In the case prescribed in the main clause of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, if the buyer demands that the seller complete the non-conformity of performance by specifying a reasonable period of time but the non-conformity of performance is not completed within that period, the buyer may request a reduction of the price in proportion to the degree of non-conformity.
前条第一項本文に規定する場合において、買主が相当の期間を定めて履行の追完の催告をし、その期間内に履行の追完がないときは、買主は、その不適合の程度に応じて代金の減額を請求することができる。
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, in the following cases, a buyer in good faith may request a reduction of the price immediately without making demand referred to in that paragraph:
if it is impossible to complete the non-conformity of performance;
履行の追完が不能であるとき。
if the seller unequivocally manifests the intention to refuse to complete the non-conformity of performance;
売主が履行の追完を拒絶する意思を明確に表示したとき。
if, due to the nature of the contract or a manifestation of intention by the parties, the purpose of the contract is unable to be achieved unless the performance is carried out at a specific time on a specific date or within a certain period of time, and the seller fails to complete the non-conformity of the performance at the time or before the period expires; or
契約の性質又は当事者の意思表示により、特定の日時又は一定の期間内に履行をしなければ契約をした目的を達することができない場合において、売主が履行の追完をしないでその時期を経過したとき。
beyond the cases stated in the preceding items, it is obvious that the seller is unlikely to complete the non-conformity of the performance even if the buyer makes the demand referred to in the preceding paragraph.
If the non-conformity referred to in paragraph (1) is due to grounds attributable to the buyer, the buyer may not request a reduction of the price under the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs.
