It should be made clear that the specific standard of liquidated damages needs to be determined through negotiation between the two parties, but in judicial practice, there are also situations where the parties have not specifically agreed on the standard of liquidated damages, in which case the compensation should be handled in accordance with the method of proving their own losses, and the two parties need to negotiate and determine, but they can also sue the court for judgment.
