§ 2A505. Cancellation and termination and effect of

cancellation, termination, rescission or fraud on

rights and remedies.

(a) Cancellation of contract.--On cancellation of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged, but any right based on prior default or performance survives, and the canceling party also retains any remedy for default of the whole lease contract or any unperformed balance.

(b) Termination of contract.--On termination of the lease contract, all obligations that are still executory on both sides are discharged, but any right based on prior default or performance survives.

(c) Damage claim for antecedent default.--Unless the contrary intention clearly appears, expressions of "cancellation," "rescission" or the like of the lease contract may not be construed as a renunciation or discharge of any claim in damages for an antecedent default.

(d) Misrepresentation or fraud.--Rights and remedies for material misrepresentation or fraud include all rights and remedies available under this division for default.

(e) Inconsistency of claim or remedy.--Neither rescission nor a claim for rescission of the lease contract nor rejection or return of the goods may bar or be deemed inconsistent with a claim for damages or other right or remedy.
