Hello,
how high is the compensation agreement in other contracts in case of a free termination. Does anyone have experience with such terminations.
With contracts based on the Building Code, you can terminate your contract for work at any time. There is no so-called "compensation agreement" because billing is always based on the specific contract for work. The contractor must credit their savings, and you must pay for the performance delivered so far. It is important in this case to initiate a procedure for securing evidence; since you will need legal assistance anyway – in Germany, legal advice is exclusively reserved for the advising professions – you should discuss the exact procedure with your lawyer.
What all contracts have in common, however, is that it also depends on what has been contractually agreed regarding termination/early termination.
Kind regards
