Hello everyone,
I am currently having some discussions with the company that is building my house.
The purchase contract states that an amount X is due "upon" delivery of the construction folder, amount Y "upon" delivery of the windows, etc.
The company has now informed me that invoices can be issued in advance (i.e., when the service has not yet been provided). I was told that "upon" delivery means neither before nor after delivery, but exactly upon. That means I would have to transfer the money in advance so that the money is available on the day of delivery.
However, I say that this is not possible because I have no chance to react if the delivery date is delayed or if a defect occurs during acceptance.
Does anyone here know the current legal situation or have experience?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
