The precise and clear wording of arbitration and mediation clauses in contracts is necessary to facilitate the proceedings of arbitration or mediation and avoid obstacles that may hinder or complicate the process. This is due to the possibility of disputes arising regarding the existence of an arbitration or mediation agreement, the designation of the competent authority to hear the dispute, the initiation of proceedings, or other matters that can result in wasting time, effort, and money.

To address this, the Al-Ahsa Commercial Arbitration Center has adopted a set of model clauses that ensure the smooth operation of arbitration or mediation proceedings under various circumstances. The center recommends including one of these clauses to safeguard and preserve rights and obligations.
