A master painting contractor executes a facade coating project under a fixed lump-sum contract (Pauschalvertrag nach OR Art. 373). During the works, extreme unseasonal torrential rainfall exceeding 100-year historical records causes severe structural groundwater flooding and substrate saturation, preventing coating application for six weeks and causing substantial extra heating and dehumidification costs. Can the contractor claim price adjustments under OR Art. 373 Abs. 2?

No, because a Pauschalpreis is strictly unalterable under all circumstances regardless of unforeseen natural disasters or cost increases No, the contractor must bear all costs unless the contract specifically contained an automatic inflation indexing clause Yes, if extraordinary, unforeseeable circumstances (ausserordentliche Umstände) arise that could not have been anticipated and render performance excessively onerous, a judge or arbitrator may adjust the lump sum or terminate the contract Yes, the contractor may unilaterally increase the final invoice by up to 50% without providing documentation or obtaining owner consent

Correct Answer:

Yes, if extraordinary, unforeseeable circumstances (ausserordentliche Umstände) arise that could not have been anticipated and render performance excessively onerous, a judge or arbitrator may adjust the lump sum or terminate the contract
