Article 477: d. Acceptance of the work

Part Two: Special Obligational Relationships › Chapter Seven: Contract for Work

Upon express or implied acceptance of the work, the contractor shall be released from all liability; however, his liability shall continue for defects which he intentionally concealed and which could not be detected upon a proper examination.

If the employer neglects to examine the work and to give notice, he shall be deemed to have accepted the work.

If a defect in the work becomes apparent later, the employer shall notify the contractor of the situation without delay; if he fails to do so, he shall be deemed to have accepted the work.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 477 · d. Eserin kabulü

Eserin açıkça veya örtülü olarak kabulünden sonra, yüklenici her türlü sorumluluktan kurtulur; ancak, onun tarafından kasten gizlenen ve usulüne göre gözden geçirme sırasında fark edilemeyecek olan ayıplar için sorumluluğu devam eder.

İşsahibi, gözden geçirmeyi ve bildirimde bulunmayı ihmal ederse, eseri kabul etmiş sayılır.

Eserdeki ayıp sonradan ortaya çıkarsa işsahibi, gecikmeksizin durumu yükleniciye bildirmek zorundadır; bildirmezse eseri kabul etmiş sayılır.
