K#111
Legal Definition
A buyer has a right to inspect goods before payment is made.
Plain English Explanation
The buyer’s right of inspection gives the buyer the chance to check out the goods before they have to hand over the payment. This right lets the buyer make sure everything is in order—whether the goods are what they ordered, meet the contract terms, and are free from any obvious defects.
This inspection can happen at any reasonable time and place, and the buyer gets to decide whether the goods pass the test. If they don’t, the buyer can reject them or ask for a fix before making payment.
This right is especially important because it gives the buyer leverage. Without it, the buyer might end up paying for goods that don’t meet expectations. So, the right of inspection helps keep things fair in the transaction.
