Article L134-12 of the French Commercial code

In the event of termination of his relationship with the principal, the commercial agent is entitled to compensation for the loss suffered.

The commercial agent loses the right to compensation if he has not notified the principal, within one year of the termination of the contract, that he intends to assert his rights.

The rightful claimants of the commercial agent also benefit from the right to compensation when the termination of the contract is due to the death of the agent.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L134-12

En cas de cessation de ses relations avec le mandant, l’agent commercial a droit à une indemnité compensatrice en réparation du préjudice subi.

L’agent commercial perd le droit à réparation s’il n’a pas notifié au mandant, dans un délai d’un an à compter de la cessation du contrat, qu’il entend faire valoir ses droits.

Les ayants droit de l’agent commercial bénéficient également du droit à réparation lorsque la cessation du contrat est due au décès de l’agent.
