Where a purchaser is late in taking delivery of the goods or does not pay the purchase price
where payment of the price and delivery should be simultaneously, the vendor shall, where the
goods are in his possession or under his control, take reasonable measures, having regard to the
circumstances, to ensure their safety.
He shall be entitled to keep the goods until the purchaser pays the agreed price and reimburses
the expenses incurred in preserving them.
