Last Updated: Dec 30, 2025
We are a Moldovan company that signed a large sale contract for goods with delivery by a set date. The supplier has not delivered and is insisting on price changes, threatening termination. What civil actions are available, typical timelines, and should we pursue court, arbitration, or seek interim relief?

A key determining factor is the contract itself— in particular, clauses on delivery deadlines, price adjustment, penalties, termination, and dispute resolution (court vs. arbitration). Unilateral price changes are generally not permitted unless expressly allowed by the contract or by law. The choice between court proceedings and arbitration, as well as available timelines and remedies, will largely depend on the contractual terms agreed by the parties.

If the supplier refuses to deliver and demands a higher price, you may: demand performance at the agreed price, terminate the contract and claim damages (price difference, penalties, losses), or request interim measures if there is urgency. Court is the default unless your contract provides arbitration. Limitation period: 3 years. First step: send a formal notice rejecting the price increase and setting a final deadline.
