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

¹ Where the con­tract­or does not be­gin the work on time or delays its pro­duc­tion in breach of con­tract or, through no fault of the cus­tom­er, falls so far be­hind that there is no longer any pro­spect of com­plet­ing the work on time, the cus­tom­er is en­titled to with­draw from the con­tract without wait­ing for the agreed de­liv­ery date.

² Where dur­ing the pro­duc­tion of the work it be­comes evid­ent that, through the fault of the con­tract­or, the work will be pro­duced in a man­ner that is de­fect­ive or oth­er­wise con­trary to the con­tract, the cus­tom­er may set the con­tract­or or have the con­tract­or set an ap­pro­pri­ate time lim­it with­in which to take re­medi­al ac­tion and no­ti­fy him that any fail­ure to do so will res­ult in the hire of a third party to take such re­medi­al ac­tion or to com­plete the work at the risk and ex­pense of the con­tract­or.
