2 Types of Performance: Actual and Attempted

1. Actual performance: the obligation exactly performed at the time-place-and-manner — the discharge's perfect form (Unit 7); 2. Attempted performance (tender): the offer of performance refused-or-not-received — the promisor ready-and-willing, the promisee's default: the tender's legal effect (the obligation's discharge-if-the-tender-valid — the refusal's risk-shift: the debtor freed from the interest-and- risk of the refused thing); 3. The subdivision's practical map: complete performance (the discharge); partial performance (the substantial-performance doctrine — the breach-or-division question: the divisible-and-indivisible contracts); defective performance (the breach-or-damages question — the non-conforming tender's rejection rights).
