Art. 370 Bundesgesetz vom 30. März 1911 betreffend die Ergänzung des Schweizerischen Zivilgesetzbuches (OR)
OR; Zweite Abteilung: Die einzelnen Vertragsverhältnisse; Elfter Titel: Der Werkvertrag; B. Wirkungen; I. Pflichten des Unternehmers; 4. Haftung für Mängel; d. Genehmigung des Werkes
Art. 370 OR
Wird das abgelieferte Werk vom Besteller ausdrücklich oder stillschweigend genehmigt, so ist der Unternehmer von seiner Haftpflicht befreit, soweit es sich nicht um Mängel handelt, die bei der Abnahme und ordnungsmässigen Prüfung nicht erkennbar waren oder vom Unternehmer absichtlich verschwiegen wurden.
Stillschweigende Genehmigung wird angenommen, wenn der Besteller die gesetzlich vorgesehene Prüfung und Anzeige unterlässt.
Treten die Mängel erst später zu Tage, so muss die Anzeige sofort nach der Entdeckung erfolgen, widrigenfalls das Werk auch rücksichtlich dieser Mängel als genehmigt gilt.
