Buyer's Failure to Timely Report Defects Bars Contract Rescission

The dispute arose from a contract for the sale of goods where the buyer subsequently alleged that the delivered items were defective, leading to a demand for rescission of the sale and damages. The lower court rejected the buyer's claim, finding that the buyer had either accepted the goods without valid reservation or failed to timely report the alleged defects according to the contract's stipulations or relevant commercial customs. The high court upheld this decision, reasoning that absent proof of the seller's bad faith or a clear contractual exemption, the buyer's failure to comply strictly with the established procedures for examining and denouncing defects within the prescribed time limits constituted a forfeiture of the right to seek remedies for apparent or readily discoverable non-conformity.
