Print A seller delivers goods but wants to retain ownership until the buyer pays in full. Between the parties, the situation is clear.

Can you withdraw from the contract and demand your money back, or are you limited to a price reduction? The crucial distinction is whether the defect constitutes

Print Imagine buying a new car and immediately noticing a scratch on the paintwork when taking delivery. That is an obvious defect – something any reasonable person would notice right away.

At that moment, the key question arises – when exactly do you acquire rights from defective performance? The timing is crucial, because
