Section IX.
Contract Work.[1]

632.

A contract for contract work is where one party agrees to accomplish a work, and the other party agrees to pay him a compensation for the result of the work.

633.

The compensation is payable at the time of the delivery of the thing contracted for. If a delivery is not necessary, the provisions of Art. 624, 1 apply correspondingly.

634.

If there is a defect in the thing contracted for, the employer must fix a reasonable time and notify the contractor to make good the defect; but this does not apply, if the defect is not material, and the making it good would be excessively expensive.

The employer may in place of or in addition to the making good of the defect claim damages, in which case the provisions of Art. 533 apply correspondingly.

635.

If, because of a defect in the thing contracted for, the object of the contract cannot be accomplished, the employer may rescind the contract; but this does not apply to buildings and other structures upon land.
