\n(1) Where the contract requires payment before inspection nonconformity of the goods does not excuse the buyer from so making payment unless\n(a) the nonconformity appears without inspection; or\n(b) despite tender of the required documents the circumstances would justify injunction against honor under this chapter (G.S. 25-5-109(b)).\n(2) Payment pursuant to subsection (1) does not constitute an acceptance of goods or impair the buyer's right to inspect or any of his remedies. (1965, c. 700, s. 1; 1999-73, s. 3.)
