Art. 373 Bundesgesetz vom 30. März 1911 betreffend die Ergänzung des Schweizerischen Zivilgesetzbuches (OR)
OR; Zweite Abteilung: Die einzelnen Vertragsverhältnisse; Elfter Titel: Der Werkvertrag; B. Wirkungen; II. Pflichten des Bestellers; 2. Höhe der Vergütung; a. Feste Übernahme
Art. 373 OR
Wurde die Vergütung zum voraus genau bestimmt, so ist der Unternehmer verpflichtet, das Werk um diese Summe fertigzustellen, und darf keine Erhöhung fordern, selbst wenn er mehr Arbeit oder grössere Auslagen gehabt hat, als vorgesehen war.
Falls jedoch ausserordentliche Umstände, die nicht vorausgesehen werden konnten oder die nach den von beiden Beteiligten angenommenen Voraussetzungen ausgeschlossen waren, die Fertigstellung hindern oder übermässig erschweren, so kann der Richter nach seinem Ermessen eine Erhöhung des Preises oder die Auflösung des Vertrages bewilligen.
Der Besteller hat auch dann den vollen Preis zu bezahlen, wenn die Fertigstellung des Werkes weniger Arbeit verursacht, als vorgesehen war.
