第120期|合同法:157-158条 买受人的检验和通知义务

Article 157 The buyer shall inspect the targeted matter after receiving it within the agreed period for inspection. If no period for inspection is stipulated, the buyer shall inspect the targeted matter in time.

Article 158 If the parties stipulate the period for inspection, the buyer shall, within the period for inspection, notify the seller of any unconformity of the targeted matter with the agreed quantity or quality. If the buyer is indolent to notify the seller thereof, the targeted matter shall be deemed in conformity with the agreed quantity or quality.

If the parties have not stipulated an inspection period, the buyer shall notify the seller of the unconformity of the targeted matter with the agreed quantity or quality within a reasonable period of time after it discovers or ought to discover the unconformity. If the buyer fails to notify the seller within a reasonable period of time or within two years after the date of taking delivery of the targeted matter, the targeted matter shall be deemed in conformity with the agreed quantity or quality. However, in the event that there is a quality guarantee period for the targeted matter, the quality guarantee period shall apply instead of the provisions on the two-year limit.

If the seller is aware or ought to be aware of the unconformity of the targeted matter with the stipulation, the buyer shall not be limited by the informing time limit stipulated in the preceding paragraphs.

第一百五十八条 当事人约定检验期间的，买受人应当在检验期间内将标的物的数量或者质量不符合约定的情形通知出卖人。买受人怠于通知的，视为标的物的数量或者质量符合约定。
当事人没有约定检验期间的，买受人应当在发现或者应当发现标的物的数量或者质量不符合约定的合理期间内通知出卖人。买受人在合理期间内未通知或者自标的物收到之日起两年内未通知出卖人的，视为标的物的数量或者质量符合约定，但对标的物有质量保证期的，适用质量保证期，不适用该两年的规定。

出卖人知道或者应当知道提供的标的物不符合约定的，买受人不受前两款规定的通知时间的限制。
