Civil Transactions Law

1. If a thing is destroyed or damaged prior to its delivery to the client due to a reason not attributable to the contractor, the contractor may not demand payment of the agreed-upon fee or reimbursement of the expenses incurred, unless the client was in breach of his obligation to take delivery of the work at the time of the destruction or damage. 2. If the materials are provided by the client and the thing is destroyed or damaged prior to its delivery due to a reason not attributable to the contractor, the client may not demand payment of the value of such materials from the contractor, unless the contractor, prior to the destruction or damage, was notified that he was in breach of his obligation to deliver the work and that it is not established that the thing would have been destroyed or damaged had he delivered it without breaching his obligation.
