• If the contract is cancelled due to fraud, you might be entitled to compensation for any losses or damages caused by the fraudulent information.
• Damages can be for actual loss or any consequential loss you suffered due to relying on the false facts.

📌 5. What Should You Do Next? 🚨

• Gather evidence of the false information (emails, documents, witnesses).
• Send a legal notice to the other party stating the grounds for cancellation.
• If they refuse to cooperate, you can file a case for fraud and contract rescission in court.
