Is the manufacturer entitled to withhold the previously agreed-upon commission, after the client and the broker communicated directly with him, under the pretext that the provider of the goods, who was the reason for finalizing the agreement and the relationship between the manufacturer and the client, no longer has a current role?

The manufacturer is not permitted to add a broker's commission to the price of the commodity without the customer's knowledge and consent, especially if the customer has informed them not to include a commission. This is because both sales and brokerage require mutual agreement. If there was an agreement with the manufacturer regarding a commission, or if it is customary practice, then the broker has the right to claim it from the manufacturer, not the customer.
