Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ The rights and ob­lig­a­tions arising from a con­tract made by an agent in the name of an­oth­er per­son ac­crue to the per­son rep­res­en­ted, and not to the agent.

² Where the agent did not make him­self known as such when mak­ing the con­tract, the rights and ob­lig­a­tions arising there­from ac­crue dir­ectly to the per­son rep­res­en­ted only if the oth­er party must have in­ferred the agency re­la­tion­ship from the cir­cum­stances or did not care with whom the con­tract was made.

³ Where this is not the case, the claim must be as­signed or the debt as­sumed in ac­cord­ance with the prin­ciples gov­ern­ing such meas­ures.
