Except in the case of any products found to be nonconforming,
buyer must make payment of the purchase price within the time
allotted for payment even if buyer has not completed its inspection
of the products, but such payment shall not constitute acceptance
of the products or impair buyer's rights or remedies it may have
hereunder for nonconforming products.
