Statute Text
Buyers
right to inspection of goods.
(1) Unless otherwise agreed and subject to subsection (3) of this section,
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.
(2) 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.
(3) Unless
otherwise agreed and subject to the provisions of ORS 72.3210 (3) on C.I.F.
contracts, the buyer is not entitled to inspect the goods before payment of the
price when the contract provides:
(a) For delivery C.O.D.
or on other like terms; or
(b) For payment
against documents of title, except where such payment is due only after the
goods are to become available for inspection.
(4) 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. [1961 c.726 §72.5130]
