Section 2--310. Open Time for Payment or Running of Credit; Authority to Ship Under Reservation  


Latest version.
  • Unless otherwise agreed
        (a)  payment  is  due  at  the time and place at which the buyer is to
      receive the goods even though the place of  shipment  is  the  place  of
      delivery; and
        (b)  if  the  seller  is authorized to send the goods he may ship them
      under reservation, and may tender the documents of title, but the  buyer
      may  inspect  the goods after their arrival before payment is due unless
      such inspection is inconsistent with the terms of the contract  (Section   2--513); and
        (c)  if  delivery  is authorized and made by way of documents of title
      otherwise than by subsection (b) then payment is due  at  the  time  and
      place at which the buyer is to receive the documents regardless of where
      the goods are to be received; and
        (d)  where  the  seller is required or authorized to ship the goods on
      credit the credit period runs from the time of shipment but  post-dating
      the  invoice  or  delaying  its  dispatch will correspondingly delay the
      starting of the credit period.
