Print contract buyout

Questioner

My client has cancelled his printing contract with the supplier because the costs kept rising. Last year they had made an adjustment to the printing volume. And then it was put back on the full term. Now a year later they have concluded a new agreement with my company. And then you have to deal with a buyout sum. This is normally the rental amount X the remaining terms. Sometimes some administration costs can be added to this, but in most cases that is all you need. However, this supplier has also included variable costs as a fixed component in the buyout. This has resulted in a considerably higher buyout. But is this allowed?

Lawyer

The answer to your question is primarily determined by what exactly was agreed in the agreement (and any general terms and conditions) on this point. For this, there should be access to those terms and conditions. You can of course, to start with, ask the other party for an explanation.
