(5) The choice for annulment because of delay.

An unrestricted and simple contract requires that both the merchandise and the price must be at hand ready for delivery. If one party may refuse on his part the delivery, he must be made to do so but if he fails the other party can annul the contract and there is good legal ground for him to annul the contract even before forcing him after his refusal to the delivery. The right of annulling is not only good in buying and selling transactions; it is applicable to all transactions involving exchange of goods. In the buying and selling contract there is a certain right of annulling a contract that is applicable and it is called the right of annulling because of delayed delivery this right becomes applicable when a party sells the merchandise and has not yet received the price and himself has not given the merchandise to the buyer. When the buyer comes with the price, in this case the contract stands good and binding for three days, within this time if the buyer comes with the price he gets the merchandise but if he does not come the seller has the choice to annual the contract. If the merchandise is destroyed it is the responsibility, regardless, it takes place within three days the right was valid or after it becomes invalid.

CR (138) Apparently, receiving some portion of the price is like receiving nothing and this is true of the merchandise also.

CR (139) The three days duration are the three successive days with the two nights in the middle only. Half or portion of days could be completed from the fourth day as mentioned in rule 107.

CR (140) For the effectiveness of this right it is necessary that the parties must not have agreed on delayed delivery as a condition in the transaction, otherwise, this right will not exist.

CR (141) There is no doubt that this right becomes effective in the case of a transaction where the merchandise is an identified piece of goods but if the merchandise would be of general nature and one party promises to deliver it at a certain time, in this case it is a necessary precaution not to annul the contract after three days. This could only be done with agreement of both parties.

CR (142) In the case of perishable goods such as vegetables which could not be kept overnight, one may annul the contract when the night falls and if he did, he can do whatever he likes to the merchandise. This rules applies only to goods of specified nature

CR (143) This right itself could be annulled after three days but annulling during the three days or during the contract is open to objection, apparently, such annulment is effective. Apparently, this right cannot be annulled because of buyer's payment after three days before sellers annulling it or because of sellers demand for payment. This is dropped if the seller accepts the money from the buyer to finalize the transaction not to keep it for the buyer or to keep it for himself, as well as being authorized to use it. The intention of receiving money to finalize the transaction can be manifested by deeds or even by some signs.
