IV. Costs and expenses
1 Unless otherwise provided by agreement or custom, the agent is not entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses incurred in the normal performance of his duties, but is entitled to reimbursement of those incurred as a result of special instructions issued by the principal or in the capacity of agent without authority for the principal, such as freight charges and customs duties.
2 The duty to reimburse costs and expenses obtains even where the transaction fails to materialise.
2. Provision d’encaissement
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.
