If the object has been examined without being delivered and the buyer has not declared his acceptance within the agreed deadline, the buyer is deemed to have refused acceptance. The same rule shall be applied, if in the absence of an agreed deadline the buyer has not declared his acceptance within a reasonable deadline fixed by the seller.
中文原文 民法第386條
標的物經試驗而未交付者,買受人於約定期限內,未就標的物為承認之表示,視為拒絕;其無約定期限,而於出賣人所定之相當期限內,未為承認之表示者亦同。
