Non Arbitration Agreement

I need a Non-Arbitration Agreement under German law for a technology services contract between our German GmbH and a US-based software provider, ensuring all disputes are handled exclusively by courts in Frankfurt, to be effective from March 1, 2025.

Document background
This Non-Arbitration Agreement is designed for use in commercial relationships where parties specifically wish to exclude arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism and ensure that any disputes will be resolved through the German court system. The document becomes particularly relevant in business relationships where clarity on dispute resolution mechanisms is essential, such as in international trade, joint ventures, or significant commercial contracts. It includes specific provisions compliant with German law regarding court jurisdiction, service of process, and enforcement of judgments. The agreement is structured to be enforceable under both German domestic law and relevant EU regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and cross-border transactions where parties prefer traditional litigation over arbitration.

2. Specific Excluded Proceedings: Detailed list of specific types of proceedings where arbitration is excluded, used when certain types of disputes need special attention

3. Mediation Provisions: Optional pre-litigation mediation requirements, when parties want to include alternative dispute resolution methods other than arbitration

4. Cost Allocation: Specific provisions about how legal costs will be handled, particularly relevant for complex commercial relationships

5. Amendment Procedure: Process for modifying the agreement, particularly useful for long-term relationships

Suggested Schedules
