§ 26-1-2-602 — Manner and effect of rightful rejection

(1) Rejection of goods must be within a
reasonable time after their delivery or tender. It is ineffective unless the
buyer seasonably notifies the seller.
(2) Subject to the provisions of the sections on rejected goods (IC 26-1-2-603 and IC 26-1-2-604):
(a) after rejection, any exercise of ownership by the buyer with
respect to any commercial unit is wrongful as against the seller;
and
(b) if the buyer has before rejection taken physical possession of
goods in which he does not have a security interest under the
provisions of IC 26-1-2-711(3), he is under a duty after rejection
to hold them with reasonable care at the seller's disposition for a
time sufficient to permit the seller to remove them; but
(c) the buyer has no further obligations with regard to goods
rightfully rejected.
(3) The seller's rights with respect to goods wrongfully rejected are
governed by the provisions of IC 26-1-2-703 on seller's remedies in
general.
