2020 Arkansas Code|Title 4 - Business and Commercial Law|Subtitle 1 - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 1 - General Provisions|Part 2 - General Definitions and Principles of Interpretation|§ 4-1-202. Notice — Knowledge

 (a) Subject to subsection (f), a person has “notice” of a fact if the person:  (1) has actual knowledge of it;  (2) has received a notice or notification of it; or  (3) from all the facts and circumstances known to the person at the time in question, has reason to know that it exists.    (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.    (f) Notice, knowledge, or a notice or notification received by an organization is effective for a particular transaction from the time it is brought to the attention of the individual conducting that transaction and, in any event, from the time it would have been brought to the individual's attention if the organization had exercised due diligence. 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.

 (1) Except as provided in this section, when a transaction bears a reasonable relation to this state and also to another state or nation, the parties may agree that the law either of this state or of such other state or nation shall govern their rights and duties. Failing such agreement this subtitle applies to transactions bearing an appropriate relation to this state.  (2) Where one of the following provisions of this subtitle specifies the applicable law, that provision governs and a contrary agreement is effective only to the extent permitted by the law (including the conflict of laws rules) so specified:    Rights of creditors against sold goods.

 (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) or elsewhere in this subtitle, the effect of provisions of this subtitle may be varied by agreement.  (b) The obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness, and care prescribed by this subtitle may not be disclaimed by agreement. The parties, by agreement, may determine the standards by which the performance of those obligations is to be measured if those standards are not manifestly unreasonable. Whenever this subtitle requires an action to be taken within a reasonable time, a time that is not manifestly unreasonable may be fixed by agreement.  (c) The presence in certain provisions of this subtitle of the phrase “unless otherwise agreed”, or words of similar import, does not imply that the effect of other provisions may not be varied by agreement under this section.
AR Code § 4-1-303 (2020)
2020 Arkansas Code|Title 4 - Business and Commercial Law|Subtitle 1 - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 1 - General Provisions|Part 3 - Territorial Applicability and General Rules|§ 4-1-303. Course of performance — Course of dealing — 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 must 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 must 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 § 4-2-209, 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.

(b) Any right or obligation declared by this subtitle is enforceable by action unless the provision declaring it specifies a different and limited effect.

 A document in due form purporting to be a bill of lading, policy or certificate of insurance, official weigher's or inspector's certificate, consular invoice, or any other document authorized or required by the contract to be issued by a third party is prima facie evidence of its own authenticity and genuineness and of the facts stated in the document by the third party.

2020 Arkansas Code|Title 4 - Business and Commercial Law|Subtitle 1 - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 1 - General Provisions|Part 3 - Territorial Applicability and General Rules|§ 4-1-308. Performance or acceptance under reservation of rights

 (a) A party that with explicit reservation of rights performs or promises performance or assents to performance in a manner demanded or offered by the other party does not thereby prejudice the rights reserved. Such words as “without prejudice,” “under protest,” or the like are sufficient.  (b) Subsection (a) does not apply to an accord and satisfaction.

2020 Arkansas Code|Title 4 - Business and Commercial Law|Subtitle 1 - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 1 - General Provisions|Part 3 - Territorial Applicability and General Rules|§ 4-1-309. Option to accelerate at will

 A term providing that one party or that party's successor in interest may accelerate payment or performance or require collateral or additional collateral “at will” or when the party “deems itself insecure,” or words of similar import, means that the party has power to do so only if that party in good faith believes that the prospect of payment or performance is impaired. The burden of establishing lack of good faith is on the party against which the power has been exercised.

2020 Arkansas Code|Title 4 - Business and Commercial Law|Subtitle 1 - Uniform Commercial Code|Chapter 1 - General Provisions|Part 3 - Territorial Applicability and General Rules|§ 4-1-310. Subordinated obligations

 An obligation may be issued as subordinated to performance of another obligation of the person obligated, or a creditor may subordinate its right to performance of an obligation by agreement with either the person obligated or another creditor of the person obligated. Subordination does not create a security interest as against either the common debtor or a subordinated creditor.
