N.D. Cent. Code § 41-02-60: (2-512) Payment by buyer before inspection

1.If the contract requires payment before inspection, nonconformity of the goods does not excuse the buyer from so making payment unless:

a.The nonconformity appears without inspection; or

b.Despite tender of the required documents the circumstances would justify injunction against honor under this title (section 41-05-09).

2.Payment pursuant to subsection 1 does not constitute an acceptance of goods or impair the buyer's right to inspect or any of the buyer's remedies.
