HRS §490:2-606

When a buyer accepts delivered goods

Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗

This section explains the three ways a buyer accepts goods after delivery: saying they are okay, failing to reject them after a chance to inspect, or acting like the owner. Accepting part of a commercial unit means accepting the whole unit.

The statute, as written — What constitutes acceptance of goods

A copy, taken August 20, 2026. The version published by the Legislature is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.

(1) Acceptance of goods occurs when the buyer: (a) After a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods signifies to the seller that the goods are conforming or that he will take or retain them in spite of their nonconformity; or (b) Fails to make an effective rejection (subsection (1) of section 490:2-602), but such acceptance does not occur until the buyer has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect them; or (c) Does any act inconsistent with the seller's ownership; but if such act is wrongful as against the seller it is an acceptance only if ratified by him. (2) Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit.
