Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1). Where without fault of either party the agreed berthing, loading or unloading facilities fail or
an agreed type of carrier becomes unavailable or the agreed manner of delivery otherwise becomes

commercially impracticable but a commercially reasonable substitute is available such substitute
performance must be tendered and accepted.
(2). If the agreed means or manner of payment fails because of domestic or foreign governmental
regulation, the seller may withhold or stop delivery unless the buyer provides a means or manner of
payment which is commercially a substantial equivalent. If delivery has already been taken, payment
by the means or in the manner provided by the regulation discharges the buyer's obligations unless the
regulation is discriminatory, oppressive or predatory.
