(2) Goods or conduct including any part of a performance are "conforming" or conform to the contract when they are in accordance with the obligations under the contract.  (3) "Termination" occurs when either party pursuant to a power created by agreement or law puts an end to the contract otherwise than for its breach. On "termination" all obligations which are still executory on both sides are discharged but any right based on prior breach or performance survives.  (4) "Cancellation" occurs when either party puts an end to the contract for breach by the other and its effect is the same as that of "termination" except that the cancelling party also retains any remedy for breach of the whole contract or any unperformed balance. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-106)

Goods to be severed from realty — recording. — (1) A contract for the sale of minerals or the like (including gas and oil) or a structure or its materials to be removed from realty is a contract for the sale of goods within this article if they are to be severed by the seller but until severance a purported present sale thereof which is not effective as a transfer of an interest in land is effective only as a contract to sell.  (2) A contract for the sale apart from the land of growing crops or other things attached to realty and capable of severance without material harm thereto but not described in subsection (1) or of timber to be cut is a contract for the sale of goods within this article whether the subject matter is to be severed by the buyer or by the seller even though it forms part of the realty at the time of contracting, and the parties can by identification effect a present sale before severance.  (3) The provisions of this section are subject to any third party rights provided by the law relating to realty records, and the contract for sale may be executed and recorded as a document transferring an interest in land and shall then constitute notice to third parties of the buyer's rights under the contract for sale. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-107, A.L. 1988 S.B. 583)  Effective 1-01-89

A writing is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this paragraph beyond the quantity of goods shown in such writing.  (2) Between merchants if within a reasonable time a writing in confirmation of the contract and sufficient against the sender is received and the party receiving it has reason to know its contents, it satisfies the requirements of subsection (1) against such party unless written notice of objection to its contents is given within ten days after it is received.  (3) A contract which does not satisfy the requirements of subsection (1) but which is valid in other respects is enforceable  (a) if the goods are to be specially manufactured for the buyer and are not suitable for sale to others in the ordinary course of the seller's business and the seller, before notice of repudiation is received and under circumstances which reasonably indicate that the goods are for the buyer, has made either a substantial beginning of their manufacture or commitments for their procurement; or  (b) if the party against whom enforcement is sought admits in his pleading, testimony or otherwise in court that a contract for sale was made but the contract is not enforceable under this provision beyond the quantity of goods admitted; or  (c) with respect to goods for which payment has been made and accepted or which have been received and accepted (section 400.2-606). ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-201)  (1979) Sale of used or second-hand goods is covered by provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code and an implied warranty of merchantability may arise.

Formation in general. — (1) A contract for sale of goods may be made in any manner sufficient to show agreement, including conduct by both parties which recognizes the existence of such a contract.  (2) An agreement sufficient to constitute a contract for sale may be found even though the moment of its making is undetermined.  (3) Even though one or more terms are left open a contract for sale does not fail for indefiniteness if the parties have intended to make a contract and there is a reasonably certain basis for giving an appropriate remedy. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-204)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-205. 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. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-205)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-206. 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. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-206)

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-207. 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. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-207)  (1975) Where seller acknowledged buyer's purchase order which did not agree to sell exactly what buyer offered to buy an acceptance was effected.

Effective - 28 Aug 1963   400.2-208. Course of performance or practical construction. — (1) Where the contract for sale involves repeated occasions for performance by either party with knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection to it by the other, any course of performance accepted or acquiesced in without objection shall be relevant to determine the meaning of the agreement.  (2) The express terms of the agreement and any such course of performance, as well as any course of dealing and usage of trade, shall be construed whenever reasonable as consistent with each other; but when such construction is unreasonable, express terms shall control course of performance and course of performance shall control both course of dealing and usage of trade (section 400.1-205).  (3) Subject to the provisions of section 400.2-209 on modification and waiver, such course of performance shall be relevant to show a waiver or modification of any term inconsistent with such course of performance. ­­-------- (L. 1963 p. 503 § 2-208)
