MADDE 640 · 2. Belirsiz süreli ortaklık

Ortaklık, belirsiz süre için veya ortaklardan birinin ömrü boyunca sürmek üzere kurulmuşsa, ortaklardan her biri, altı ay önceden fesih bildiriminde bulunabilir.

Fesih bildirimi, dürüstlük kurallarına aykırı olarak ve özellikle uygun olmayan bir zamanda yapılamaz. Fesih bildirimi, ancak hesap yılı sonunda hüküm ifade eder.

Sözleşmede öngörülmüş olan sürenin bitiminden sonra ortaklık, ortakların örtülü iradesiyle sürdürülürse, belirsiz süreli ortaklığa dönüşür.
