If a seller tenders goods that do not conform to the contract, the buyer's right is to:

• A. Accept the goods and pay the contract price
• B. Reject the goods and sue for breach
• C. Immediately sue for any damages without inspection
• D. Elevate the price

Answer: (B)

When goods are tendered that don’t match the contract, the buyer has remedies for breach of the sale agreement. The core idea is that conforming tender is required, and a nonconforming delivery gives the buyer the option to reject the goods and sue for breach. Rejection lets the buyer avoid payment for these nonconforming goods and seek damages caused by the breach. There’s also usually a duty to inspect and to notify the seller of the nonconformity within a reasonable time, and the seller may have a chance to cure if that’s possible.

Why the other ideas don’t fit: paying the contract price despite nonconformity isn’t allowed because it would fulfill a defective tender and leave the buyer without recourse. Suing for damages without any inspection isn’t correct because the buyer typically has the right to inspect and must act within a reasonable time to reject if the goods don’t conform. Elevating the price has no basis as a remedy for nonconforming goods.
