French Civil Code

Delivery is the conveyance of the thing sold into the power and possession of the buyer.

The obligation to deliver the buildings is fulfilled on the part of the seller when he has handed over the keys, if it is a building, or when he has handed over the title deeds.

The delivery of chattels is effected: Or by the handing over of the thing, Or by the handing over of the keys of the buildings containing them, Or even by the sole consent of the parties, if transportation of them cannot be effected at the time of the sale, or if the buyer already had them in his power on some other basis. .

The tradition of intangible rights takes place, either by the delivery of the titles, or by the use that the acquirer makes of them with the consent of the seller.

The costs of delivery shall be borne by the seller, and those of collection shall be borne by the buyer, unless otherwise agreed.

Delivery must be made at the place where, at the time of the sale, the thing which was the subject of the sale was, unless otherwise agreed.

If the seller fails to make delivery within the time agreed between the parties, the purchaser may, at his option, request that the sale be rescinded, or that he be given possession, if the delay is due solely to the seller.
