1. The Arbitration Agreement shall be treated as independent from the other conditions provided for in the contract. The nullity, rescission or termination of the contract shall not have any effect on the Arbitration Agreement contemplated in that contract, provided that the said agreement is valid per se, unless the same is pertaining to the loss of the legal capacity of one of the parties. 2. Claiming that the contract containing the Arbitration Agreement is invalid, rescinded or terminated shall not entail the suspension of the arbitral proceedings and the Arbitral Tribunal may decide on the validity of such contract.
Interpretation and application must be checked against the official text and current version.
