Article 1164 of the French Civil Code

In framework contracts, it may be agreed that the price will be set unilaterally by one of the parties, with the onus on that party to justify the amount in the event of a dispute.

In the event of abuse in the setting of the price, a claim may be made to the judge for damages and, where appropriate, termination of the contract.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1164

Dans les contrats cadre, il peut être convenu que le prix sera fixé unilatéralement par l’une des parties, à charge pour elle d’en motiver le montant en cas de contestation.

En cas d’abus dans la fixation du prix, le juge peut être saisi d’une demande tendant à obtenir des dommages et intérêts et le cas échéant la résolution du contrat.
