Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) When the buyer fails to pay the price as it becomes due the seller may recover, together with any incidental damages under the
next section, the price
(a) of goods accepted or of conforming goods lost or damaged within a commercially reasonable time after risk of their loss has
passed to the buyer; and
(b) of goods identified to the contract if the seller is unable after reasonable effort to resell them at a reasonable price or the
circumstances reasonably indicate that such effort will be unavailing.
(2) Where the seller sues for the price he or she must hold for the buyer any goods which have been identified to the contract and are still
in his or her control except that if resale becomes possible he or she may resell them at any time prior to the collection of the judgment.
The net proceeds of any such resale must be credited to the buyer and payment of the judgment entitles him or her to any goods not resold.
(3) After the buyer has wrongfully rejected or revoked acceptance of the goods or has failed to make a payment due or has repudiated
(Section 2-610), a seller who is held not entitled to the price under this section shall nevertheless be awarded damages for non-acceptance
under the preceding section.
