Art. 370 Approval of the work
1 Once the completed work has been expressly or tacitly approved by the customer, the contractor is released from all liability save in respect of defects which could not have been discovered on acceptance and normal inspection or were deliberately concealed by the contractor.
2 Tacit approval is presumed where the customer omits to inspect the work and give notice of defects as provided by law.
3 Where defects come to light only subsequently, the customer must notify the contractor as soon as he becomes aware of them, otherwise the work is deemed to have been approved even in respect of such defects.
