HRS §490:2A-515

When a renter accepts leased goods

This section explains when a renter is considered to have accepted leased goods. Acceptance happens after a reasonable chance to inspect, if the renter signals the goods are okay or fails to reject them. Accepting part of a commercial unit means accepting the whole unit.

The statute, as written — Acceptance of goods

(a) Acceptance of goods occurs after the lessee has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods and: (1) The lessee signifies or acts with respect to the goods in a manner that signifies to the lessor or the supplier that the goods are conforming or that the lessee will take or retain them in spite of their nonconformity; or (2) The lessee fails to make an effective rejection of the goods (section 490:2A-509(b)). (b) Acceptance of a part of any commercial unit is acceptance of that entire unit.
