¹ The em­ploy­ment re­la­tion­ship is defined by writ­ten con­tract which stip­u­lates in par­tic­u­lar:

a.

the dur­a­tion and ter­min­a­tion of the em­ploy­ment re­la­tion­ship;

b.

the com­mer­cial trav­el­ler’s au­thor­ity;

c.

the re­mu­ner­a­tion and re­im­burse­ment of ex­penses;

d.

the ap­plic­able law and the for­um, where one of the parties is res­id­ent abroad.

² In the ab­sence of a writ­ten con­tract, the mat­ters spe­cified in the pre­vi­ous para­graph are de­term­ined by stat­utory pro­vi­sion and cus­tom­ary work­ing con­di­tions.

³ An or­al agree­ment is val­id only with re­gard to the com­mence­ment of ser­vice, the nature and loc­a­tion of the com­mer­cial travel and oth­er terms that do not con­tra­dict the stat­utory pro­vi­sions or the writ­ten con­tract.
