Where it is agreed that the commercial representative shall be the exclusive general representative of the merchant in the agreed area, the commercial representative shall be entitled to a commission for each transaction concluded for the account of the merchant in such area, even if the merchant has concluded it by himself or if it was concluded through a person other than the commercial representative, except if it is established that the failure to conclude the transaction through the commercial representative is attributed to a reason related to the representative himself.
