Stat. § 12A:2-612","heading":"\"Installment contract\" ;  breach","body":"(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.\nL.1961, c. 120, s. 2-612.","path":["TITLE 12A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS"],"source_url":"https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/statutes/STATUTES-TEXT.zip","current_through":"P.L.2025, c.405, and J.R.22","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T17:54:13Z","sha256":"d7276cbc6ce009db35a66451f1b993273bd076aa67d01af6e0d73bced1242cb9","source_id":"us-nj","stale":true,"prev":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-12a-2-611","next":"us-nj/n.j.-stat.-12a-2-613"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
