Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 1302.04, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.

§ 1302.04.

(A) Except as otherwise provided in this section a contract for the sale of goods for

the price of five hundred dollars or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense

unless there is some writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been

made between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought

or by his authorized agent or broker.  A writing is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed

upon but the contract is not enforceable under this division beyond the quantity of

goods shown in such writing. (B) Between merchants if within a reasonable time a writing in confirmation of the contract

and sufficient against the sender is received and the party receiving it has reason

to know its contents, it satisfies the requirements of division (A) of this section

against such party unless written notice of objection to its contents is given within

ten days after it is received. (C) A contract which does not satisfy the requirements of division (A) of this section

but which is valid in other respects is enforceable: (1) if the goods are to be specially manufactured for the buyer and are not suitable

for sale to others in the ordinary course of the seller's business and the seller,

before notice of repudiation is received and under circumstances which reasonably

indicate that the goods are for the buyer, has made either a substantial beginning

of their manufacture or commitments for their procurement;  or (2) if the party against whom enforcement is sought admits in his pleading, testimony,

or otherwise in court that a contract for sale was made, but the contract is not enforceable

under this provision beyond the quantity of goods admitted;  or (3) with respect to goods for which payment has been made and accepted or which have

been received and accepted in accordance with section 1302.64 of the Revised Code .
