Statute of Limitations for UCC / Sale of Goods in Wyoming
5 min read
Published April 8, 2026 • By DocketMath Team
Overview
Wyoming uses a 4-year statute of limitations for many common contract-related claims, including disputes that fall under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) / sale of goods framework. In practice, DocketMath’s statute-of-limitations calculator is designed to apply Wyoming’s general/default limitations period when a more specific UCC sub-rule is not identified.
Because this page is a reference-page format, the goal is to help you quickly map key “date facts” (like delivery, breach, or tender/rejection) to a limitations window—without guessing which specific rule applies. This page uses the general baseline provided by Wyoming’s general limitations statute.
Note: This page covers the general/default period. If your situation involves a specialized provision (for example, a specific UCC remedy with its own limitations rule) the applicable deadline may be different. DocketMath’s output is a starting point for issue-spotting, not a substitute for legal review.
Limitation period
Answer: 4 years, under Wyoming’s general limitations statute, Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C).
Wyoming’s general rule in this category is:
- General SOL period: 4 years
- General statute: **Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C)
- Application to UCC / sale of goods: Use this as the default when no claim-type-specific UCC limitations sub-rule is identified.
What “4 years” means in real timelines
For sale-of-goods disputes, the length of the limitations period is fixed at 4 years under the general/default rule. But the deadline you get depends on which event you treat as the “anchor” for accrual/starting the clock—often one of these:
- Delivery date (when goods were delivered)
- Tender/rejection date (when goods were rejected or not accepted)
- Breach date (when performance did not occur as promised)
- Accrual/notice date (when the other side knew or reasonably should have known of the breach, depending on the claim theory)
In other words: the statute provides the duration (4 years); your particular facts and claim theory help determine the start date. DocketMath helps you model that by calculating the end date from the anchor date you enter.
Quick scenario check (same length, different anchor date)
These examples all use the same 4-year duration, but the end of the window changes because the anchor date changes:
| Scenario | Anchor date you use | End of SOL window (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Goods delivered late | 2022-06-15 | 2026-06-15 |
| Warranty dispute anchored to refusal/rejection | 2021-10-01 | 2025-10-01 |
| Contract performance failure anchored to non-tender | 2020-12-20 | 2024-12-20 |
If you change only the anchor date, the SOL deadline shifts accordingly by the same amount of time.
Key exceptions
Answer: No claim-type-specific sub-rule was found here; use the general/default 4-year period as the baseline.
This matters because UCC disputes sometimes involve limitations periods that vary based on the particular claim or statutory trigger. For this Wyoming reference, the only limitations rule confidently surfaced is the general/default period:
- General SOL: 4 years
- Rule used: **Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C)
- No additional UCC sub-rule included: “No claim-type-specific sub-rule was found.”
Practical exceptions you should still watch for
Even with the general 4-year baseline, your deadline can be affected by issues such as:
- Accrual disputes: The parties may disagree on the event that starts the clock (delivery vs. breach vs. tender/rejection vs. notice, depending on the theory).
- Tolling arguments: Certain circumstances may be asserted to pause or adjust the limitations period (for example, specific statutory tolling grounds).
- Procedural posture: Counterclaims and other filings can involve their own timing analysis.
Because this page focuses on the limitations period baseline, it does not attempt to exhaustively list every accrual/tolling nuance. Instead, it gives you a reliable starting window and a tool-driven way to test date outcomes.

For your records, here’s the information used for DocketMath-style calculations:
- Statute: **Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C)
- General limitation period: 4 years
- Use in this reference: Default when no claim-type-specific sub-rule is identified
Use the calculator
Use DocketMath’s statute-of-limitations calculator to convert your chosen anchor date into an estimated end-of-SOL deadline using Wyoming’s 4-year general rule from Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C).
How to think about inputs
When you run the calculator, you typically supply:
- Anchor date: the event date you believe starts the limitations clock (e.g., delivery, breach, tender/rejection, or another accrual trigger)
- Jurisdiction: **Wyoming (US-WY)
- Baseline rule: 4-year general period from **Wyo. Stat. § 1-3-105(a)(iv)(C)
How outputs change
- If you input an anchor date earlier, the computed end date moves earlier by roughly the same amount of time.
- If you input an anchor date later, the end date moves later.
- The calculation applies the 4-year duration; it does not independently decide what event legally starts accrual for your claim.
Caution: The calculator can’t determine the correct legal accrual trigger for your specific dispute. If you’re uncertain whether the relevant trigger is delivery, breach, tender/rejection, or notice, consider running multiple versions using different anchor dates supported by your timeline, and compare how the deadlines shift.
A practical workflow (fast and defensible)
- Identify the top 2–3 candidate anchor dates (for example: delivery, tender/refusal/rejection, and breach/nonperformance).
- Run DocketMath for each anchor date.
- Compare the resulting end dates.
- For risk-management, focus on the earliest plausible deadline supported by your facts and theory.
This helps avoid relying on a single chosen date without checking how the outcome changes.
