  <level label="a">
    <text>Subject to subsection (b) of this section and § 22-705 of this subtitle, tender of a copy that is a material breach of contract permits the party to which tender is made to:</text>
    <level label="1">
      <text>Refuse the tender;</text>
    </level>
    <level label="2">
      <text>Accept the tender; or</text>
    </level>
    <level label="3">
      <text>Accept any commercially reasonable units and refuse the rest.</text>
    </level>
  </level>
  <level label="b">
    <text>In a mass-market transaction that calls for only a single tender of a copy, a licensee may refuse the tender if the tender does not conform to the contract.</text>
  </level>
  <level label="c">
    <text>Refusal of a tender is ineffective unless:</text>
    <level label="1">
      <text>It is made before acceptance;</text>
    </level>
    <level label="2">
      <text>It is made within a reasonable time after tender or completion of any permitted effort to cure; and</text>
    </level>
    <level label="3">
      <text>The refusing party seasonably notifies the tendering party of the refusal.</text>
    </level>
  </level>
  <level label="d">
    <text>Except in a case governed by subsection (b) of this section, a party that rightfully refuses tender of a copy may cancel the contract only if the tender was a material breach of the whole contract or the agreement so provides.</text>
