Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bill can revoke acceptance if the nonconformity (the cuffs) substantially impairs the value of the suit to him and if Rooks refuses to correct the issue. Acceptance can be revoked under the Uniform Commercial Code if the goods fail in some substantial way to conform to the contract and the buyer did not discover the non-conformity before acceptance, or if it was difficult to discover or was assured it would be corrected.
