Booking terms and conditions, privacy policy & legal notice and website use

Paris Arbitration Centre hearing services terms and conditions (July 2026)

All bookings and procurement of services with the Paris Arbitration Centre (PAC) are subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. Prices and payment terms

1.1. The Clients of PAC’s services are the persons who agree to bookings of PAC services for the purposes of a hearing or event (the hearing), whether held in-person at PAC’s premises at 92 rue Réaumur – 75002 Paris, France or at the premises of a PAC partner venue (all to be deemed premises for present purposes), or remotely, or in a hybrid fashion.

1.2. Once a booking is signed the total amount of the corresponding services (the advance) is payable prior to the start of the hearing. Said advance allows PAC to meet its obligations to the suppliers and other providers engaged for the purposes of providing the services procured by the Client. In the absence of full payment, the hearing will be deemed to have been cancelled and the cancellation terms shall apply. To the extent that VAT is applicable, this will be included as part of the advance. For hearings held at PAC’s Paris premises, all related charges are subject to French VAT.

1.3. As part of the advance for hearings held at PAC's Paris premises, PAC shall include an advance for lunches based on (i) the number of participants indicated in the booking and (ii) the gourmet picnic box option in the absence of a preference indicated on the booking confirmation form. The advance may also include EUR 150 excl. VAT per breakout room per 4-hearing days increments by way of advance on additional drinks and snacks consumed by the Client during the hearing, save where the 'all inclusive' formula has been selected. Where the quote is signed by the party to the case rather than by their counsel, the amount of the advance shall be increased by 5% and any excess not consumed for or during the hearing shall be refunded after the issuance of the final invoice.

1.4. Where a quote relates to a hearing that is due to take place in a subsequent calendar year, the stated room hire prices (and those only) will apply only if the booking is signed and the advance has been paid by 30 November of the current year; otherwise, the prices will be updated in due course to those of the subsequent calendar year. All other prices shall be updated to the ones currently in use at the time of the hearing.

1.5. Where a booking is made on the basis of a pre-set PAC hearing room package, such a booking is made by reference to capacity tiers, as published on PAC’s website from time to time. The capacity of a package refers to the maximum number of persons who may be present in the hearing room at any one time, including all participants, counsel, tribunal members, witnesses, interpreters, court reporters and any other persons. Where the number of persons present in the hearing room at any time during the hearing exceeds the maximum capacity of the package quoted for, the booking shall be deemed upgraded to the next available package tier for the entirety of the booking and the corresponding daily rate for the higher package shall apply to all hearing days, including those on which the capacity of the original package was not exceeded. Any additional amounts resulting from such an upgrade shall be reflected in the final statement of costs issued after the hearing. For the avoidance of doubt, where the number of persons present in the hearing room on any or all hearing days is lower than the maximum capacity of the package quoted for, the Client shall remain liable for the full price of the package as quoted and shall not be entitled to a downgrade or reduction in price.

1.6. PAC shall add an administrative charge of 10-20% on all services and supplies ordered by the Client through PAC to be procured by PAC externally, with the percentage varying according to the nature of the services or supplies and the time available to arrange the same.

1.7. Payments by the Client should be made by wire transfer net of all charges, and all banking charges associated with the payment are to be borne by the entity making the payment.

1.8. After the hearing, a final statement of costs will be issued to the Client taking account of advances paid, meals and other services and food and beverage consumed during the hearing, and items borrowed and not returned (charged at EUR 50-100/item excl. VAT). To the extent that any monies are due by or to the Client, said payment or refund shall take place within 21 days of the invoice or credit note being issued.

1.9. To the extent a Client fails to make payment for a given booking, the Client and its counsel (where counsel is not itself the Client) agree that PAC may seek payment for the booking from counsel directly. To the extent a Client fails to make payment for a given booking, the other Clients to the booking (if any), together with their counsel (where applicable), agree to be jointly and severally liable to make payment for the share of the defaulting Client.

1.10. PAC reserves the right to charge late payment charges on any invoice that is not paid by its due date in accordance with Article L. 441-6 of the French Code of Commerce, calculated at three times the current statutory interest rate, plus a fixed collection fee of EUR 40.

2. Cancellation terms

2.1. Bookings of premises

2.1.1. Bookings of premises may be cancelled at any time up to four clear months prior to the scheduled start of the hearing and the Client shall receive a full refund of any advances paid. For the avoidance of doubt: the postponement or rescheduling of a hearing is treated as a cancellation of the original booking and the new dates of the hearing will be a new booking; and where reserve days have been booked and are not used, these are considered to have been cancelled.

2.1.2. If the Client cancels the booking less than four months before the scheduled start of the hearing but earlier than 30 clear days prior to the scheduled start of the hearing, the Client shall be entitled to a full refund of any advances paid for lunches and refreshments and a 50% refund of the balance of the advance (with the other 50% remaining due).

2.1.3. If the Client cancels the booking within 30 clear days or less of the scheduled start of the hearing, the amount of the advance shall be due in full, less any advances paid for lunches and refreshments to the extent not procured already by PAC and subject to a 10% administrative charge.

2.2. Bookings of remote services, whether in the context of a fully remote hearing or as part of a hybrid hearing: such services shall be (i) refundable in full up to 15 clear working days prior to the start of the hearing or engagement, (ii) due in full if the cancellation is notified 5 clear working days or less before the scheduled start of the hearing or engagement, and (iii) refunded at 50% / due at 50% if the cancellation notice is received between these two dates.

2.3. Cancellation by PAC. If PAC is prevented from conducting business at the premises as a result of any damage caused or threatened to the premises or any other event or circumstance outside of its control or constituting a force majeure, it shall be entitled to cancel the whole or part of the booking, its liability shall be limited to the amount of any advances paid for the cancelled portion of the booking, and it shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the Client as a consequence of such cancellation.

3. Use of premises, external suppliers and exclusive relationships

3.1. In booking premises, the Client (including its relevant case team) will have access to these for the duration of the booking. The Client may only setup or otherwise send documents and materials ahead of time with permission by PAC, and must vacate the premises and remove all of its property immediately at the end of the booking period. PAC reserves the right to charge the Client in respect of the custody, storage, destruction and/or shipment of any items sent ahead of the booking or left by the Client on the premises after the end of the booking.

3.2. External suppliers contracted by the Client. The Client acknowledges that it may not procure the services of suppliers external to PAC in the context of bookings made with PAC without the prior written authorisation of PAC, notably as concerns AV/IT equipment, interpreter cabins or EPE services in relation to hearings taking place at the premises. This is designed to minimise compatibility and redundancy issues with the venue and its partners and to optimise efficiency and cost for the Client. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not apply to court reporters or interpreters.

3.3. Disposition of business. PAC reserves the right to substitute a room hired to a Client, but it will only do so when the conduct of its business reasonably so requires. The final invoice for the hearing will reflect the actual rooms used for the hearing.

3.4. Disruption by other users. PAC shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the use of the premises by the Client is not disrupted or interfered with by any other user of the premises.

3.5. Restrictions on admission to premises. PAC and its partner suppliers of premises reserve the right acting reasonably at all times to refuse admission to the premises or eject from the premises (or any part thereof) any person (whether a Client or a Client guest including from a third party supplier) who in the reasonable opinion of PAC and/or its partners is causing or is likely to cause a disturbance or damage or injury to any other person or property and/or in respect of whom PAC or its partners form the reasonable view that their presence at the premises would be inappropriate or undesirable. PAC further reserves the right to cancel any booking, without compensation or refund to the Client, if the Client or those invited onto the premises by the Client conduct themselves in a manner likely to cause a nuisance to other users of the premises, or to disrupt their business on the premises.

3.6. Damage to premises. The Client shall treat with care the premises and any non-Client property on the premises. The Client shall be responsible to PAC for any loss or damage caused by it or that it has invited on the premises to any property on the premises that is not the Client’s own.

3.7. Exclusive relationships. The Client acknowledges that PAC has an exclusive relationship with all third parties engaged by PAC in the provision of hearing services to the Client and that neither itself, nor its counsel or agents or representatives shall in the future seek to make arrangements with said third parties otherwise than via PAC for a period of two years from the end of the hearing.

4. Data protection

4.1. Each party to a booking, namely PAC and the Clients (the Parties, each a Party), undertakes to comply with the regulations in force applicable to the processing of personal data (the Regulation), in particular the provisions of the French Data Protection Act No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, as amended, and the EU Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council of April 27, 2016 (GDPR).

4.2. Contractual relations

4.2.1. Each Party is responsible for the databases containing the personal data it has collected and processes on its own behalf and undertakes to comply with the Regulation.

4.2.2. As part of their contractual relationship, each Party is informed that the data collected by the other Party (professional email, name, surname, position) may be subject to processing, whether automated or not, for which each Party acts as a data controller. Likewise, PAC may reuse Client data to improve its services. In this respect, data subjects may exercise their rights over their personal data, within the limits of the Regulation, directly with each Party. The purposes of the data processing carried out in this context are the management and monitoring of the performance of the booking, relations with contracting parties, and possibly communication about the Parties' activities. For more details on the processing of its partners’ data by PAC, please refer to the Privacy Policy available on its website.

4.3. Organisation of bookings

4.3.1. As part of the organisation of bookings, the Client provides PAC with personal data within the meaning of the Regulation (identities of parties, interpreters, court reporters, arbitrator, witnesses, etc.). These personal data are subject to processing for which PAC and the Client are joint controllers.

4.3.2. As an arbitration venue, PAC acts as a joint controller in compliance with applicable legal, contractual, and ethical obligations regarding the collection and processing of data provided by the Client, specifically for organizing arbitration hearings when it:

• Provides the Client with a physical or virtual meeting room and determines the characteristics of these spaces.
• Provides the Client with a secure digital storage platform enabling arbitration hearing participants to store and access audio, video and transcripts recordings of their hearing.
• Depending on the Client’s needs, provides an interpreter and/or a court reporter.

4.3.3. The Client acts as a joint controller regarding the collection and processing of data intended for resolving its arbitration dispute when it:

• Chooses to submit its arbitration dispute to PAC rather than another arbitration venue offering comparable services.
• Configures the tools provided by PAC according to its needs, determining the nature, quantity, and data subjects of the personal data transmitted to PAC for resolving its arbitration dispute and their retention on the secure digital platform, as well as selecting and compensating an interpreter and a court-reporter. The Client remains the owner of the personal data it provides to PAC.

4.3.4. In this context, PAC and the Client undertake to comply with the following obligations:

• Data security: PAC ensures the hosting of personal data contained in arbitration hearing audio, video and transcripts recordings processed on the secure digital storage platform and ensures the security of the data provided by the Client to prevent unauthorized disclosure. The Client is responsible for using the platform and must take necessary measures to limit access to authorized persons only.
• Determination of data retention periods: Personal data collected and processed are retained for the duration stipulated in the booking agreed between the Parties. Recordings stored on the secure digital platform are retained for as long as necessary for the Client to resolve its arbitration dispute. They may be retained longer to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. Personal data may also be retained for managing complaints and/or litigation or to comply with duly authorized judicial or administrative requests.
• Definition of arbitration venue service parameters provided by PAC: The Client is solely responsible for configuring the arbitration services it chooses (customized requests) and the personal data provided.
• Information for data subjects: data subjects involved in the processing will receive the required information in accordance with Articles 12 to 14 of the GDPR. Regarding individuals involved in resolving the arbitration dispute (arbitrators, stenographers, hearing participants, individuals mentioned in documents), the Parties agree that this information is provided by the Client, designated as the primary contact point for data subjects whose personal data are processed by the Parties. Additionally, information is available to data subjects on PAC's website.
• Exercise of data subjects' rights: data subjects may exercise their rights over their personal data within the limits of the Regulation directly with each Party.
• Provision of key terms to data subjects: The key points of these privacy terms will be made available to data subjects through the data protection information notice provided by the Client.
• Security and notification of data breaches:
  • Each Party ensures the security and confidentiality of personal data by taking appropriate technical and organizational measures, including those applicable to its subcontractors.
  • Each Party, in accordance with Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR, and as soon as it becomes aware of a data breach:
    • Notifies the supervisory authority of any personal data breaches that pose a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms within a maximum period of seventy-two (72) hours and informs the other Party of the breach before or at the latest simultaneously with the notification to the supervisory authority.
    • Informs data subjects of the personal data breach when there is a high risk to their rights and freedoms. If PAC does not have the contact details of the affected data subject, it undertakes to inform the Client, who must then notify the affected individuals.
• Liability: Data subjects may exercise their rights under the Regulation against and in relation to each Party. Each Party remains solely responsible for any failure to fulfill its obligations. The Party that compensates for damage may then seek recourse against the other responsible Party to claim the share of compensation corresponding to its degree of responsibility for the damage. The Client shall hold PAC harmless against any claims seeking to hold PAC liable under this clause and shall indemnify PAC for all costs incurred, including indirect costs, where the damage results from the Client’s breach of its obligations under this booking.
• Other Obligations: Each Party undertakes to comply with its other obligations under the Regulation (including Conducting a data protection impact assessment if necessary, respecting the principles of data protection by design and by default (privacy by design and by default), maintaining a record of processing activities, adhering to data retention periods, among other obligations, etc.).

4.3.5. For more information on how PAC processes Client data, please refer to PAC’s Privacy Policy available on its website.

5. Limitation of liability

5.1. PAC accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to data, or for loss or damage to persons or property on the premises or through the provision of services.

5.2. PAC does not guarantee that the provision and access to the products and services, including if applicable, video conferencing services will be uninterrupted or error-free. PAC shall not be liable for, and the Client will not be entitled to refunds or credits for any delays, errors, or interruptions in the products or services provided under this booking where these are caused by systems, infrastructure, software or hardware incorporated into or used to deliver the products and services which are not under PAC's direct control.

5.3. Except as and to the extent prohibited by law and otherwise than where caused by the gross negligence or worse of PAC, the Client shall indemnify and hold PAC harmless against and from any and all claims arising out of or in connection with services booked by the Client with or through PAC, including any premises made available for this purpose, and the Client shall upon written notice from PAC defend the same at its own expense. By agreeing to PAC’s terms and conditions, the Client agrees that any claims arising from the services may be directed by PAC and/or its partners and providers to the Client directly.

5.4. Neither PAC nor any of its employees or agents nor anyone appointed by them shall be liable for anything done or not done in the performance or purported performance of the hearing services, except to the extent that such limitation of liability is prohibited by French law.

5.5. These terms and conditions shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, French law disregarding its conflict of laws and jurisdiction provisions. In the event of a dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms and conditions, the Client and PAC shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute amicably. If the dispute has not been amicably resolved within 30 days of the Client or PAC giving written notice of a dispute to the other, the Paris courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute.
