合同违约怎么赔偿How to compensate for contract breach
依据当事人是否有约定违约金,合同违约赔偿分为约定赔偿和法定赔偿。那么,合同违约怎么赔偿?下面小编将详细为您介绍合同无效的约金赔偿。
合同违约赔偿种类有哪些?
依据当事人是否有约定违约金,分为约定赔偿和法定赔偿
约定赔偿包括两种情形:当事人在合同约定赔偿的条款,另一种是合同没有约定,但合同成立后达成赔偿的协议。
1、约定赔偿
指合同当事人在订立合同时,预先约定一方违约产生的赔偿额的计算方法或向对方支付一定的金钱。
由于损失的范围在合同订立时难以确定,因此,当事人在合同中只能约定赔偿的计算办法,而不宜约定一个固定的赔偿数额。
赔偿可以用金钱货币形式确定,也可以用非金钱方式确定。
2、法定赔偿
指在当事人一方违约造成对方损失时,按照法律规定的办法计算赔偿额进行赔偿。这里所说的法律,既包括合同法,也包括有关合同违约赔偿的其他法律法规规定。
法定赔偿方法一般是在当事人没有事先约定赔偿或者违约金的情况下运用。在法定情况下,法律不仅规定了违约赔偿的条件、范围,也规定了赔偿的计算办法等。
尤其应当注意的是,在当事人没有约定赔偿的情况下,有些法律还规定了赔偿限额,主要是对运输合同中承运人规定了最高赔偿限额。对超过这一限额的,违约方不承担赔偿责任。
合同无效的约金赔偿
1、合同无效,能请求法院判决对方赔偿违约金吗?
因为违约的前提是合同有效,违约指违反有效合同所规定的义务所产生的责任后果,只有在合同有效的情况下,才能够存在违约。
如果合同是无效的话,这个合同根本就不存在了,也就谈不上违约。
违约金是违约责任形式,合同无效,违约条款作为从合同也无效,所以不能判决承担违约责任。
2、合同无效的救济方式
合同法第58条规定:合同无效或者被撤消后,因该合同取得的财产,应当予以返还或者没有必要返还的,应当折价补偿。
有过错的一方应当赔偿对方因此所受到的损失,双方都有过错的,应当各自承担相应的责任。
所以说,合同无效的救济方式就是返还原物、恢复原状、赔偿损失,不存在赔偿违约金。
According to whether the parties have agreed on a penalty for breach of contract, the compensation for breach of contract is divided into agreed compensation and statutory compensation. So, how can we compensate for breach of contract? Below, the editor will provide you with a detailed introduction to the compensation for contract invalidity.
What are the types of compensation for breach of contract?
According to whether the parties have agreed on a penalty for breach of contract, it can be divided into agreed compensation and statutory compensation
The agreed compensation includes two situations: the parties agree on the terms of compensation in the contract, and the other is that there is no agreement in the contract, but an agreement on compensation is reached after the contract is established.
1. Agreed compensation
The calculation method for the compensation amount incurred by one party's breach of contract or the payment of a certain amount of money to the other party as agreed upon by the contracting parties in advance at the time of signing the contract.
Due to the difficulty in determining the scope of losses at the time of contract formation, the parties can only agree on the calculation method of compensation in the contract, and it is not advisable to agree on a fixed amount of compensation.
Compensation can be determined in monetary or non monetary form.
2. Statutory compensation
When one party breaches the contract and causes losses to the other party, compensation shall be calculated in accordance with the legal provisions. The law referred to here includes both Contract Law and other laws and regulations related to compensation for breach of contract.
The statutory compensation method is generally applied when the parties have not agreed on compensation or liquidated damages in advance. In statutory circumstances, the law not only stipulates the conditions and scope of compensation for breach of contract, but also stipulates the calculation method of compensation.
It should be noted that in cases where the parties have not agreed on compensation, some laws also stipulate compensation limits, mainly setting the maximum compensation limit for the carrier in the transportation contract. For those exceeding this limit, the defaulting party shall not be liable for compensation.
Compensation for contract invalidity
1. The contract is invalid. Can we request the court to award the other party compensation for breach of contract?
Because the prerequisite for breach of contract is the validity of the contract, breach of contract refers to the consequences of violating the obligations stipulated in the valid contract. Only when the contract is valid can a breach of contract exist.
If the contract is invalid, the contract does not exist at all, and there can be no breach of contract.
The penalty for breach of contract is a form of liability for breach of contract, and the contract is invalid. The breach of contract clause is also invalid as a subordinate contract, so it cannot be judged to bear the liability for breach of contract.
2. Remedies for Contract Invalidity
Article 58 of the Contract Law stipulates that if a contract is invalid or revoked, the property acquired due to the contract shall be returned or if it is not necessary to return it, compensation shall be made at a discounted price.
The party at fault shall compensate the other party for the losses suffered as a result. If both parties are at fault, they shall each bear corresponding responsibilities.
So, the remedy for contract invalidity is to return the original thing, restore the original state, compensate for losses, and there is no compensation for breach of contract.
