IA Code § 554.2205 (2021)
2021 Iowa Code|Title XIII - COMMERCE|Chapter 554 - UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Section 554.2205 - Firm offers.

554.2205 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 months; but any such term of assurance on a form supplied by the offeree must be separately signed by the offeror.  [C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, §9930, 9932; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, §554.1, 554.3; C66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §554.2205]
IA Code § 554.2206 (2021)
2021 Iowa Code|Title XIII - COMMERCE|Chapter 554 - UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Section 554.2206 - Offer and acceptance in formation of contract.

554.2206 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 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.  [C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, §9930, 9932; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, §554.1, 554.3; C66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §554.2206]
IA Code § 554.2207 (2021)
2021 Iowa Code|Title XIII - COMMERCE|Chapter 554 - UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Section 554.2207 - Additional terms in acceptance or confirmation.

554.2207 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 this chapter.  [C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, §9930, 9932; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, §554.1, 554.3; C66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §554.2207]

IA Code § 554.2209 (2021)
2021 Iowa Code|Title XIII - COMMERCE|Chapter 554 - UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Section 554.2209 - Modification, rescission and waiver.

554.2209 Modification, rescission and waiver.   1. An agreement modifying a contract within this Article 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 Article (section 554.2201) 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 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.  [C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, §9990; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, §554.62; C66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §554.2209]  Referred to in §554.1303
IA Code § 554.2210 (2021)
2021 Iowa Code|Title XIII - COMMERCE|Chapter 554 - UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE|Section 554.2210 - Delegation of performance — assignment of rights.

554.2210 Delegation of performance — assignment of rights.   1. A party may perform that party’s duty through a delegate unless otherwise agreed or unless the other party has a substantial interest in having the 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 554.9406, 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 of risk imposed on the other party by the contract, or impair materially the other party’s 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 the assignor’s 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 subsection 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 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 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 the assignee 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 that party’s rights against the assignor demand assurances from the assignee (section 554.2609).

554.2302 Unconscionable contract or clause.   1. If the court as a matter of law finds the contract or any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made the court may refuse to enforce the contract, or it may enforce the remainder of the contract without the unconscionable clause, or it may so limit the application of any unconscionable clause as to avoid any unconscionable result.   2. When it is claimed or appears to the court that the contract or any clause thereof may be unconscionable the parties shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present evidence as to its commercial setting, purpose and effect to aid the court in making the determination.

554.2303 Allocation or division of risks.   Where this Article allocates a risk or a burden as between the parties “unless otherwise agreed”, the agreement may not only shift the allocation but may also divide the risk or burden.  [C66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §554.2303]

554.2304 Price payable in money, goods, realty, or otherwise.   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 that party 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 Article, but not the transfer of the interest in realty or the transferor’s obligations in connection therewith.  [C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, §9938; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, §554.10; C66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §554.2304]

554.2305 Open price term.   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 that party 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 that party’s option treat the contract as canceled or 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.  [C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, §9938, 9939; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, §554.10, 554.11; C66, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, §554.2305]

554.2306 Output, requirements and exclusive dealings.   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.

554.2307 Delivery in single lot or several lots.

The time for shipment or delivery or any other action under a contract if not provided in this Article 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.

Unless otherwise agreed   1. 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   2. if the seller is authorized to send the goods the seller 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 554.2513); and   3. if delivery is authorized and made by way of documents of title otherwise than by subsection 2 then payment is due regardless of where the goods are to be received at the time and place at which the buyer is to receive delivery of the tangible documents or 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   4. where the seller is required or authorized to ship the goods on credit the credit period runs from the time of shipment but post-dating the invoice or delaying its dispatch will correspondingly delay the starting of the credit period.

554.2311 Options and cooperation respecting performance.   1. An agreement for sale which is otherwise sufficiently definite (section 554.2204, subsection 3) 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 section 554.2319, subsection 1, paragraph “c”, and section 554.2319, subsection 3, 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 cooperation 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 that party’s own performance; and   b. may also either proceed to perform in any reasonable manner or after the time for a material part of that party’s own performance treat the failure to specify or to cooperate as a breach by failure to deliver or accept the goods.

Subject to subsection 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 subsection 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 or that the person selling is purporting to sell only such right or title as the person selling 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.

554.2313 Express warranties by affirmation, promise, description, sample.   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 the seller 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.

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.
