N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code Law Section 2-A-514
Waiver of Lessee’s Objections

Section 2-A-514. Waiver of Lessee’s Objections.

(1)

In rejecting goods, a lessee’s failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default:

(a)

if, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier could have cured it (Section 2-A-513); or

(b)

between merchants if the lessor or the supplier after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely.

(2)

A lessee’s failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent on the face of the documents.
