Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the arbitration clause in the seller's standard terms validly excluded the ordinary court's jurisdiction.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Although the clause met the Concordat's requirements and was in writing, it was not placed conspicuously nor typographically highlighted, so it could not be deemed knowingly accepted.
Extrahierte Begründung
An arbitration clause in general terms must satisfy the same requirements as a waiver of the ordinary forum in standard terms: it must be clear, unambiguous, visible, and typographically emphasized; additional notice may be needed for inexperienced parties. Here the clause was buried on the back of a page, in smaller print, and not specially highlighted.
