Sales

UCC Article 2 - applies to sale of goods. Goods are anything movable at the time of the contract 

Merchans is a person who regularly deals in goods of the type sold or holds themselves out as having skill or knowledge peculiar to practices or goods invovled.

Any definite expression of agreement, including conduct, that shows an intention to contract is sufficient.

Even if some terms are left open, a contract for the sale of goods will not fail.

A contract will not be enforced for more than the quantity specifice. Quantity is an essential term.

Where the parties communications do not reflect agreement, a contract may be formed by conduct, by delivery and accpetance of goods, or by payment and acceptance.

Between merchants, a confirmatory memorandum sufficient to bind the sender will bind the recpicient if: (1) it is sent within a reasonable time; (2) the recipient had reason to know its content; and (3) the recipient does not object wihtin 10 days of reciept. 

To be enforcable, contracts for sale of goods for $500 or more must be evidenced by a signed writing. 

Between merchants, additional terms become part of the contract unless: (i) they materally alter the original contract, (2) the offer limits acceptance to its terms; (3)  the offeror objects within a reasonable time

Parol Evidence rule - final terms may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement, but can be explained by course of performance, course of dealing, and usage in trade.

Course of dealing consists of a sequance of pervious conduct between the parties to a particular transaction, which is fairly to be regarded as establishing a common basis of undertstanding for interpreting their expression and other conduct

Talks about Price, quantity, delivery 

Modification of a contract for ale of goods does not require consideration to be binding, but does require good faith.

A written confirmation of an oral agreement that states different or add'l terms is deemed to be a proposal to modify the agreement. Between merchants, add'l terms in such a confirmation mondify the contract unless they are material or the other party objects to them within a reasonable time. Sales Ks can be modified without add'l consideration

A single installment can be rejected only if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of that installment and cannot be cured. An entire installment contract can be canceled only if the nonconforming installment substantially impairs the value of the whole contract.

To be conforming, goods must comply with express terms of the contract and any implied warranties.

In a single delivery contract, under the perfect tender rule, the buyer can inspect and reject a tender of delivery for failing to conform in any respet to the contract. The "perfect tender rule" does not apply to installment contracts.

Acceptance of goods occurs when the buyer indicates acceptance or does not act inconsidten with the seller's ownership of goods. Acceptance obligates the buyer to pay for accepted goods.

The right to revoke acceptance: the defect must materially impair the value of the goods, and the goods must have been accepted on a reasonable belief that the defect would be cured or because the defect was difficult to discover.

The buyer must give notice of revocation withint a reasonable time after discovering the nonconformity.
