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

¹ Either party may uni­lat­er­ally ter­min­ate the agree­ment where the re­la­tion­ship has be­come un­con­scion­able as a res­ult of breach of con­trac­tu­al ob­lig­a­tions or where oth­er good cause has rendered its con­tinu­ation ex­ceed­ingly dif­fi­cult or im­possible.

² Where the agree­ment is ter­min­ated on such grounds, the party at fault must pay ad­equate com­pens­a­tion to the in­no­cent party in ad­di­tion to re­turn­ing the per­form­ance re­ceived.

³ In­stead of res­cind­ing the agree­ment, at the re­quest of one party or of its own ac­cord the court may dis­solve the joint house­hold and award a life an­nu­ity to the be­ne­fi­ciary by way of com­pens­a­tion.
