Sofern nicht besondere Verhältnisse oder Verabredungen eine Ausnahme begründen, gehen Nutzen und Gefahr der Sache mit dem Abschlusse des Vertrages auf den Erwerber über.
Ist die veräusserte Sache nur der Gattung nach bestimmt, so muss sie überdies ausgeschieden und, wenn sie versendet werden soll, zur Versendung abgegeben sein.
Bei Verträgen, die unter einer aufschiebenden Bedingung abgeschlossen sind, gehen Nutzen und Gefahr der veräusserten Sache erst mit dem Eintritte der Bedingung auf den Erwerber über.
