Art. 370 Legge federale del 30 marzo 1911 di complemento del Codice civile svizzero (CO)
CO; Parte seconda: Dei singoli contratti; Titolo undecimo: Del contratto di appalto; B. Effetti; I. Obblighi dell’appaltatore; 4. Garanzia pei difetti; d. Approvazione dell’opera
Art. 370 CO
L’approvazione espressa o tacita dell’opera consegnata, da parte del committente, libera l’appaltatore della sua responsabilità, salvo che si tratti di difetti irriconoscibili coll’ordinaria verificazione all’atto del ricevimento o che l’appaltatore li abbia scientemente dissimulati.
Vi ha tacita approvazione, se il committente omette la verificazione e l’avviso previsti dalla legge.
Ove i difetti si manifestassero soltanto più tardi, dovrà esserne dato avviso tosto che siano scoperti; altrimenti l’opera si ritiene approvata nonostante i difetti stessi.
