1Opinion of the Court
Head, Justice.
1. Where parties depart from the terms of a contract and receive or pay money under the departure, reasonable notice must be given to the other party of the intention to rely upon the exact terms of the contract before there can be any recovery for failure to comply with its exact terms. Until notice, such departure is a quasi new agreement. Code § 20-116; Eaves & Collins v. Cherokee Iron Co., 73 Ga. 459; Hasbrouck v. Bondurant & McKinnon, 127 Ga. 220 (56 S. E. 241); McNatt v.
