Acceptance is the act by which the client declares acceptance of the work, with or without reservations. It takes place at the request of the most diligent party, either amicably or, failing that, judicially. It is, in any event, pronounced by both parties.
The guarantee of perfect completion, to which the contractor is bound for a period of one year, from acceptance, extends to the repair of all defects indicated by the client, either by means of reservations mentioned in the acceptance report, or by written notification for those revealed after acceptance.
The time required to carry out the repair work is set by mutual agreement between the project owner and the contractor concerned.
In the absence of such an agreement or in the event of non-performance within the time limit set, the work may, after formal notice has remained unsuccessful, be carried out at the expense and risk of the defaulting contractor.
The performance of the work required under the guarantee of perfect completion is established by mutual agreement or, failing this, judicially.
The guarantee does not extend to work required to remedy the effects of normal wear and tear or use.
