Effect of limitation

(1) After limitation occurs, the obligor is entitled to refuse performance.

(2) Performance rendered in satisfaction of a claim that is statute-barred may not be claimed back even if performance was rendered without knowledge of the limitation. The same applies to an acknowledgement made in accordance with a contract and to a security provided by the obligor.
