Article 13.
A fixed-term brokerage agreement expires upon the lapse of the agreed term if no brokered agreement has been concluded within that period, or upon termination by either party.
The Client is obliged to reimburse the Broker for any costs for which it has been expressly agreed that the Client bears them separately, even in the event of termination of the Agreement.
If, within 12 (twelve) months following the termination of the brokerage agreement, the Client concludes a legal transaction that is principally the result of the Broker's activities prior to termination, the Client shall be obliged to pay the Broker the full brokerage fee, unless otherwise agreed.
