The arbitration clause
Anticipate your disputes. One clause, and your disagreements are settled on Concorda.
A simple clause in your contracts is enough to entrust your future disputes to arbitration by Concorda rather than to the state courts.
Why include it in your contracts
The clause is planned in calm times, when signing the contract, while relations are still good. On the day of a dispute, the path is already set.
Control over time
You know in advance that the dispute will be settled in weeks, not at the pace of the courts.
Control over cost
The scale is announced in advance. You quantify the risk before a dispute even arises.
Confidentiality
Your affairs are not exposed in a public courtroom.
Enforceable decision
The award is an enforceable title (art. 387 CPC), like a judgment.
Neutrality
An independent and impartial arbitrator, appointed by Concorda, decides the dispute.
No judicial publicity
No public docket, no published judgment. The procedure stays between the parties.
Clause or submission agreement: two moments, two conventions
The result is the same, arbitration on Concorda. Only the moment of the agreement changes.
The arbitration clause
Before any dispute
It is inserted in advance in the contract (general terms, service contract, commercial lease, works contract, etc.). If a disagreement arises later, it is settled automatically on Concorda. This is the preferred route.
The submission agreement
Once the dispute has arisen
When no clause was provided, the parties may still agree, after the dispute has arisen, to submit it to Concorda by signing a submission agreement. Both parties' consent is then required.
