a-2-719 on contractual limitations of remedy, if the goods or the tender of delivery fail in any respect to conform to the contract, the buyer may (a) reject the whole; or (b) accept the whole; or (c) accept any commercial unit or units and reject the rest.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-601.)Cited. 182 C. 561; 184 C. 10; 218 C. 297.Cited. 1 CA 249; Id., 690.

 (1) Rejection of goods must be within a reasonable time after their delivery or tender. It is ineffective unless the buyer seasonably notifies the seller.(2) Subject to the provisions of sections 42a-2-603 and 42a-2-604, (a) after rejection any exercise of ownership by the buyer with respect to any commercial unit is wrongful as against the seller; and (b) if the buyer has before rejection taken physical possession of goods in which he does not have a security interest under the provisions of subsection (3) of section 42a-2-711, he is under a duty after rejection to hold them with reasonable care at the seller's disposition for a time sufficient to permit the seller to remove them; but (c) the buyer has no further obligations with regard to goods rightfully rejected.(3) The seller's rights with respect to goods wrongfully rejected are governed by the provisions of section 42a-2-703 on seller's remedies in general.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-602.)Cited. 182 C. 561; 183 C. 266; 184 C. 10; 189 C. 433; 202 C. 277; 218 C. 297.Cited. 1 CA 249. Buyer's limited use of a copying machine for 2 months after it notified seller of its rejection, and the limited use by a charitable organization, were not sufficient to constitute acceptance of the machine or to affect the validity of the rejection. Id., 690.What is “a reasonable time” determined by circumstances and, where buyer never notified seller of rejection of goods but attempted to return them 1 month after delivery, trial court could reasonably conclude there was not timely rejection. 5 Conn.

CT Gen Stat § 42a-2-603 (2020)
2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-603 - Merchant buyer's duties as to rightfully rejected goods.

 (1) Subject to any security interest in the buyer as provided by subsection (3) of section 42a-2-711, when the seller has no agent or place of business at the market of rejection a merchant buyer is under a duty after rejection of goods in his possession or control to follow any reasonable instructions received from the seller with respect to the goods and in the absence of such instructions to make reasonable efforts to sell them for the seller's account if they are perishable or threaten to decline in value speedily. Instructions are not reasonable if on demand indemnity for expenses is not forthcoming.(2) When the buyer sells goods under subsection (1), he is entitled to reimbursement from the seller or out of the proceeds for reasonable expenses of caring for and selling them, and if the expenses include no selling commission then to such commission as is usual in the trade or if there is none to a reasonable sum not exceeding ten per cent on the gross proceeds.(3) In complying with this section the buyer is held only to good faith and good faith conduct hereunder is neither acceptance nor conversion nor the basis of an action for damages.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-603.)

Such action is not acceptance or conversion.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-604.)

 (1) The buyer's failure to state in connection with rejection a particular defect which is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes him from relying on the unstated defect to justify rejection or to establish breach (a) where the seller could have cured it if stated seasonably; or (b) between merchants when the seller has after rejection made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the buyer proposes to rely.(2) Payment against documents made without reservation of rights precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-605; P.A. 04-64, S. 53.)History: P.A. 04-64 amended Subsec.

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-606 - What constitutes acceptance of goods.

 (1) Acceptance of goods occurs when the buyer (a) after a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods signifies to the seller that the goods are conforming or that he will take or retain them in spite of their nonconformity; or (b) fails to make an effective rejection as provided by subsection (1) of section 42a-2-602, but such acceptance does not occur until the buyer has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect them; or (c) does any act inconsistent with the seller's ownership; but if such act is wrongful as against the seller it is an acceptance only if ratified by him.(2) Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-606.)Cited. 183 C. 266; 189 C. 433; 202 C. 277; 218 C. 297.

2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 42a - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 2 - Sales|Section 42a-2-607 - Effect of acceptance; notice of breach; burden of establishing breach after acceptance; notice of claim or litigation to person answerable over.

 (1) The buyer must pay at the contract rate for any goods accepted.(2) Acceptance of goods by the buyer precludes rejection of the goods accepted and if made with knowledge of a nonconformity cannot be revoked because of it unless the acceptance was on the reasonable assumption that the nonconformity would be seasonably cured but acceptance does not of itself impair any other remedy provided by this article for nonconformity.(3) Where a tender has been accepted (a) the buyer must within a reasonable time after he discovers or should have discovered any breach notify the seller of breach or be barred from any remedy; and (b) if the claim is one for infringement or the like and the buyer is sued as a result of such a breach he must so notify the seller within a reasonable time after he receives notice of the litigation or be barred from any remedy over for liability established by the litigation.(4) The burden is on the buyer to establish any breach with respect to the goods accepted.(5) Where the buyer is sued for breach of a warranty or other obligation for which his seller is answerable over (a) he may give his seller written notice of the litigation. If the notice states that the seller may come in and defend and that if the seller does not do so he will be bound in any action against him by his buyer by any determination of fact common to the two litigations, then unless the seller after seasonable receipt of the notice does come in and defend he is so bound. (b) If the claim is one for infringement or the like the original seller may demand in writing that his buyer turn over to him control of the litigation including settlement or else be barred from any remedy over and if he also agrees to bear all expense and to satisfy any adverse judgment, then unless the buyer after seasonable receipt of the demand does turn over control the buyer is so barred.(6) The provisions of subsections (3), (4) and (5) apply to any obligation of a buyer to hold the seller harmless against infringement or the like as provided by subsection (3) of section 42a-2-312.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-607.)Cited. 172 C. 112; 182 C. 561; 183 C. 266; 184 C. 10; 189 C. 433; 202 C 277; 218 C. 297.Cited. 1 CA 249; 27 CA 688.Subsec.

 (1) The buyer may revoke his acceptance of a lot or commercial unit whose nonconformity substantially impairs its value to him if he has accepted it (a) on the reasonable assumption that its nonconformity would be cured and it has not been seasonably cured; or (b) without discovery of such nonconformity if his acceptance was reasonably induced either by the difficulty of discovery before acceptance or by the seller's assurances.(2) Revocation of acceptance must occur within a reasonable time after the buyer discovers or should have discovered the ground for it and before any substantial change in condition of the goods which is not caused by their own defects. It is not effective until the buyer notifies the seller of it.(3) A buyer who so revokes has the same rights and duties with regard to the goods involved as if he had rejected them.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-608.)Cited. 172 C. 112; 182 C. 561; 184 C. 10; 189 C. 433; 202 C. 106; 203 C. 342; 205 C. 479; 212 C. 83; 218 C. 297.Cited. 1 CA 249; 27 CA 688.

 (1) A contract for sale imposes an obligation on each party that the other's expectation of receiving due performance will not be impaired. When reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to the performance of either party the other may in writing demand adequate assurance of due performance and until he receives such assurance may if commercially reasonable suspend any performance for which he has not already received the agreed return.(2) Between merchants the reasonableness of grounds for insecurity and the adequacy of any assurance offered shall be determined according to commercial standards.(3) Acceptance of any improper delivery or payment does not prejudice the aggrieved party's right to demand adequate assurance of future performance.(4) After receipt of a justified demand failure to provide within a reasonable time not exceeding thirty days such assurance of due performance as is adequate under the circumstances of the particular case is a repudiation of the contract.(1959, P.A. 133, S. 2-609.)Cited. 165 C. 300; 166 C. 280.
