1. Under a sale on approval unless otherwise agreed

   acceptance, and if the goods conform to the contract acceptance of any part is
   acceptance of the whole; and

   c. after due notification of election to return, the return is at the
   seller&#8217;s risk and expense but a merchant buyer must follow any
   reasonable instructions.

   goods while in substantially their original condition, but must be exercised
   seasonably; and
