Civil Transactions Law

1. A deposit paid at the time of concluding a contract shall mean that only the payer of the deposit has the right to withdraw from the contract and that, upon his withdrawal, he may not recover the deposited amount, unless agreed otherwise. 2. If the contracting parties do not set a deadline for withdrawal from the contract, the court shall set a deadline according to custom and the circumstances of the contract. 3. If the payer of the deposit remains silent until the expiration of the deadline or if he fails to perform his obligations prior to such expiration, he shall be deemed to have withdrawn from the contract.
