Consumer Warranty Law: 8.2.4 Buyer’s Acceptance by Acts Inconsistent with Seller’s Ownership
Section 2-606(1)(c) provides that acceptance occurs when the buyer “does any act inconsistent with the seller’s ownership.” Whether an act is inconsistent with the seller’s ownership depends on the context, and especially on whether the buyers knew of the nonconformity beforehand.84 Although payment alone is not acceptance,85 payment after the buyer knows of the defects may show acceptance.86
