The ICC recommends that all parties wishing to make reference to ICC arbitration in their contracts to use the following standard clause:

English

All disputes arising in connection with the present contract shall be finally settled under the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules.

French

Tous différends découlant du présent contrat seront tranchés définitivement suivant le Règlement de conciliation et d'arbitrage de la Chambre de commerce internationale par un ou plusieurs arbitres nommés conformément à ce Règlement.

German

Alle aus dem gegenwärtigen Vertrage sich ergebenden Streitigkeiten werden nach der Vergleichs- und Schiedsgerichtsordnung der lnternationalen Handelskammer von einem oder mehreren gemäß dieser Ordnung ernannten Schiedsrichtern endgültig entschieden.

Spanish

Todas las desavenencias que deriven de este contrato serán resueltas definitivamente de acuerdo con el Reglamento de Conciliación y Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio Internacional por uno o más árbitros nombrados conforme a este Reglamento.

Parties are reminded that it may be desirable for them to stipulate in the arbitration clause itself the law governing the contract, the number of arbitrators and the place and language of the arbitration. The parties' free choice of the law governing the contract and of the place and language of the arbitration is not limited by the ICC Rules of Arbitration.

Attention is called to the fact that the laws of certain countries require that parties to contracts expressly accept arbitration clauses, sometimes in a precise and particular manner.
