New Jersey § 12a:2-503

§ 12a:2-503.

(1) Tender of delivery requires that the seller put and hold conforming goods at the

buyer's disposition and give the buyer any notification reasonably necessary to enable

him to take delivery. The manner, time and place for tender are determined by the agreement and this Chapter,

and in particular (a) tender must be at a reasonable hour, and if it is of goods they must be kept available

for the period reasonably necessary to enable the buyer to take possession; but (b) unless otherwise agreed the buyer must furnish facilities reasonably suited to

the receipt of the goods. (2) Where the case is within the next section respecting shipment tender requires

that the seller comply with its provisions. (3) Where the seller is required to deliver at a particular destination tender requires

that he comply with subsection (1) and also in any appropriate case tender documents

as described in subsections (4) and (5) of this section. (4) Where goods are in the possession of a bailee and are to be delivered without

being moved (a) tender requires that the seller either tender a negotiable document of title covering

such goods or procure acknowledgment by the bailee of the buyer's right to possession

of the goods; but (b) tender to the buyer of a non-negotiable document of title or of a record directing the bailee to deliver is sufficient tender unless the buyer seasonably objects, and except as otherwise provided in Chapter 9 receipt by the bailee of notification of the buyer's rights fixes those rights as

against the bailee and all third persons; but risk of loss of the goods and of any

failure by the bailee to honor the non-negotiable document of title or to obey the

direction remains on the seller until the buyer has had a reasonable time to present

the document or direction, and a refusal by the bailee to honor the document or to

obey the direction defeats the tender. (5) Where the contract requires the seller to deliver documents (a) he must tender all such documents in correct form, except as provided in this

Chapter with respect to bills of lading in a set (subsection (2) of 12A:2-323); and (b) tender through customary banking channels is sufficient and dishonor of a draft

accompanying or associated with the documents constitutes non-acceptance or rejection.
