HRS §490:2-326
When buyers can return goods and who owns them
This section explains two types of deals where a buyer can return goods even if they are fine. If the buyer mainly uses the goods, it is a sale on approval. If the buyer mainly plans to resell them, it is a sale or return. Creditors' rights depend on which type it is.

The statute, as written — Sale on approval and sale or return; rights of creditors
(1) Unless otherwise agreed, if delivered goods may be returned by the buyer even though they conform to the contract, the transaction is: (a) A "sale on approval" if the goods are delivered primarily for use; and (b) A "sale or return" if the goods are delivered primarily for resale. (2) Goods held on approval are not subject to the claims of the buyer's creditors until acceptance; goods held on sale or return are subject to such claims while in the buyer's possession. (3) Any "or return" term of a contract for sale is to be treated as a separate contract for sale within the statute of frauds section of this article (section 490:2-201) and as contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the provisions of this article on parol or extrinsic evidence (section 490:2-202).
