Place of payment

(1) In case of doubt, the obligor is to transfer money at their own risk and their own expense to the obligee at the residence of the latter.

(2) If the obligation came about in the commercial undertaking of the obligee, then the place of the commercial establishment takes the place of the residence if the obligee maintains their commercial establishment at another place.

(3) If, as the result of a change in the obligee’s residence or commercial establishment occurring after the obligation arises, the costs or risk of transmission increase, the obligee is to bear the increased costs in the former case and is to bear the risk in the latter case.

(4) The provisions on the place of performance remain unaffected.
