Buyer's Right to Inspection of Goods
Official statutory text
(1) Unless otherwise agreed and subject to subsection (3),
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.
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 12A. Uniform Commercial Code Page 214
(3) Unless otherwise agreed and subject to the provisions of
this article on C.I.F. contracts (subsection (3) of Section 2-321),
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.
