The contract is enforceable to the extent of the 30 cash registers that have been received and accepted because under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which governs sales of goods, a contract for the sale of goods over $500 must be in writing to be enforceable. However, if part of the goods have been received and accepted, the contract is enforceable for those goods even without a written agreement.
