Under the Perfect Tender Rule, which contracts does it apply to?

• A. Installment Contracts
• B. Common Law contracts
• C. Article 2 contracts
• D. All Contracts

Answer: (C)

This tests the scope of the Perfect Tender Rule. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Perfect Tender Rule applies to contracts for the sale of goods and requires that the goods conform to every term of the contract. If the delivered goods fail in any respect—whether in quality, quantity, description, or timing—the buyer typically may reject them or, if they choose to keep them, sue for damages. This strict standard is specific to Article 2 contracts, which govern the sale of goods, and does not apply to contracts for services or real property that are governed by traditional common law rules, where performance need not be perfect if substantial. So the rule is about goods contracts under Article 2, not all contracts.
