Section 2513 - Right of buyer to inspection of goods

     § 2513.  Right of buyer to inspection of goods.
        (a)  General rule.--Unless otherwise agreed and subject to
     subsection (c), where goods are tendered or delivered or
     identified to the contract for sale, the buyer has a right
     before payment or acceptance to inspect them at any reasonable
     place and time and in any reasonable manner. When the seller is
     required or authorized to send the goods to the buyer, the
     inspection may be after their arrival.
        (b)  Expenses of inspection.--Expenses of inspection must be
     borne by the buyer but may be recovered from the seller if the
     goods do not conform and are rejected.
        (c)  Limitation on right of inspection prior to payment.--
     Unless otherwise agreed and subject to the provisions of this
     division on C.I.F. contracts (section 2321(3)), the buyer is not
     entitled to inspect the goods before payment of the price when
     the contract provides:
            (1)  for delivery "C.O.D." or on other like terms; or
            (2)  for payment against documents of title, except where
        such payment is due only after the goods are to become
        available for inspection.
        (d)  Agreement as to place and method of inspection.--A place
     or method of inspection fixed by the parties is presumed to be
     exclusive but unless otherwise expressly agreed it does not
     postpone identification or shift the place for delivery or for
     passing the risk of loss. If compliance becomes impossible,
     inspection shall be as provided in this section unless the place
     or method fixed was clearly intended as an indispensable
     condition failure of which avoids the contract.
