Business-to-business contracts are usually concluded after lengthy negotiations. If a party withdraws from costly negotiations before the contract is clearly concluded, the parties can disagree on whether they have already entered into a binding contract, and if not, who covers the negotiation costs and losses that have incurred.

In addition a comparative and international approach is applied.
