1. Merchants and commercial businesses shall be governed by the agreement entered into by the contracting parties, unless such agreement contradicts a commanding commercial provision. 2. Where there is no specific agreement, the rules of commercial customs and practices shall apply to any matter where no particular provision is provided in this Law or in other laws related to commercial matters. A special or local custom shall have precedence over general custom. The rules of previous dealings between the contracting parties are deemed to be among the special custom rules applicable to such case. In the absence of a commercial custom, the provisions pertaining to civil matters shall apply, as long as they do not contradict the general principles of the commercial activity. 3. No private agreement or commercial customs rules may be applied between the contracting parties if they contradict the public order or morals.
