What are the remedies for nonconformity in the sale of goods when the goods are rejected?

• A. Refund, Return, and Damages
• B. Injunction
• C. Punitive damages
• D. Specific performance

Answer: (A)

When goods are nonconforming and the buyer rejects them, the buyer’s typical remedies under the sale of goods are a refund of the price, return of the nonconforming goods, and damages caused by the breach. Under the UCC, a buyer who rejects can recover the money paid and must be allowed to return the goods to the seller, while also seeking damages for the breach, including incidental and consequential damages as appropriate, and the option to cover by purchasing substitute goods and seeking difference damages.

Injunction and punitive damages are not standard remedies for a breach of contract for the sale of goods, and specific performance is usually not the default remedy for rejected nonconforming goods unless the goods are truly unique and other remedies are inadequate.
