upon the contract starting to be carried out/being performed by the seller


Explanation:
Really a law/patents question. In the context, a contract comes into being/ materialises either by ... or by starting to be implemented.
Based on the Eng. 'doctrine' of part performance'.
Avoid contract execution and completion = legalistically, signing - and in the 2nd case exchange - of contracts.


    Part performance: any Eng. contract law text book or ref. work.
