70A-2-708. Seller's damages for nonacceptance or repudiation.
(1) Subject to Subsection (2) and to the provisions of this chapter with respect to proof of
market price (Section 70A-2-723), the measure of damages for nonacceptance or repudiation by
the buyer is the difference between the market price at the time and place for tender and the
unpaid contract price together with any incidental damages provided in this chapter (Section
70A-2-710), but less expenses saved in consequence of the buyer's breach.
(2) If the measure of damages provided in Subsection (1) is inadequate to put the seller in
as good a position as performance would have done then the measure of damages is the profit
(including reasonable overhead) which the seller would have made from full performance by the
buyer, together with any incidental damages provided in this chapter (Section 70A-2-710), due
allowance for costs reasonably incurred and due credit for payments or proceeds of resale.
