The purchaser shall not remove any packaging or labels from goods which exist in kind in his inventory and which have not yet been paid for.
Goods not yet in the possession of the buyer will be presumed to be those still unpaid. Consequently, the seller may take them back without prejudice to any action for damages for total or partial non-performance of the payment.
