III. Inability to work
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.
d. Relevé de compte
1 Si l’agent n’est pas tenu par convention écrite de présenter un relevé de ses provisions, le mandant doit lui remettre un relevé de compte à chaque échéance en indiquant les affaires donnant droit à une provision.
2 L’agent a le droit de consulter les livres et les pièces justificatives correspondants. Il ne peut pas renoncer d’avance à ce droit.
