The paper deals with the most important problems arising from the need to protect the weakerparty in BtoB transactions in which, on one hand, contractual partners are not in a symmetricalposition and, on the other one, the relationship in itself – and therefore a significant amount of reliance– represents the core business (so called Relational Contracts). For instance, in case of changeof circumstances, parties put reliance on the fact that counterparty’s behaviour will be fair. Moreover,in this kind of contracts, the above mentioned need of protection is more urgent for two mainreasons: because these agreements are typically incomplete, id est they do not cover many aspectsof the contractual relationship, and because specific investments are required for entering into thenetwork. Starting from a distinction between top-down and bottom-up integration – based uponthe type of network created by the contract – the paper discusses the main tecniques – both legaland contractual – aiming at giving protection to reliance, mostly in some specific cases, such ashardship (or unforeseen circumstances) and brutal termination of the contract. In this frame, informationduties, compensation mechanisms and renegotiation are particularly discussed.
