As an exception to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, in case the author, the  author's heirs or whomever validly represents them requests such payment from “Cabral  Moncada Leilões” before payment has been made to the seller, the seller expressly  authorizes “Cabral Moncada Leilões” to deduct the amount due in respect of the resale right from the net amount which would be due under Article 13, the amount due for the same as  a resale right (“droit de suite”).

b) If the payment due by the buyer has not been executed within the reasonable period of  time given for this purpose in the notice, “Cabral Moncada Leilões”, after consulting the  seller, may choose to: 
(i) take legal action to recover the total amount of the sale; in this case, to the extent that  the reaction against the buyer requires the intervention of the seller, the latter should  empower “Cabral Moncada Leilões” to perform all the actions deemed necessary or  appropriate for that purpose;  
or 
(ii) terminate the contract with the defaulting buyer.
