a항부터 f항까지는 선택사항이다.

Qualquer disputa, controvérsia ou reivindicação decorrente ou relacionada ao presente contrato, ou ao seu descumprimento, extinção ou invalidade, será resolvida por arbitragem institucional administrada pelo Centro Asiático-Europeu de Arbitragem (ASEAC) em Hamburgo (Alemanha), de acordo com as Regras de Arbitragem do ASEAC.

a) O número de árbitros será ______ ((i) um ou (ii) três, sendo que, caso a quantia em disputa seja menos do que € ____________________  [ex.: € 100.000], o caso será decido por árbitro único);

b) Independentemente de qual seja a sede da arbitragem, o tribunal arbitral é livre para realizar audiências em ____________________ (cidade ou país);

c) O(s) idioma(s) a ser(em) utilizado(s) no procedimento arbitral será(ão) ____________________;

d) Documentos também podem ser submetidos em ____________________ (idioma).

e) A arbitragem será confidencial. As partes concordam também que a mera existência de um procedimento arbitral será mantida confidencial, exceto na medida em que a revelação seja requerida por lei, regulação ou ordem de corte competente.

f) O tribunal arbitral aplicará as Regras de Arbitragem da ASEAC que estejam em vigor no momento do início da arbitragem, a não ser que uma das partes requeira ao tribunal, dentro de 4 semanas da constituição do tribunal arbitral, para operar de acordo com as Regras de Arbitragem da ASEAC em vigor quando da conclusão deste contrato.

As disposições das alíneas a) até f) são opcionais.

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by institutional arbitration administered by the Asian European Arbitration Centre (ASEAC) in Hamburg (Germany) in accordance with the ASEAC Arbitration Rules.

The plain model clause has a broad scope and submits any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the contract to ASEAC arbitration. It, thus, also covers claims for tort or unjust enrichment. It also allows tribunals to decide about the validity of the contract and/or its termination.

a) The number of arbitrators shall be ___ ((i) one or (ii) three or (iii) three unless the amount in dispute is less than € __________ [e.g. 100.000 €] in which case the matter shall be decided by a sole arbitrator);

If no such clause is inserted in the contract, Art. 7 para 1 ASEAC Rules (= Art. 7 UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules) applies which provides for three arbitrators unless the parties agree within 30 days after receipt of the notice of arbitration by Respondent that the number of arbitrators shall be one.

b) The arbitration proceedings shall/may take place (also) in ___________ (town or country);

Parties may wish to agree on an arbitration venue outside Hamburg whether in Germany or elsewhere. This will be a (additional) place where hearings will take place while the place of arbitration remains Hamburg, being the seat of the arbitration.

c) The language(s) to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be __________;

In international matters, it often makes sense to agree at the outset also on the language of arbitration. Sometimes two languages are accepted. This, however, reduces the choice of available competent arbitrators and counsels and results in more complexity.

d) Documents also may be submitted in _________________ (language).

Sometimes it makes sense to agree on one language for arbitration but to permit the submission of documents also in another language. Such a clause shifts the (economical) burden of translation to the party which receives the documents. In such case it is wise to look for arbitrators who understand the respective language sufficiently.

e) The arbitration shall be confidential. The parties agree that also the mere existence of an arbitration proceeding shall be kept confidential except to the extent disclosure is required by law, regulation or an order of a competent court.

One of the general advantages of arbitration is its confidentiality. Parties relying on this quality might want clarify it by inserting this clause and avoid disputes about an implied confidentiality and its scope. Depending on the circumstances of the case it may make sense to provide that even the mere existence of an arbitration proceeding shall be kept confidential.

f) The arbitral tribunal shall apply the ASEAC Arbitration Rules as in force at the moment of the commencement of the arbitration unless one of the parties requests the tribunal, within 4 weeks as of the constitution of the arbitral tribunal, to operate according to the ASEAC Arbitration Rules as in force at the conclusion of this contract.

Through the insertion of the option lit f) parties can only improve and not diminish their rights.

Usually parties may wish to only agree on rules known to them at the moment of the conclusion of the contract. Yet, in case of procedural, UNCITRAL-based rules, parties may prefer to insert a dynamic clause referring to the ASEAC Rules in force at the time of the commencement of arbitration.

The UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules are repeatedly reviewed and adopted to the prevailing international standard. Thus, it is likely that the ASEAC Rules are adapted as well after an agreement has been reached in UNCITRAL.

Through a dynamic clause as proposed in lit f), parties have the freedom to refer to such future developments. However, as nobody likes to grant "carte blanche" permission to an arbitration institution to change its rules, the clause provides for a four week period after commencement of arbitration for opting out. During this period each party can stop the application of the new rules by a mere written declaration. In this event the rules as in force at the moment of the conclusion of the contract shall apply.
