Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the UCC, if the goods delivered are non-conforming, the buyer has the right to reject them. Here, the October shipment of badly defective tires is non-conforming, and ZYX Cycle Company can reject it if Supertread cannot provide a timely cure for the defects. However, treating the whole contract as breached would be excessive given that it is an installment contract, and Supertread may still be able to cure the non-conformity for future shipments.
