Buyer shall notify Seller if any items are rejected and, at Buyer's election and Seller's risk and expense, such items shall be held by Buyer or returned to Seller. At Buyer's option Buyer may: return the items and require Seller to correct and redeliver them; or correct the items itself or have the items corrected by a third party and recover the reasonable cost of such correction; or require Seller to deliver promptly to Buyer replacement items at Seller's risk and expense; or replace the items itself or procure replacement items from a third party and recover the reasonable cost of replacement from Seller; or reject the items and recover the purchase price in lieu of correction or replacement; or retain the items and reduce the contract price in lieu of correction or replacement.
