Chapter Second: Obligations with a Suspensive Term

Article 100

Article 100 - Obligations may be subject to a term. The term is a future event of certain occurrence that suspends either the enforceability or the extinction of the obligation and produces its effect without retroactivity. When the date on which this event will occur is known in advance, the obligation is certain-term. When this date is not known in advance, the obligation is uncertain-term.

Article 117

Article 117 - In obligations that have as their object a prolonged performance or a series of successive performances, the term of these performances produces an extinguishing effect.

Article 118

Article 118 - Until the expiration of the term extinguishing, the obligation affected by this term produces the same effects as if it were a simple obligation. At the advent of the term extinguishing, the obligation ceases to produce its effects, but only for the future.
