Under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, buyer is deemed to have accepted goods when he:

Section 42 deems the buyer to have accepted the goods "when he intimates to the seller that he has accepted them", when he does an act inconsistent with the seller's ownership after delivery, or when he keeps them beyond a reasonable time without rejecting them. Merely receiving or opening the goods, or paying part of the price, is not one of these.
