Article 482: I. Exceeding the approximate price

Part Two: Special Obligational Relationships › Chapter Seven: Contract for Work

If it becomes apparent that the price determined approximately at the outset will be excessively exceeded without the fault of the employer, the employer may withdraw from the contract either before or after the completion of the work.

If the work is being constructed on the employer's land, the employer may request a reduction of the price by an appropriate amount or, if the work has not yet been completed, may terminate the contract by preventing the contractor from continuing the work and paying an equitable price for the completed part.

Original Turkish text

MADDE 482 · I. Yaklaşık bedelin aşılması

Başlangıçta yaklaşık olarak belirlenen bedelin, işsahibinin kusuru olmaksızın aşırı ölçüde aşılacağı anlaşılırsa işsahibi, eser henüz tamamlanmadan veya tamamlandıktan sonra sözleşmeden dönebilir.

Eser, işsahibinin arsası üzerine yapılıyorsa işsahibi, bedelden uygun bir miktarın indirilmesini isteyebileceği gibi, eser henüz tamamlanmamışsa, yükleniciyi işe devamdan alıkoyarak, tamamlanan kısım için hakkaniyete uygun bir bedel ödemek suretiyle sözleşmeyi feshedebilir.
