(1) Section 55 also applies to a commercial agent on whom authority has been conferred to conclude transactions for a trader who is not a merchant.
(2) Even if no authority has been conferred on a commercial agent to conclude transactions, they are deemed to have authority to accept notice of defective goods, to accept declarations that goods will be made available and to accept similar declarations by which a third party asserts or reserves their rights arising from defective performance; the commercial agent may assert the rights of the trader to preserve evidence. A third party must allow a limitation on these rights to apply against them only if they knew or ought to have known thereof.
