(1) In rejecting goods, a lessee‘s failure to state a particular defect that is ascertainable by reasonable inspection precludes the lessee from relying on the defect to justify rejection or to establish default:
         (a) if, stated seasonably, the lessor or the supplier
    
could have cured it (Section 2A-513); or
        (b) between merchants if the lessor or the supplier
    
after rejection has made a request in writing for a full and final written statement of all defects on which the lessee proposes to rely.
    (2) A lessee’s failure to reserve rights when paying rent or other consideration against documents precludes recovery of the payment for defects apparent in the documents.
