But the aggrieved party reinstates the contract if he accepts a nonconforming 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":["Title 13 - COMMERCIAL CODE","CHAPTER 26 BREACH, REPUDIATION AND EXCUSE"],"source_url":"https://www.palegis.us/statutes/consolidated/view-statute?txtType=HTM\u0026ttl=13\u0026div=0\u0026chpt=26\u0026sctn=12\u0026subsctn=0","current_through":"2025-12-01 (Statute Update stamp, 13 Pa.C.S.)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T16:31:03Z","sha256":"c2bded503052be0c06406eb7a77c58abfcd27dc5708d9517f51293b369c85812","source_id":"us-pa","stale":false,"prev":"us-pa/13-pa.c.s.-2611","next":"us-pa/13-pa.c.s.-2613"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
