The Arbitration is considered international arbitration, even if it is conducted in the State, in any of the following cases: 1. If the two parties to Arbitration have their principal place of business in two or more different countries at the time of conclusion of the Arbitration Agreement. However, if one of the parties has several principal places of business, the place which is very much relevant to the subject matter of the Arbitration Agreement shall be taken into consideration. If one of the parties to the Arbitration does not have a principal place of business, the place of his domicile shall be taken into consideration. 2. If one of the following places is located outside the country in which the principal place of business of any of the parties exists: a. The venue of Arbitration as determined by or pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; b. Any place where a substantial part of the obligations of the commercial relationships between the two parties is implemented; or the place most relevant to the subject matter of the dispute. 3. If the subject matter of the dispute covered by the Arbitration Agreement is connected to more than one country; 4. If the parties have expressly agreed that the subject matter of the Arbitration Agreement is connected to more than one country.
