Chapter IV: The seller's obligations

The seller is not bound to deliver the thing, if the buyer does not pay the price, and the seller has not granted him a time limit for payment.

Nor shall he be obliged to deliver, even if he had granted a delay for payment, if, since the sale, the buyer has fallen into bankruptcy or a state of insolvency, so that the seller is in imminent danger of losing the price; unless the buyer gives him security to pay on time.

The thing must be delivered in the state it is in at the time of the sale. Since that day, all the fruits belong to the purchaser.

The obligation to deliver the thing includes its accessories and everything that was intended for its perpetual use.

In the event that, in accordance with the preceding article, there is reason to increase the price due to overmeasurement, the purchaser has the option of either withdrawing from the contract or providing the additional price, and this with interest if he has kept the property.

In all cases where the purchaser has the right to withdraw from the contract, the seller is obliged to return to him, in addition to the price, if he has received it, the costs of that contract.
