COVER
To protect or shelter; to make good; to insure. To
cover a check means to deposit sufficient funds in
a bank account to pay the amount written on a
check or checks.
The right of a purchaser to buy goods other
than those that were originally contracted for as a
remedy in the event of a breach of contract by the
seller.
In contract law concerning sales transac-
tions, the UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE pro-
vides that a buyer may use cover for protection
in an action for breach of a sales contract. The
person may, in GOOD FAITH, purchase substitute
goods when a seller violates their contract by
failure to deliver goods. The buyer may then
recover the difference between the original goods or contract price and the cost of cover.
