Abstract

The price is the amount of money that the buyer is obliged to pay to the seller in exchange for obtaining the sale, or that amount of money that the buyer must pay to the seller for the disposition that transferred the ownership of the item. The price in the sales contract is the object of the buyer's obligation, and therefore must be specified or assignable, in accordance with the general rules in the designation of the shop. This is confirmed when dealing with the contract of sale, in articles 423 and 424 of the Civil Code. It should be noted, however, that the concept of prix price is not limited to the narrow meaning of the price as the monetary consideration that the buyer commits to the seller in the contract of sale, but extends to the monetary consideration in any netting contract, and its name varies from contract to contract. This will become clear later when the position of the French judiciary, which used the term prix to express consideration in contracts that are not a sale.
