HRS §490:2-606

When a buyer accepts delivered goods

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

(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.
