Du Louage d'Ouvrage et d'Industrie

Contract Law
Titre XXII: Du Contrat de Louage (On the Contract of Lease)
Chapitre II: Du Louage d'Ouvrage et d'Industrie (On the Hire of Work and Industry)

Les architectes et entrepreneurs sont responsables, pendant dix ans, des maisons ou bâtimens par eux construits à prix fait, lorsqu'ils ont péris en tout ou en partie par le vice de la construction, même par celui du sol.

Life lesson: Architects and builders are on the hook for ten years if their building collapses from construction defects — even bad soil.
Notes: Decennial liability (garantie décennale): 10-year strict liability for architects/contractors on fixed-price construction. Covers construction defects and soil defects. Major construction law principle.
