Failure to take delivery of goods

44. Failure to take delivery of goods

When the seller is ready and willing to deliver the goods and requests the
buyer to take delivery and the buyer does not within a reasonable time after
such request take delivery of the goods he is liable to the seller for any
loss occasioned by his neglect or refusal to take delivery, and also for a
reasonable charge for the care and custody of the goods. Nothing in this
section shall affect the rights of the seller where the neglect or refusal of
the buyer to take delivery amounts to a repudiation of the contract.
