§
2-201.
Formal Requirements; Statute of Frauds.
(1) A contract for the sale of goods for the price of
$5,000 or more is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless
there is some record sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has
been made between the parties and signed by the party against which
enforcement is sought or by the party's authorized agent or broker. A
record is not insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term
agreed upon but the contract is not enforceable under this subsection
beyond the quantity of goods shown in the record.
(2) Between merchants if within a reasonable time a
record in confirmation of the contract and sufficient against the sender
is received and the party receiving it has reason to know its contents,
it satisfies the requirements of subsection (1) against the recipient
unless notice of objection to its contents is given in a record within
10 days after it is received.
(3) A contract that does not satisfy the requirements
of subsection (1) but which is valid in other respects is enforceable:
(a)
if the goods are to be specially manufactured for the buyer and are not
suitable for sale to others in the ordinary course of the seller's
business and the seller, before notice of repudiation is received and
under circumstances that reasonably indicate that the goods are for the
buyer, has made either a substantial beginning of their manufacture or
commitments for their procurement;
(b)
if the party against which enforcement is sought admits in the party's
pleading, or in the party's testimony or otherwise under oath that a
contract for sale was made, but the contract is not enforceable under
this paragraph beyond the quantity of goods admitted; or
(c)
with respect to goods for which payment has been made and accepted or
which have been received and accepted (Sec. 2-606).
(4) A contract that is enforceable under this section
is not unenforceable merely because it is not capable of being performed
within one year or any other period after its making.
