Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Where the work is so de­fect­ive or de­vi­ates from the con­trac­tu­al terms to such an ex­tent that the cus­tom­er has no use for it or can­not equit­ably be ex­pec­ted to ac­cept it, the cus­tom­er may re­fuse ac­cept­ance and, if the con­tract­or is at fault, seek dam­ages.

² In the case of minor de­fects in the work or only slight de­vi­ations from the con­trac­tu­al terms, the cus­tom­er may re­duce the price in pro­por­tion to the de­crease in its value or re­quire the con­tract­or to rec­ti­fy the work at his own ex­pense and to pay dam­ages if he was at fault, provided such rec­ti­fic­a­tion is pos­sible without ex­cess­ive cost to the con­tract­or.

³ In the case of work car­ried out on the cus­tom­er’s land or prop­erty which by its nature can­not be re­moved without dis­pro­por­tion­ate det­ri­ment to the con­tract­or, the cus­tom­er has only the rights stip­u­lated in para­graph 2.
