Document background
This Non-Arbitration Agreement is designed for parties who specifically wish to exclude arbitration and rely on the Swiss court system for dispute resolution. It is particularly valuable in situations where parties prefer the transparency, established precedent, and appeal rights available in state courts, or where the nature of potential disputes makes court litigation more appropriate. The document typically includes detailed provisions about court jurisdiction, service of process, and procedural requirements under Swiss law. It's commonly used in commercial contracts, financial agreements, and business relationships where parties want to ensure access to the Swiss judicial system's robust procedural safeguards and well-developed commercial law jurisprudence. The agreement can be customized to specify particular cantonal courts or the Swiss Federal Supreme Court depending on the nature and value of potential disputes.
