§490:2-512  Payment by buyer before
inspection.  (1)  Where the contract requires payment before inspection
nonconformity of the goods does not excuse the buyer from so making payment
unless:



(a) The nonconformity appears without inspection; or



(b) Despite tender of the required documents the
circumstances would justify injunction against honor under this chapter
(section 490:5-109(b)).



(2)  Payment pursuant to subsection (1) does
not constitute an acceptance of goods or impair the buyer's right to inspect or
any of the buyer's remedies. [L 1965, c 208, §2-512; HRS §490:2-512; am L 1996,
