The commission agent who sells goods below the minimum price fixed by the principal shall
be bound to pay the net balance to the latter unless he proves that by selling the goods he spared
the principal from suffering loss and that circumstances did not allow him to seek his instructions.
Where he is at fault, he shall, in addition, make up for all loss caused by non-compliance with
the contract.
The commission agent who buys at a lower price or who sells above the price indicated by the
principal shall not be entitled to keep the net balance.
