Legal Definitions - conforming goods

Conforming goods are goods that meet the specifications of a sales contract. When a buyer and seller enter into a purchase contract, the buyer specifies the nature and quantity of goods they need. The seller is then obligated to deliver the requested goods to the buyer for an agreed-upon price. If the delivered goods match the specifications outlined in the purchase contract, they are considered conforming goods.

• A buyer orders 100 red t-shirts from a seller. The seller delivers 100 red t-shirts to the buyer. These t-shirts are conforming goods because they match the specifications outlined in the purchase contract.
• A buyer orders 50 pounds of sugar from a seller. The seller delivers 50 pounds of salt to the buyer. These goods are non-conforming because they do not match the specifications outlined in the purchase contract.

These examples illustrate how conforming goods are goods that match the specifications outlined in a purchase contract. When a seller delivers goods that match the buyer's specifications, they have fulfilled their obligation under the contract.
