A reviewable price is a price which may be modified, under the conditions set out in this article, to take account of economic variations.
A contract is concluded at a reviewable price where the parties are exposed to major risks due to reasonably foreseeable changes in economic conditions during the period of performance of the services. This is particularly the case for contracts for the purchase of agricultural and food raw materials.
When the price is subject to revision, the terms of the contract set out the date on which the initial price is established, the procedures for calculating the revision and the frequency with which it is implemented. The procedures for calculating the price review are set:
1° Either on the basis of a reference from which the price of the service is adjusted;
2° Or by applying a formula representing changes in the cost of the service. In this case, the revision formula only takes into account the various elements of the cost of the service and may include a fixed term;
3° Or by combining the methods mentioned in 1° and 2°.
