Introductory Provisions Article 1 Scope of the Rules
Dispute Boards established in accordance with the Dispute Board Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the ‘Rules’) aid the Parties in resolving their business disagreements and disputes. They may provide informal assistance or issue Determinations. Dispute Boards are not arbitral tribunals and their Determinations are not enforceable like arbitral awards. Rather, the Parties contractually agree to be bound by the Determinations under certain specifi c conditions set forth herein. In application of the Rules, the International Chamber of Commerce (‘ICC’), through the ICC Dispute Board Centre (‘the Centre’), can provide administrative services to the Parties, which include appointing Dispute Board Members, deciding upon challenges to Dispute Board Members, and reviewing Decisions.
