The seller may also, according to the circumstances, be able to claim interest on late payment, collection fees and fees for non-prepaid uncollected goods.
Fulfillment: If the buyer does not pay, the seller can maintain the purchase and demand that the buyer pay the purchase price (fulfillment). If the item is not delivered, the seller loses his right if he waits unreasonably long to promote the claim.
