§ 34.1-2-602 — Manner and effect of rightful rejection

(a) Rejection of goods must be within a reasonable time
after their delivery or tender. It is ineffective unless the
buyer seasonably notifies the seller.
(b) Subject to the provisions of the two (2) following
sections on rejected goods (sections 34.1-2-603 and 34.1-2-604):
(i) After rejection any exercise of ownership by the
buyer with respect to any commercial unit is wrongful as against
the seller; and
(ii) If the buyer has before rejection taken physical
possession of goods in which he does not have a security
interest under the provisions of this article (section
34.1-2-711(c)), 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
(iii) The buyer has no further obligation with regard
to goods rightfully rejected.
(c) The seller's rights with respect to goods wrongfully
rejected are governed by the provisions of this article on
seller's remedies in general (section 34.1-2-703).
