(1) An ''installment contract'' is one which requires or authorizes the delivery of goods in separate lots to be separately accepted, even though the contract contains a clause ''each delivery is a separate contract'' or its equivalent.\n(2) The buyer may reject any installment which is non-conforming if the non-conformity substantially impairs the value of that installment and cannot be cured or if the non-conformity is a defect in the required documents; but if the non-conformity does not fall within subsection (3) and the seller gives adequate assurance of its cure the buyer must accept that installment.\n(3) Whenever non-conformity or default with respect to one or more installments substantially impairs the value of the whole contract there is a breach of the whole. But the aggrieved party reinstates the contract if he accepts a non-conforming installment without seasonably notifying of cancellation or if he brings an action with respect only to past installments or demands performance as to future installments.","path":["Part I","Title XV","Chapter 106","Article 2"],"source_url":"https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXV/Chapter106/Section2-612","current_through":"amendments passed before May 31, 2026","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-17T05:22:21Z","sha256":"dc993c0061ecd48c6477777643d744ad8a2202c9067f9dc6c1923795bc1f2e65","source_id":"us-ma","stale":false,"prev":"us-ma/mass.-gen.-laws-ch.-106-2-611","next":"us-ma/mass.-gen.-laws-ch.-106-2-613"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
