The consumer has the right to inspect before payment or acceptance, the inspection is explicitly states as "in any reasonable manner". That also means that the consumer can inspect for goods that are delivered, it is the preliminary step before accepting. Terms must be available before acceptance, the customers must have seen all the terms before they can accept the good, else even when a payment has occurred it is not considered accepted as the reasonable inspection is not over yet.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/buyers-performance-under-the-ucc.html|publisher=Nolo|title=What Is the Buyer's Performance Under the UCC?|date=17 May 2023|author1=David M.

This section makes that part explicit in § 2-606-1b as "such acceptance does not occur until the buyer has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect them".

====§ 2-607: Effect of Acceptance<ref>https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/2/2-607</ref>====

Once this reasonable inspection did take place, then the buyer can decide to accept it, which comes with the obligation to pay.
