## The Vendor Contract: the Sale Chapter

A contract with a supplier is written with the sale chapter of the Civil Code: under Article 477, under a sale contract the seller must transfer to the buyer ownership of property, the documents associated with it, and deliver the goods; the buyer must pay the agreed price and take delivery of the property. Where the price is not directly indicated, the parties may agree on the means of its determination. The rule of determination is fixed in the document itself.

A supply relationship is built on this construction: the transfer of ownership, the delivery of documents and the handing over of goods form a single chain of obligations, and drafting the contract depends precisely on the accuracy of these elements. Accuracy is required at every stage of performance.

### What is the seller’s main obligation?

Transfer of ownership, documents and goods for the agreed price.

### What is a legal defect?

A third-party right on the thing — ownership or a pledge.

### What if notice of a defect is late?

An entrepreneur buyer loses the claim, unless the seller knowingly kept silent.

### How does instalment supply work?

Goods first, price in parts at defined intervals.
