Buyer's Liability for Damages
If the seller suffers losses because of the buyer’s delay in payment, the buyer has to pay damages for losses. The seller has no liability for damages, if he/she manages to prove that the delay was due to a provision of law, general interruption of communications or payment services or other similar impediment like force majeure.
The seller is also entitled to damages for losses that he/she suffers because of the buyer’s failure to cooperate, or failure to collect or take over the goods provided that the contract or the circumstances indicate that it is of special interest to the seller that the goods are removed.If the buyer proves that the delay was due to an impediment beyond his/her control which he/she could not reasonably be expected to have taken into account, the buyer has, however, no liability for damages.
