FAQ
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a set of laws that provide legal rules and regulations governing commercial or business dealings and transactions.The code has the effect of law only when it is adopted by different states. The UCC has been adopted by all 50 states of the U.S, although with variations.
Contract law is governed by the common law and the Uniform Commercial Code "UCC." Common law governs contractual transactions with real estate, services, insurance, intangible assets and employment. UCC governs contractual transaction with goods and tangible objects (such as a purchase of a car).
Generally speaking, the UCC requires that any contract for the sale of goods with a price of $500 or more must be in writing.The written contract need not be detailed. In fact, even if it fails to include or incorrectly states various contract terms (for example, date of delivery; unit price), it is still enforceable.
The parties are almost always allowed to contract out of the UCC. If the merchants do discuss and agree to terms different from the UCC, then the parties' own terms will apply. The UCC takes a very pragmatic and common sense approach to commercial transactions.
Under California law, the seller has an affirmative duty to report any defects and the buyer does not have to ask about the conditions on the property to learn of such defects. Whether a defect is considered material depends on the characteristics of the property and the statements made by the buyer to the seller.
Article 2 of the UCC deals with the sale of goods. Goods means all things, including specially manufactured goods, which are tangible and moveable at the time of identification to the contract for sale. This includes unborn animals, growing crops and other identified things attached to realty.

'Goods' are also sometimes known as 'chattels.Under the UCC, a sale of goods is the transfer of title from seller to buyer for a price.
Under the UCC, a seller's primary obligation is "tender of delivery." In other words, delivering the goods to the buyer.In other cases, it may mean that the seller holds the goods where the buyer can take possession of them. Often the manner in which the goods are to be tendered is specified in the sales contract.
