Liu orders a music player from Spark Appliances and intends on using it during her upcoming vacation. She notices a button missing from its console but accepts the order because she is leaving town the next day. Liu returns from her vacation a week later, takes the music player to Spark and rejects the purchase because of the missing button. Does Liu have a right to reject the purchase? Explain what is most likely to happen in this scenario.
What will be an ideal response?
Acceptance of goods occurs when a buyer, after having reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods, either indicates that he will take them or fails to reject them. To reject goods, the buyer must notify the seller of the rejection and specify the defect or nonconformity. If a buyer treats the goods as if he owns them, the buyer is considered to have accepted them (2-606). In Liu's case, her use of the music player for a week would be inconsistent with its rejection and the return of ownership to the seller.
