obligations)
3. binding force

each of the parties

Default vs mandatory rules
Default:
legal provisions that apply to parties' contractual relationships in the
absence of any contrary agreement between them. These rules serve
as a fallback mechanism when parties have not explicitly addressed a
particular issue in their contract.
contractual freedom of parties prevails, parties are allowed to make
another agreement than stated in the rules
bijv: Terms governing payment terms and delivery arrangements in a
commercial contract.
Mandatory:

a. the will of the object, declaration of a party prevails above its inner will

declarations, subject to proof by that party
3. The reasonable reliance theory
a. compromise between both
b. reasonable belief of the addressee induced by the conduct of
addressor in light of all circumstances
