Care of Property
- Debtors must take care of the object using the diligence of a good father of a family unless otherwise required by law or agreement.
Delivery of Property
- Specific Property: Includes fruits, accessories, and accessions (natural, industrial, civil fruits). Failure to deliver allows the creditor to demand delivery or substitute the debtor's obligation at their expense.
- Generic Property: Failure to deliver converts the obligation to indemnity for damages.
Obligation to Do
- Debtor must perform as promised or compensate for refusal, poor performance, or breach of the agreement.
Obligation Not to Do

Performance of Obligation
- Irregular Performance: Affects liability.
- Incomplete Performance: Also affects liability.
Fraud (Dolo)
- Causal Fraud: Induces the other party to give consent, resulting in voidable contracts.
