Should the vendee lose, on account of the eviction, a part of the thing sold of such importance, in relation to the whole, that he would not have purchased it without said part, he may demand the rescission of the contract; but with the obligation to return the thing without other charges than those it had when he acquired it.
The same provision shall be observed when two (2) or more things should be jointly sold for a lump sum, or a special price for each one of them, should it clearly appear that the vendee would not have purchased one without the other.
