Chapter 26 - Breach, Repudiation and Excuse
Section 2602 - Manner and effect of rightful rejection

     § 2602.  Manner and effect of rightful rejection.
        (a)  Time and notice of rejection.--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)  Duties of buyer after rightful rejection.--Subject to
     the provisions of sections 2603 (relating to duties of merchant
     buyer as to rightfully rejected goods) and 2604 (relating to
     options of buyer as to salvage of rightfully rejected goods):
            (1)  after rejection any exercise of ownership by the
        buyer with respect to any commercial unit is wrongful as
        against the seller; and
            (2)  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 division (section
        2711(c) (relating to security interest of buyer in rejected
        goods)), he is under a duty after rejection to hold them with
        reasonable care at the disposition of the seller for a time
        sufficient to permit the seller to remove them; but
            (3)  the buyer has no further obligations with regard to
        goods rightfully rejected.
        (c)  Rights of seller after wrongful rejection.--The rights
     of the seller with respect to goods wrongfully rejected are
     governed by the provisions of this division on remedies of
     seller in general (section 2703).
