AK Stat § 45.12.516 (2019) (N/A)
Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) A lessee must pay rent for goods accepted in accordance with the lease contract, with due allowance for goods rightfully rejected or not delivered.

(b) A lessee's acceptance of goods precludes rejection of the goods accepted. In the case of a finance lease, if made with knowledge of a nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it. In any other case, if made with knowledge of a nonconformity, acceptance cannot be revoked because of it unless the acceptance was on the reasonable assumption that the nonconformity would be seasonably cured. Acceptance does not of itself impair another remedy provided by this chapter or the lease agreement for nonconformity.

(c) If a tender has been accepted

(1) within a reasonable time after the lessee discovers or should have discovered a default, the lessee shall notify the lessor and the supplier, if any, or be barred from a remedy against the party not notified;

(2) except in the case of a consumer lease, within a reasonable time after the lessee receives notice of litigation for infringement or the like under AS 45.12.211 the lessee shall notify the lessor or be barred from a remedy over for liability established by the litigation; and

(3) the burden is on the lessee to establish a default.

(d) If a lessee is sued for breach of a warranty or other obligation for which a lessor or a supplier is answerable over, the following apply:

(1) the lessee may give the lessor or the supplier, or both, written notice of the litigation; if the notice states that the person notified may come in and defend and that if the person notified does not do so that person will be bound in an action against that person by the lessee by a determination of fact common to the two litigations, then unless the person notified after seasonable receipt of the notice does come in and defend that person is so bound;

(2) the lessor or the supplier may demand in writing that the lessee turn over control of the litigation including settlement if the claim is one for infringement or the like under AS 45.12.211 or else be barred from a remedy over; if the demand states that the lessor or the supplier agrees to bear all expense and to satisfy an adverse judgment, then, unless the lessee after seasonable receipt of the demand does turn over control, the lessee is so barred.

(e) Subsections (c) and (d) of this section apply to an obligation of a lessee to hold the lessor or the supplier harmless against infringement or the like under AS 45.12.211.
