Ucc Sale Of Goods Statute Of Limitations in California

California’s statute of limitations for breach of a UCC sale of goods contract is governed by Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1, which establishes a two-year period for bringing an action. This rule applies to claims arising from the sale of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in California. The limitations period begins to run upon the accrual of the cause of action, which is generally when the breach occurs, regardless of when the buyer discovers it. The official source at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CCP&sectionNum=335.1 contains the exact statutory language, including any exceptions or tolling provisions that may apply. The worked example below demonstrates how this two-year period is calculated in practice. To estimate the deadline for a specific transaction, the DocketMath calculator can apply the relevant statute to the facts of the case.
