Under the Uniform Commercial Code, if the goods or tender of delivery fail in any respect to conform to the contract, the buyer or lessee has the right to accept the goods, reject the entire shipment, or accept part and reject part under which doctrine?

Select one:
a. Doctrine of Part Performance
b. Perfect Tender Doctrine
c. Doctrine of Stare Decisis
d. Doctrine of Worthier Title

Answer :

The B) Perfect Tender Doctrine under the Uniform Commercial Code allows the buyer or lessee to accept, reject, or accept part and reject part of the goods if they fail to conform to the contract in any respect.

This doctrine is a fundamental principle of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which governs the sale of goods. According to UCC Section 2-601, the buyer has the right to reject the entire shipment if the goods or tender of delivery fail in any respect to conform to the contract.

This is known as the Perfect Tender Rule, emphasizing that the goods must perfectly meet the terms and specifications agreed upon.

If the goods are non-conforming, the buyer can choose to either accept the goods, reject them entirely, or accept any commercial units and reject the rest, providing significant flexibility to the buyer in managing their contractual rights.
