Terms Used In Tennessee Code 47-2-614

  • Buyer: means a person who buys or contracts to buy goods. See Tennessee Code 47-2-103
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
  • Seller: means a person who sells or contracts to sell goods. See Tennessee Code 47-2-103
(2) If the agreed means or manner of payment fails because of domestic or foreign governmental regulation, the seller may withhold or stop delivery unless the buyer provides a means or manner of payment which is commercially a substantial equivalent. If delivery has already been taken, payment by the means or in the manner provided by the regulation discharges the buyer’s obligation unless the regulation is discriminatory, oppressive or predatory.
