Stat. tit. 12A, § 12A-2A-516","heading":"Effect of Acceptance of Goods; Notice of Default;","body":"Burden of Establishing Default After Acceptance; Notice of Claim or\n\nLitigation to Person Answerable Over.\n\nEFFECT OF ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS; NOTICE OF DEFAULT;\n\nBURDEN OF ESTABLISHING DEFAULT AFTER ACCEPTANCE;\n\nNOTICE OF CLAIM OR LITIGATION TO PERSON\n\nANSWERABLE OVER\n\n(1) A lessee must pay rent for any goods accepted in accordance\n\nwith the lease contract, with due allowance for goods rightfully\n\nrejected or not delivered.\n\n(2) A lessee's acceptance of goods precludes rejection of the\n\ngoods accepted. In the case of a finance lease, if made with\n\nknowledge of a nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because\n\nof it. In any other case, if made with knowledge of a\n\nnonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it unless the\n\nacceptance was on the reasonable assumption that the nonconformity\n\nwould be seasonably cured. Acceptance does not of itself impair any\n\nother remedy provided by this article or the lease agreement for\n\nnonconformity.\n\n(3) If a tender has been accepted:\n\n(a) within a reasonable time after the lessee discovers or\n\nshould have discovered any default, the lessee shall\n\nnotify the lessor and the supplier, if any, or be\n\nbarred from any remedy against the party not notified;\n\n(b) except in the case of a consumer lease, within a\n\nreasonable time after the lessee receives notice of\n\nlitigation for infringement or the like (Section 2A-\n\n211 of this title) the lessee shall notify the lessor\n\nor be barred from any remedy over for liability\n\nestablished by the litigation; and\n\n(c) the burden is on the lessee to establish any default.\n\n(4) If a lessee is sued for breach of a warranty or other\n\nobligation for which a lessor or a supplier is answerable over the\n\nfollowing apply:\n\n(a) the lessee may give the lessor or the supplier, or\n\nboth, written notice of the litigation. If the notice\n\nstates that the person notified may come in and defend\n\nand that if the person notified does not do so that\n\nperson will be bound in any action against that person\n\nby the lessee by any determination of fact common to\n\nthe two litigations, then unless the person notified\n\nafter seasonable receipt of the notice does come in\n\nand defend that person is so bound.\n\n(b) the lessor or the supplier may demand in writing that\n\nthe lessee turn over control of the litigation\n\nincluding settlement if the claim is one for\n\ninfringement or the like (Section 2A-211 of this\n\ntitle) or else be barred from any remedy over. If the\n\ndemand states that the lessor or the supplier agrees\n\nto bear all expense and to satisfy any adverse\n\njudgment, then unless the lessee after seasonable\n\nreceipt of the demand does turn over control the\n\nlessee is so barred.\n\n(5) Subsections (3) and (4) of this section apply to any\n\nobligation of a lessee to hold the lessor or the supplier harmless\n\nagainst infringement or the like (Section 2A-211 of this title).","path":["OK Code","Title 12A"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os12A.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"2a58dcd308d1bbb000b77209bfcb57626dbffca5132686ce6f4cccfa3afa5de5","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12a-12a-2a-515","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-12a-12a-2a-517"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
