Waiver of lessee's objections.
Official statutory text
(a) General rule.--In rejecting goods, a lessee's failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default:
(1) if, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (section 2A513); or
(2) between merchants if the lessor or the supplier after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely.
(b) Payment against defective documents.--A lessee's failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents. (Apr. 16, 2008, P.L.57, No.13, eff. 60 days) 2008 Amendment. Act 13 amended subsec. (b).
