The price must be fixed by the parties in a sum either certain or determinable through a method agreed by them. There is no sale unless the parties intended that a price be paid.

LA Civ Code art. 2465 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2465. Price left to determination by third person

2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2466. No price fixed by the parties

When the thing sold is a movable of the kind that the seller habitually sells and the parties said nothing about the price, or left it to be agreed later and they fail to agree, the price is a reasonable price at the time and place of delivery. If there is an exchange or market for such things, the quotations or price lists of the place of delivery or, in their absence, those of the nearest market, are a basis for the determination of a reasonable price. Nevertheless, if the parties intend not to be bound unless a price be agreed on, there is no contract without such an agreement. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.

If the parties so intend delivery may take place in another manner, such as by the seller's handing over to the buyer the key to the place where the thing is stored, or by negotiating to him a document of title to the thing, or even by the mere consent of the parties if the thing sold cannot be transported at the time of the sale or if the buyer already has the thing at that time. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2480 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2480. Retention of possession by seller, presumption of simulation

LA Civ Code art. 2485 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2485. Buyer's rights upon default, damages

When the seller fails to deliver or to make timely delivery of the thing sold, the buyer may demand specific performance of the obligation of the seller to deliver, or may seek dissolution of the sale. In either case, and also when the seller has made a late delivery, the buyer may seek damages. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2487 (2021)

If the extent delivered by the seller is greater than that specified in the contract, the buyer must pay to the seller a proportionate supplement of the price. The buyer may recede from the sale when the actual extent of the immovable sold exceeds by more than one twentieth the extent specified in the contract. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2494 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2494. Sale of immovable for lump price

When the sale of an immovable has been made with indication of the extent of the premises, but for a lump price, the expression of the measure does not give the seller the right to a proportionate increase of the price, nor does it give the buyer the right to a proportionate diminution of the price, unless there is a surplus, or a shortage, of more than one twentieth of the extent specified in the act of sale. When the surplus is such as to give the seller the right to an increase of the price the buyer has the option either to pay that increase or to recede from the contract. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2495 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2495. Sale of a certain and limited body or of a distinct object for a lump price

When an immovable described as a certain and limited body or a distinct object is sold for a lump price, an expression of the extent of the immovable in the act of sale does not give the parties any right to an increase or diminution of the price in case of surplus or shortage in the actual extension of the immovable. Amended by Acts 1871, No. 87; Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.

The seller's action for an increase of the price and the buyer's actions for diminution of the price or dissolution of the sale for shortage or excessive surplus in the extent of the immovable sold prescribe one year from the day of the sale. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2500 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2500. Eviction, definition, scope of warranty

The seller warrants the buyer against eviction, which is the buyer's loss of, or danger of losing, the whole or part of the thing sold because of a third person's right that existed at the time of the sale. The warranty also covers encumbrances on the thing that were not declared at the time of the sale, with the exception of apparent servitudes and natural and legal nonapparent servitudes, which need not be declared. If the right of the third person is perfected only after the sale through the negligence of the buyer, though it arises from facts that took place before, the buyer has no claim in warranty. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2502 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2502. Transfer of rights to a thing

A person may transfer to another whatever rights to a thing he may then have, without warranting the existence of any such rights. In such a case the transferor does not owe restitution of the price to the transferee in case of eviction, nor may that transfer be rescinded for lesion. Such a transfer does not give rise to a presumption of bad faith on the part of the transferee and is a just title for the purposes of acquisitive prescription. If the transferor acquires ownership of the thing after having transferred his rights to it, the after-acquired title of the transferor does not inure to the benefit of the transferee. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2503 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2503. Modification or exclusion of warranty, seller's liability for personal acts, restitution of price in case of eviction

The warranty against eviction is implied in every sale. Nevertheless, the parties may agree to increase or to limit the warranty. They may also agree to an exclusion of the warranty, but even in that case the seller must return the price to the buyer if eviction occurs, unless it is clear that the buyer was aware of the danger of eviction, or the buyer has declared that he was buying at his peril and risk, or the seller's obligation of returning the price has been expressly excluded. In all those cases the seller is liable for an eviction that is occasioned by his own act, and any agreement to the contrary is null. The buyer is subrogated to the rights in warranty of the seller against other persons, even when the warranty is excluded. Amended by Acts 1924, No. 116; Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2506 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2506. Rights of buyer against seller in case of eviction

Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2507 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2507. Restitution of full price despite deterioration, deduction of damage when benefit to buyer

A seller liable for eviction must return the full price to the buyer even if, at the time of the eviction, the value of the thing has been diminished due to any cause including the buyer's neglect. Nevertheless, if the buyer has benefited from a diminution in value caused by his own act, the amount of his benefit must be deducted from the total owed to him by the seller because of the eviction. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2509 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2509. Reimbursement to buyer for useful improvements, liability of seller in bad faith

A seller liable for eviction must reimburse the buyer for the cost of useful improvements to the thing made by the buyer.

LA Civ Code art. 2511 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2511. Partial eviction, rights of buyer

When the buyer is evicted from only a part of the thing sold, he may obtain rescission of the sale if he would not have bought the thing without that part. If the sale is not rescinded, the buyer is entitled to a diminution of the price in the proportion that the value of the part lost bears to the value of the whole at the time of the sale. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2512 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2512. Warranty against eviction from proceeds

The warranty against eviction extends also to those things that proceed from the thing sold. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2513 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2513. Scope of warranty in sale of succession rights

In a sale of a right of succession, the warranty against eviction extends only to the right to succeed the decedent, which entitles the buyer to those things that are, in fact, a part of the estate, but it does not extend to any particular thing. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2517 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2517. Call in warranty, failure of buyer to call seller in warranty, suit to quiet possession

A buyer threatened with eviction must give timely notice of the threat to the seller. If a suit for eviction has been brought against the buyer, his calling in the seller to defend that suit amounts to such notice. A buyer who elects to bring suit against a third person who disturbs his peaceful possession of the thing sold must give timely notice of that suit to the seller. In either case, a buyer who fails to give such notice, or who fails to give it in time for the seller to defend himself, forfeits the warranty against eviction if the seller can show that, had he been notified in time, he would have been able to prove that the third person who sued the buyer had no right. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2520 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2520. Warranty against redhibitory defects

The seller warrants the buyer against redhibitory defects, or vices, in the thing sold. A defect is redhibitory when it renders the thing useless, or its use so inconvenient that it must be presumed that a buyer would not have bought the thing had he known of the defect. The existence of such a defect gives a buyer the right to obtain rescission of the sale. A defect is redhibitory also when, without rendering the thing totally useless, it diminishes its usefulness or its value so that it must be presumed that a buyer would still have bought it but for a lesser price. The existence of such a defect limits the right of a buyer to a reduction of the price. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2521 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2521. Defects that are made known to the buyer or that are apparent

The seller owes no warranty for defects in the thing that were known to the buyer at the time of the sale, or for defects that should have been discovered by a reasonably prudent buyer of such things. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2522 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2522. Notice of existence of defect

The buyer must give the seller notice of the existence of a redhibitory defect in the thing sold. That notice must be sufficiently timely as to allow the seller the opportunity to make the required repairs. A buyer who fails to give that notice suffers diminution of the warranty to the extent the seller can show that the defect could have been repaired or that the repairs would have been less burdensome, had he received timely notice. Such notice is not required when the seller has actual knowledge of the existence of a redhibitory defect in the thing sold. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2524 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2524. Thing fit for ordinary use

The thing sold must be reasonably fit for its ordinary use. When the seller has reason to know the particular use the buyer intends for the thing, or the buyer's particular purpose for buying the thing, and that the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment in selecting it, the thing sold must be fit for the buyer's intended use or for his particular purpose. If the thing is not so fit, the buyer's rights are governed by the general rules of conventional obligations. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2529 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2529. Thing not of the kind specified in the contract

When the thing the seller has delivered, though in itself free from redhibitory defects, is not of the kind or quality specified in the contract or represented by the seller, the rights of the buyer are governed by other rules of sale and conventional obligations. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2530 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2530. Defect must exist before delivery

The warranty against redhibitory defects covers only defects that exist at the time of delivery. The defect shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery if it appears within three days from that time. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2531 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2531. Liability of seller who knew not of the defect

A seller who did not know that the thing he sold had a defect is only bound to repair, remedy, or correct the defect. If he is unable or fails so to do, he is then bound to return the price to the buyer with interest from the time it was paid, and to reimburse him for the reasonable expenses occasioned by the sale, as well as those incurred for the preservation of the thing, less the credit to which the seller is entitled if the use made of the thing, or the fruits it has yielded, were of some value to the buyer. A seller who is held liable for a redhibitory defect has an action against the manufacturer of the defective thing, if the defect existed at the time the thing was delivered by the manufacturer to the seller, for any loss the seller sustained because of the redhibition. Any contractual provision that attempts to limit, diminish or prevent such recovery by a seller against the manufacturer shall have no effect. Amended by Acts 1974, No. 673, §1; Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2532 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2532. Return of the thing; destruction of the thing

A buyer who obtains rescission because of a redhibitory defect is bound to return the thing to the seller, for which purpose he must take care of the thing as a prudent administrator, but is not bound to deliver it back until all his claims, or judgments, arising from the defect are satisfied. If the redhibitory defect has caused the destruction of the thing the loss is borne by the seller, and the buyer may bring his action even after the destruction has occurred. If the thing is destroyed by a fortuitous event before the buyer gives the seller notice of the existence of a redhibitory defect that would have given rise to a rescission of the sale, the loss is borne by the buyer. After such notice is given, the loss is borne by the seller, except to the extent the buyer has insured that loss. A seller who returns the price, or a part thereof, is subrogated to the buyer's right against third persons who may be liable for the destruction of the thing. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2534 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2534. Prescription

  A. The action for redhibition against a seller who did not know of the existence of a defect in the thing sold and the action asserting that a thing is not fit for its ordinary or intended use prescribe in two years from the day of delivery of the thing to the buyer or one year from the day the defect or unfitness was discovered by the buyer, whichever occurs first.  B. The action for redhibition against a seller who knew, or is presumed to have known, of the existence of a defect in the thing sold prescribes in one year from the day the defect was discovered by the buyer or ten years from the perfection of the contract of sale, whichever occurs first.  C. In any case prescription on an action for redhibition is interrupted when the seller accepts the thing for repairs and commences anew from the day he tenders it back to the buyer or notifies the buyer of his refusal or inability to make the required repairs.  Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995; Acts 1995, No. 172, §1; Acts 1997, No. 266, §1; Acts 2021, No. 414, §1.

LA Civ Code art. 2538 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2538. Multiple sellers, multiple buyers, successors

The warranty against redhibitory vices is owed by each of multiple sellers in proportion to his interest. Multiple buyers must concur in an action for rescission because of a redhibitory defect. An action for reduction of the price may be brought by one of multiple buyers in proportion to his interest. The same rules apply if a thing with a redhibitory defect is transferred, inter vivos or mortis causa, to multiple successors. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2540 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2540. Redhibitory vice of one of several matched things sold together

When more than one thing are sold together as a whole so that the buyer would not have bought one thing without the other or others, a redhibitory defect in one of such things gives rise to redhibition for the whole. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
LA Civ Code art. 2541 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Civil Code|Art. 2541. Reduction of the price

A buyer may choose to seek only reduction of the price even when the redhibitory defect is such as to give him the right to obtain rescission of the sale. In an action for rescission because of a redhibitory defect the court may limit the remedy of the buyer to a reduction of the price. Acts 1993, No. 841, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 1995.
