About this statute

This section provides definitions of terms used in the Act, such as "buyer", "consumer", "goods", "services", "data message", "Minister", "warranty" and others. The seller must deliver the goods and the buyer must accept and pay for them; the supplier must perform the service and the buyer must accept and pay for the service, all according to the contract terms. Unless otherwise agreed, delivery of goods and payment of the price are concurrent conditions: the seller must be ready and willing to give possession of the goods in exchange for the price, and the buyer must be ready and willing to pay the price in exchange for possession of the goods. Default rules for place of delivery and certain seller obligations: default place is seller's business or residence if no contract; specific goods' location may be place of delivery; seller must send goods within a reasonable time if bound to send and no time fixed; seller bears expenses of putting goods into deliverable state unless agreed otherwise. Rules for buyer remedies when seller delivers the wrong quantity or goods of a different description: the buyer may reject or accept in part; if the buyer accepts the goods delivered they must pay at the contract rate.
