Dispute Boards Dispute boards are permanent panels set up to accompany the performance of a contract. They assist in avoiding or overcoming disagreements and disputes. A Dispute Board (“DB”) is a standing body composed of one or three DB Members. Typically set up upon the signature or commencement of performance of a mid- or long-term contract, they are used to help parties avoid or overcome any disagreements or disputes that arise during the implementation of the contract. Although commonly used in construction projects, DBs are also effective in other areas. These areas includes research and development; intellectual property; production sharing and shareholder agreements. The ICC Dispute Board Rules (“Rules”) consist of a comprehensive set of provisions for establishing and operating a DB. They cover such matters as the appointment of the dispute board member(s); the services they provide and the compensation they receive Dispute Boards have three basic functions. They emphasise the importance of informal and formal approaches to disputes. The Rules explicitly provide that, upon perceiving a potential disagreement, the DB may identify the disagreement and encourage the parties to resolve it on their own without further involvement of the DB. If this is impossible or the disagreement is too entrenched, the DB can intervene with informal assistance to help the parties resolve the matter by agreement. Alternatively, the DB could also determine a dispute through a recommendation or a decision is sued after a procedure of formal referral. Each of these functions is of equal importance in helping to reduce the risk and cost of disruption to the parties’ contract. Dispute Board Rules The current ICC Dispute Board Rules are in force as of 1 October 2015 and the Appendices in force as from 1 October 2018. Read more Standard Dispute Board Clauses Standard clauses are for use by parties who wish to set up and operate a dispute board under the 2015 Rules.

ICC Decision Tree Choosing the right dispute resolution mechanism for your contract is an important decision. This decision tree will help you determine whether arbitration or litigation is better suited for your specific situation. Various factors, such as the location of your counterparty, enforcement considerations, confidentiality, flexibility, and costs, play a role in this decision. By answering the following questions, you will receive an indication of which method may be most appropriate for your contract. Question 1 When including a dispute resolution clause in a contract, you have the choice between arbitration and litigation before the state courts. A relevant factor to make the choice is whether your counterparty is located in the Netherlands. Is your counterparty based in the Netherlands? Yes If you answer this question with yes, the Dutch courts will usually have jurisdiction, even without a choice of forum clause for the Dutch courts. You are now referred to question 7 to find out whether there may be factors to make you want to choose for arbitration. No If you answer this question with no, it is important where your counterparty is located. You are referred to question 2. Question 2 When your counterparty is located outside the Netherlands, it is relevant whether this party is located within or outside the EU. Is your counterparty based in the EU? Yes If your counterparty is located in the EU, a judgment from a Dutch court may be recognised and enforced easily in the country of your counterparty and a judgment rendered by a court of your counterparty’s country may also be easily recognised and enforced in the Netherlands. You are now referred to question 3. No If your counterparty is not located in the EU, a judgment from a Dutch court may not be recognised and enforced easily in the location of your counterparty and a judgment rendered by a court of your counterparty’s residence may not be easily recognised and enforced in the Netherlands either, depending on where your counterparty is located. You are now referred to question 4. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 3 When your counterparty is located in the EU, the question arises whether you have objections against litigating before the court of the country of your counterparty in case of a dispute. If your counterparty is located in the EU, do you mind whether you have to litigate before a Dutch court or the court of the country of your counterparty? Yes In case you mind litigating abroad and your counterparty does not wish to agree to litigation before the Dutch courts, arbitration may be an agreeable alternative. In case of arbitration, the dispute could be heard in a neutral location, by a neutral tribunal in the English language (or any other language the parties prefer). You are now referred to question 6. No In case you do not have a strong preference where to litigate, you are referred to question 7 to see whether there are others reasons to choose for arbitration. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 4 If your counterparty is located outside the EU, it is relevant whether your counterparty is located in either Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Mexico, Singapore or the United Kingdom. Is your counterparty located in any of the aforementioned jurisdictions? Yes In case your counterparty is located in one of the aforementioned jurisdictions, a judgment from a Dutch court may be recognised and enforced easily in the location of your counterparty and a judgment rendered by a court of your counterparty’s residence may also be easily recognised and enforced in the Netherlands. You will now be referred to question 5. No In case your counterparty is not located in one of the aforementioned jurisdictions, a judgment from a Dutch court may not be (easily) recognised and enforced in the location of your counterparty and a judgment rendered by a court of your counterparty’s residence may also not be easily recognised and enforced in the Netherlands. An arbitral award, on the other hand, may be easily recognised and enforced in the country of your counterparty under the New York Convention. There are more than 170 countries party to this convention. You will now be referred to question 6. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 5 When your counterparty is located in Iceland, Norway, Switzerland Mexico, Singapore or the United Kingdom [add states], the question arises whether you mind litigating before the court of the country of your counterparty should it come to a dispute. If your counterparty is located in one of the aforementioned states, do you mind whether you have to litigate before a Dutch court or the court of the country of your counterparty? Yes In case you mind to litigate abroad and your counterparty does not want to agree to litigation before the Dutch courts, arbitration may be an agreeable alternative, where the dispute could be heard in a neutral location, by a neutral tribunal in the English language (or any other language the parties prefer). You are now referred to question 6. No In case you would not mind to litigate abroad, you are referred to question 7 to see whether there are other reasons to choose for arbitration. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 6 In most, if not all jurisdictions, court proceedings are in principle public and judgments are published. In some jurisdictions, the court file is also public. Arbitration is generally considered to be confidential. Hearings are in any case not open to the public and arbitral awards do not have to be published. Is it important for you that a dispute that may arise with your counterparty is treated as confidential? Yes In case you prefer your dispute to be treated as confidential, this may be a reason to opt for arbitration. If you choose ICC arbitration, it is advised to stipulate in your arbitration clause that the award is not to be published. Follow the link to find more about The ICC Model Clause. No In case you do not mind that the hearing is open to the public and that the judgment or award is published, you could also choose for litigation before the state courts, save if there are other reasons to choose for arbitration. You could explore this further with the next questions. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 7 Court proceedings usually take place in accordance with strict procedural rules, with limited options to amend the procedure to the wishes of the parties. Arbitration, on the other hand, gives the parties more flexibility and the arbitration could potentially be tailored to meet the requirements of the case and the wishes of the parties. Is it important for you that you could possibly have more influence over the manner in which the proceedings are conducted? Yes If it is important for you that you could possibly have more influence over the manner in which the proceedings are conducted, arbitration may be interesting for you. No If it is not important for you to have more influence over the manner in which the proceedings are conducted, you could also choose for litigation before the state courts, save if there are other reasons to choose for arbitration. You could explore this further with the next questions. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 8 When you opt for arbitration, there is generally no possibility to appeal the decision of the tribunal; the arbitral decision is final and binding on the parties. In case of court litigation, there is generally an option to appeal the decision of the court of first instance (most certainly in the Netherlands, although not necessarily in the same way in other jurisdictions) and cassation proceedings may also be possible. Is it important for you that appeal is excluded? Yes In case you wish to exclude the option of appeal, it may make sense to choose for arbitration. However, please note that there may exist the option to challenge an arbitral award in setting aside proceedings before the state courts, but the scope of these proceedings is much more limited than the scope of a regular appeal. No In case you wish there is an option of appeal, we could understand you choose for court litigation, although appeal could sometimes also be agreed upon for arbitration. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 9 When you litigate before the state courts, you usually litigate in the language of the country of the court, e.g., French before the French courts, or Dutch before the Dutch courts. In arbitration, the parties can choose the language of the proceedings. English is often chosen, but that is not required. Is it important for you that the proceedings can be conducted in a language that is understandable to all parties? Yes If you wish that the proceedings can be conducted in a language that is understandable to all parties, it may make sense to choose for arbitration, although in some jurisdictions, state court proceedings could also take place in English. No If you do not mind the language of the proceedings, you could opt for state court proceedings. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 10 In case you opt for arbitration, an administrative fee must usually be paid if the arbitration is administered by an arbitration institute (such as the ICC), and the claimant (and in case of ICC arbitration also the respondent) should pay an advance for costs of among others the arbitrator or arbitrators. The advance that must be paid depends in most cases on the amount in dispute. In case of court litigation, the parties do not have to pay the costs of the judges, just registration (court) fees, which are relatively low in the Netherlands, but may be relatively high in other jurisdictions. Are you willing to accept to pay an advance for costs at the beginning of the proceedings? Yes In case you do not mind to pay the said advance on costs, there is nothing that prevents you from choosing for arbitration. Should you ultimately prevail in the arbitration and should the tribunal thus decide in your favour, it is likely that your counterparty must bear the costs of the arbitration and must reimburse to you the advance you paid. No In case you do not want to pay the said advance, but just registration fees, you may wish to choose for state court litigation. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Question 11 In case of state court proceedings, at least in the Netherlands, often only a fraction of your actual legal costs are reimbursed if you prevail. In case of arbitration, this is not necessarily the case and your counterparty may be ordered to compensate all your legal costs, assuming these are reasonable. Of course, should you lose, you may also be ordered to pay your counterparty’s reasonable costs. Is it important for you that your legal costs can be compensated and do you accept that you could be ordered to pay your counterparty’s legal costs if you do not prevail on the merits? Yes If this is important for you, this may be a reason to choose for arbitration, or to include such an arrangement in your contract. No If this is not important, or if you mind to compensate your counterparty’s costs, this may be a reason to opt for litigation before the state courts. 🔄 Start over ⬅ Back to previous question Thank you for the participation!

ICC provides guidance on the ever-changing landscape of modern marketing and advertising issues, promoting effective self-regulation that is harmonized to best practice around the world. Marketing and advertising ICC provides guidance on the ever-changing landscape of modern marketing and advertising issues, promoting effective self-regulation that is harmonized to best practice around the world. The new ICC Marketing Code is here! Download the Code English 🇬🇧 Dutch 🇳🇱 Why self regulation in Marketing? The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) supports self-regulation in marketing and advertising because it helps gain the trust of consumers and keeps the market lively and open to new ideas. This approach means that businesses in the advertising, marketing, and media sectors agree to follow their own set of rules and standards. These standards are more stringent than what the law requires. By committing to truthful, lawful, decent, and honest advertising, businesses build a stronger relationship with consumers. The practice of self-regulation began in 1937 and has been adopted in over 35 countries. The Consolidated ICC Code of Advertising and Marketing Communication Practice is seen as the leading model for self-regulation. It has laid the foundation for many of the self-regulatory systems we see today. The ICC codes are kept up-to-date and relevant by being flexible enough to work with different local laws and cultures. They are also regularly revised to keep up with new technologies and ways of doing business. The development of these codes involves a lot of input from industry professionals and experts both within and outside of the ICC, ensuring broad support and agreement. Digital Marketing Communication The digital media landscape is changing quickly, mainly due to new technology. This change has led to a significant increase in digital advertising. A growing concern in digital advertising is how businesses use Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA) to create personalized ads for internet users. This raises questions about consumer privacy and the protection of personal data, which are crucial for responsible advertising practices. The ICC's Code for Advertising and Marketing Communication Practice addresses these concerns by setting the first worldwide rules for OBA. These rules aim to protect consumers and encourage businesses to maintain high ethical standards. They include: Making it easy for consumers to opt out of data collection for advertising. Clearly stating when a social network site is commercial and controlled by advertisers. Only sending direct marketing messages when it's likely the consumer will be interested. Following acceptable commercial practices on social networks and only posting marketing messages where allowed. Giving extra protection to children What is Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA)? Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA) is when businesses collect information about a person's online actions over time, using one device across many different websites. They do this to show ads that match the person's interests and preferences. ICC code offers guidance for website operators and others on how to properly use OBA, which includes: Giving clear and obvious information about if and how OBA data is collected, including what kind of data is gathered and why. Providing a simple way for people to control whether their data is collected and used for OBA. Requiring clear permission from consumers before collecting and using their data through methods that track their visits across many websites. Asking for clear permission before using sensitive information to create targeted advertising groups. Keeping strong security measures to protect the data collected. Not creating advertising groups aimed at children under 13 years old. Additionally, the ICC organizes experts to discuss new challenges brought by digital marketing methods or platforms. This helps provide advice and viewpoints to those making policies on a global level. One of these groups, the Working Group on Digital Media, has created a Resource Guide to go along with the global principles on OBA outlined in the Code. This guide serves as a helpful tool for self-regulating OBA. Marketing's Response to Eco-Friendly Demands As the world becomes more concerned about environmental issues, people are asking for clearer information on how products affect the environment. Businesses are responding by trying to lessen their environmental impact, recognizing that this matters more to consumers now. However, there have been complaints about companies exaggerating or falsely presenting their products' environmental benefits or their own green practices. This practice, known as "greenwashing," involves making vague or misleading claims about a product's eco-friendliness. It can damage trust among consumers and unfairly disadvantage companies that are genuinely committed to honest and non-deceptive advertising. To address this issue, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has created a global Framework for Responsible Environmental Marketing Communications . This framework is designed to help businesses navigate the complex world of green marketing claims . It covers a range of claims, from general sustainability to specific ones like climate impact, recyclability, and degradability. The framework provides a more detailed interpretation of the environmental claims section of the general code and includes a checklist. This checklist helps marketers and their agencies review their claims to ensure they are honest and socially responsible, thereby maintaining consumer trust. ICC response to European Commission’s Green Claims Directive Tailoring Marketing to Children Carefully Marketing plays a crucial role in informing consumers, including children, about products and services, contributing to economic growth. ICC Code emphasizes that all marketing should be legal, decent, honest, and truthful, especially considering how messages are understood by children. Children, being adept with media and technology, have access to a variety of marketing channels and content. However, their lack of experience in evaluating information makes them susceptible to misleading or inappropriate content. Recognizing this, ICC underscores the importance of marketers being extra careful when communicating with children and teenagers, treating them as distinct groups with specific needs and understanding levels. ICC defines "children" as those 12 and under, and "teens" or "young people" as those aged 13 to 18. To promote responsible marketing to children, the ICC's Consolidated Code provides guidelines that consider children's sensibility and society's social and cultural values.

Explore the ICC Netherlands Incoterms page for comprehensive information on international trade terms. Understand the rules and guidelines that define responsibilities of buyers and sellers in global trade. The ICC "international commercial terms", known worldwide as the ICC Incoterms® rules, have been an internationally generally accepted set of definitions and terms of delivery for use in international and national purchase and sale agreements for goods with a global reach since 1936. The ICC Incoterms ® 2020 version is the most recent international standard on international trade and is therefore the modern alternative to the ICC Incoterms ® 2010 rules. Over the past 10 years, these have been crucial tools for importers, exporters, lawyers, carriers and insurers all over the world. ICC periodically reviews the rules. In addition to the experiences of users, changes in policies, environmental guidelines and new technology have been included in the adjustments. The ICC Incoterms ® 2020 provides buyers and sellers with an up-to-date framework. They are also easier to use. The Incoterms® rules consist of a set of three-letter delivery terms that reflect the customs between buyers and sellers of goods. These three-letter delivery terms describe the allocation of tasks, costs, and risks between buyers and sellers, saving time and protecting entrepreneurs from pitfalls and financial damage. Developed after extensive consultation with users including economists, lawyers, traders, freight forwarders, and banking and insurance experts from ICC's global network, the ICC Incoterms® 2020 rules reflect changes in international trade. The Drafting Group, established by ICC in 2016, included a mix of traders, business representatives, and trade law specialists who analysed over 3,000 substantial comments and conducted four consultation rounds with national offices and expert groups, including two physical expert consultations in Beijing and London. This thorough process ensures that the rules remain relevant and effective in the evolving landscape of global trade. What are the key changes in Incoterms® 2020? The Incoterms® 2020 address a demonstrated need in the market for on-board bills of lading under the Free Carrier (FCA) Incoterms® rule. Free Carrier (FCA) has been revised for Incoterms® 2020 to cater to a situation where goods are sold FCA for carriage by sea and buyer or seller (or either party’s bank) requests a bill of lading with an on-board notation. FCA in article A6/B6 now provides for the parties to agree that the buyer will instruct the carrier to issue an on-board bill of lading to the seller once the goods have been loaded on board, and for the seller then to tender the document to the buyer (often through the banks). The Incoterms® 2020 provide the list of expected costs. All costs associated with a given Incoterms rule now appear at article A9/B9 of that rule, allowing users to see the full list of expected costs at a glance. In addition to the aggregated presentation, the costs associated with each item still appear in the respective articles to accommodate a user who wants to focus on a specific aspect of the sale transaction. The Incoterms® 2020 provide for different levels of insurance coverage under the Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF) and Carriage and Insurance Paid To (CIP) rules. The Incoterms® 2020 rules provide for different levels of insurance coverage in the Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF) rule and Carriage and Insurance Paid To (CIP) rule. CIF Incoterms® rule, which is reserved for use in maritime trade and often used in commodity trading, the Institute Cargo Clauses (C) remains the default level of coverage, giving parties the option to agree to a higher level of insurance cover. The CIP Incoterms® rule now requires a higher level of cover, compliant with the Institute Cargo Clauses (A) or similar clauses. The Incoterms® 2020 allow for arranging the transport of goods with own means of transportation under FCA, DAP, DPU, and DDP. It recognises that not all commercial trade transactions from the seller to the buyer are conducted by a third-party carrier. The Incoterms® 2020 include security-related requirements in the obligations regarding transport and costs. The latest edition includes clearer and more detailed security-related obligations in articles A4 on carriage and A7 on export/import clearance of each Incoterms® rule. Costs relating to these requirements also appear in the consolidated costs article, A9/B9. The three-letter abbreviation for Delivered at Terminal (DAT) has been changed to DPU. No, simply renamed and moved to more accurately reflect the content of the rule. The former Delivered at Terminal (DAT) has been changed to Delivered at Place Unloaded (DPU) to emphasise that the place of destination can be any place and not just a “terminal,” and to underscore the sole difference from Delivered at Place Unloaded (DPU) – under DAP the seller does not unload the goods, under DPU, the seller does unload the goods. And since delivery under DAP happens before unloading, Incoterms® 2020 presents the newly named DPU after DAP. Educational Materials In Company Training Incoterms ® The Incoterms ® 2020 rules provide clarity and certainty to your company.
