Article 1112 of the French Civil Code

The initiative, conduct and termination of pre-contractual negotiations are free. They must imperatively satisfy the requirements of good faith.

In the event of fault committed in the negotiations, compensation for the resulting loss may not be intended to compensate for either the loss of benefits expected from the contract not concluded, or the loss of opportunity to obtain such benefits.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1112

L’initiative, le déroulement et la rupture des négociations précontractuelles sont libres. Ils doivent impérativement satisfaire aux exigences de la bonne foi.

En cas de faute commise dans les négociations, la réparation du préjudice qui en résulte ne peut avoir pour objet de compenser ni la perte des avantages attendus du contrat non conclu, ni la perte de chance d’obtenir ces avantages.
