§ 4-2-326 — 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 chapter (§ 4-2-201 ) and as contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the provisions of this chapter on parol or extrinsic evidence (§ 4-2-202 ).
