If the time for performance has not yet expired, the seller may seasonably notify the buyer of his intent to cure, and then make a conforming delivery provided that the seller had reasonable grounds for believing that the non-conforming tender would be acceptable. Is this statement correct? Explain your answer, including the applicable UCC sections.
Yes, the statement about the cure by the seller for non-conforming goods is right.
According to article 2, section 508, sub-section 1, and 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a seller can notify the buyer of the intent to cure or remedy the non-conforming goods by delivering conforming goods if the time in the contract has not yet expired. This performance by the seller can be done within the time of performance mentioned in the contract.
Sub-section 2 gives an additional time of performance to the seller if the buyer rejected the non-conforming goods that the seller believed would have been acceptable, and the seller had notified the buyer about the intent to remedy the non-conforming goods.
