According to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a buyer has the right to reject goods that do not conform to the contract. In this case, the hat delivered was not the color or size that Billy Bob ordered, thus he has the right to reject the hat as nonconforming. The fact that he paid for it does not constitute acceptance, and he does not have a duty to inspect the goods before accepting them. Additionally, color and size can be considered substantial impairments that constitute nonconformity. Billy Bob may return the hat and should not be responsible for any costs related to the return since the error was the seller's fault.
