Freedom of contract applies to any and all agreement between parties, either natural or legal. This means that the signatory parties may decide the form of the contract and its content, as long as it observes the applicable laws. A contract that infringes individual rights or good morale is considered void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Contract Law also sets forth the manner in which parties may be held liable for breaching certain&nbsp;<strong>contractual agreements<\/strong>. For example, the breaching party can be held liable to compensate the damage brought by the said breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawyersaustria.com\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>lawyers in Austria<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;can offer you more details on liability, according to the particularities of your case and the type of contract you have signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawyersaustria.com\/citizenship-in-austria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>apply for citizenship in Austria<\/strong><\/a>, you can collaborate from a legal point of view with one of our lawyers.
