Regardless of what is established in § 279c of this title, if it is determined that there is no just cause for the termination of the sales representation contract, or for the impairing of the established relationship, or the refusal to renew said contract, the court may grant, at the request of the plaintiff party and after the corresponding hearing, if needed, a compensation which shall not be greater than five percent (5%) of the total sales volume of the product or service for the years in which the representation thereof in the Puerto Rican market was in his charge, if said compensation does not propitiate an unfair enrichment or burden, in detriment of the principal or grantor. In establishing the amount of said alternate compensation, the court shall mainly take into account the compensation received by the sales representative from the principal and the number of years and sales volume that the sales representative produced during said relationship.
