1 The principal is obliged to pay the agent appropriate compensation if, in breach of his legal or contractual obligations, he is at fault in preventing the agent from earning the volume of commission that was agreed or to be expected in the circumstances. Any agreement to the contrary is void.
2 Where an agent who is permitted to represent only one principal at a time is prevented from working through no fault of his own by illness, Swiss compulsory military service or similar reasons, he is entitled for a relatively short period to adequate compensation for loss of income, provided the commercial agency contract has lasted for at least one year. The agent may not waive this right in advance.
1 Sauf convention ou usage contraire, l’agent a droit à une provision d’encaissement sur les sommes qu’il a encaissées en vertu d’un ordre du mandant et qu’il lui a remises.
2 À la fin du contrat, l’agent perd tout pouvoir d’encaissement et son droit à des provisions d’encaissement ultérieures s’éteint.
