Why Karsten? Who just signs a contract worth several hundred thousand euros???
Quite simple, because you trust the word of the salesman in good faith, no risk, no property, no contract... and then this. The guy has to say, Okal Haus can claim 10% lost profit if you withdraw, it's stated in the text. But he doesn't say that, instead he prefers to say it's no problem. Rotten. Karsten
Of course, that is damage. Margin damage. This can only be compensated if, instead of this house construction, another house construction took place. And proving that will be difficult.
It is similar to canceling a holiday apartment 3 days before arrival. There is also nothing refunded if no one else books the apartment at short notice.
Exactly. This is only a loss in full margin amount if nothing was done instead of the house construction. I regularly deal with such cases and we calculate damages as the costs already incurred plus the expected margin on this amount. But not the margin on the total contract.
No no. The agreement is, you get me land, then I build with you. No land, no building. For the holiday apartment, you get me a flight from ...to, then I stay...no flight, no booking. No 10%. Well, in the fine print, yes....
