§12A-2-201.
§12A-2-201.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section a contract for the
sale of goods for the price of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) or more
is not enforceable by way of action or defense unless there is some
writing sufficient to indicate that a contract for sale has been made
between the parties and signed by the party against whom enforcement
is sought or by his authorized agent or broker. A writing is not
insufficient because it omits or incorrectly states a term agreed upon
but the contract is not enforceable under this paragraph beyond the
quantity of goods shown in such writing.
(2) Between merchants if within a reasonable time a writing 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 such party
unless written notice of objection to its contents is given within ten
(10) days after it is received.
(3) A contract which 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 which reasonably indicate that the
goods are for the buyer, has made either a substantial beginning of
their manufacture or commitments for their procurement; or
(b) if the party against whom enforcement is sought admits in his
pleading, testimony or otherwise in court that a contract for sale was
made, but the contract is not enforceable under this provision 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 (Section 2-606).
