Main Entry:
perfect tender ruleFunction:
noun : a rule that permits a buyer to reject goods if they or the tender of delivery fail to conform to contract in any respect
perfect tender rule is preserved to the extent of permitting a buyer to reject goods for any defects —Ramirez v. Autosport, 440 Atlantic Reporter, Second Series 1345 (1982)>
NOTE: The Uniform Commercial Code contains provisions for a seller's right to cure a nonconforming shipment that counteract the strictness of the perfect tender rule.
