The <strong>contract<\/strong> with the commercial agent <strong>does not require a special form<\/strong> but a written contract is recommended. If the contract with the commercial agent is subjected to another states&#8217; law, the peremptory norms of the LCA have to be observed. <strong>The commercial agent has the duty to bring forward the business of the company, but he is basically not sharing liability<\/strong>. The company is obliged to pay a commission or a fixed salary. The contractual relationship may be terminated by an ordinary or extraordinary notice of cancellation or may be a fix-term contract from the first. Onto the termination of the contract the commercial agent has a claim to compensation and a claim for damages, except for cases of personal negligence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Karl H.
