Oregon Statutes 79.0404 – UCC 9-404. Rights acquired by assignee; claims and defenses against assignee
(1) Unless an account debtor has made an enforceable agreement not to assert defenses or claims and subject to subsections (2) to (5) of this section, the rights of an assignee are subject to:
Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 79.0404
- Account debtor: means a person obligated on an account, chattel paper or general intangible. See Oregon Statutes 79.0102
- Consumer transaction: means a transaction in which:
(i) An individual incurs an obligation primarily for personal, family or household purposes;
(ii) A security interest secures the obligation; and
(iii) The collateral is held or acquired primarily for personal, family or household purposes. See Oregon Statutes 79.0102
- Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
- Health-care-insurance receivable: means an interest in or claim under a policy of insurance which is a right to payment of a monetary obligation for health-care goods or services provided. See Oregon Statutes 79.0102
- 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.
(a) All terms of the agreement between the account debtor and assignor and any defense or claim in recoupment arising from the transaction that gave rise to the contract; and
(b) Any other defense or claim of the account debtor against the assignor which accrues before the account debtor receives a notification of the assignment authenticated by the assignor or the assignee.
(2) Subject to subsection (3) of this section and except as otherwise provided in subsection (4) of this section, the claim of an account debtor against an assignor may be asserted against an assignee under subsection (1) of this section only to reduce the amount the account debtor owes.
(3) This section is subject to law other than this chapter which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family or household purposes.
(4) In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the account debtor’s obligation, law other than this chapter requires that the record include a statement to the effect that the account debtor’s recovery against an assignee with respect to claims and defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts paid by the account debtor under the record, and the record does not include such a statement, the extent to which a claim of an account debtor against the assignor may be asserted against an assignee is determined as if the record included such a statement.
(5) This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-insurance receivable. [2001 c.445 § 66]
