Bobby Fisher Inc. $($BFI$)$ agreed in writing to purchase $25,000$ plastic pellets from Zero Inc. for use in BFI$$s limited$-$edition chess set. The agreement states the following: FOB Zero Inc., delivery date of no later than $07/31/19,$ payment of $$25,000$ due $2/10$ net $30$ after invoice received, and defective pellets cannot exceed $1\%$ of the total shipped. Due to past dealings, Zero knows that BFI will not tolerate any exceptions to the defective provision and that significant defects will hinder BFI$$s ability to operate and meet all demands.

For this question, assume Zero actually sent nonconforming goods. May Zero cure?
