                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

MANNER AND EFFECT OF RIGHTFUL REJECTION (§ 8.2-602)

1. Rejection of goods must be within a reasonable time after their delivery or
tender. It is ineffective unless the buyer seasonably notifies the seller.

2. Subject to the provisions of the two following sections on rejected goods
(§§ 8.2-603 and 8.2-604),

   a. after rejection any exercise of ownership by the buyer with respect to any
   commercial unit is wrongful as against the seller; and

   b. if the buyer has before rejection taken physical possession of goods in
   which he does not have a security interest under the provisions of this title
   (subsection (3) of &#xA7; 8.2-711), he is under a duty after rejection to hold
   them with reasonable care at the seller&#8217;s disposition for a time
   sufficient to permit the seller to remove them; but

   c. the buyer has no further obligations with regard to goods rightfully
   rejected.

3. The seller&#8217;s rights with respect to goods wrongfully rejected are
governed by the provisions of this title on seller&#8217;s remedies in general
(&#xA7; 8.2-703).
