goods specified.

or by mercantile usage, treated as the equivalent of any
other unit.

In the first, nonpayment is negative resolutory


condition; in second, full payment is positive
suspensive condition
In the first, vendor has lost and cannot recover
ownership until and unless contract is rescinded; in
the second, title remains in the vendor and when he
seeks to eject the vendee because of noncompliance by such vendee with the suspensive
condition stipulated, he is enforcing the contract
and not resolving the same.

Piece of work distinguished from Contract of sale;


In the first, contractor binds himself to execute a
piece of work for the employer in consideration of a
certain price or compensation. The contractor may
either employ his labor, skill or furnish the material.
In the first, the thing transferred is not in existence
and which never would have existed but for the
order of the party desiring to acquire it; in the
second, the thing transferred is one which would
have existed and been the subject of sale to some
other person, even if the order had not been given.
In the first the risk of loss before delivery is borne
by the worker/contractor, not by the employer; in
the second, the risk of loss is borne by the buyer.
Contracts for a piece of work are not within the
statue of frauds unlike contracts of sale:
Sale distinguished from barter:
1. Intention of the parties
2. The intention cannot be determined or cannot be
ascertained
a. Thing higher- barter
b. Money higher- sale
