Art. 24 Cases of mistake
1 An error is fundamental in the following cases in particular:1. where the party acting in error intended to conclude a contract different from that to which he consented;2. where the party acting in error has concluded a contract relating to a subject matter other than the subject matter he intended or, where the contract relates to a specific person, to a person other than the one he intended;3. where the party acting in error has promised to make a significantly greater performance or has accepted a promise of a significantly lesser consideration than he actually intended;4. where the error relates to specific facts which the party acting in error considered in good faith to be a necessary basis for the contract.
2 However, where the error relates solely to the reason for concluding the contract, it is not fundamental.
3 Calculation errors do not render a contract any less binding, but must be corrected.
