Answer to Question 1
Acceptance
Acceptance occurs if, after a reasonable opportunity to inspect goods, a buyer signifies agreement that the goods are conforming, or otherwise acceptable, or fails to reject the goods, or if the buyer performs any act inconsistent with the seller's ownership, such as reselling the goods. In this case, Excalibur apparently manifested acceptance by paying Walker's invoices and reselling the goods. Despite these facts, the court ruled in favor of the defendants, and Walker appealed to a state intermediate appellate court, which vacated this judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings. Discussing the elements of a contract and its breach, the appellate court stated, n addition to the evidence of a written credit application and agreement between Standard Distributors and buyer, seller presented its invoices for goods buyer accepted following Standard Distributor's dissolution. . . . uyer received invoices and goods from seller with seller's name on the invoices, and . . . buyer continued to accept and pay for seller's goods, in whole or in part. Seller also introduced into evidence statements showing amounts due and owing for goods delivered to two of buyer's convenience stores in the amounts of 25,184.74 and 29,057.03, and Buyer admitted . . . it had not made those payments. . . . Buyer never indicated that the goods had not been delivered or were unsatisfactory, or that buyer did not owe the amounts reflected on the invoices and statements.
