What if the disputing parties agreed on litigation but intend to refer their disputes to arbitration?
They should enter into a written arbitration agreement which expressly revokes the agreement or clause on their intention to refer their disputes to litigation.
It should be noted that an arbitration agreement must be reduced to writing, including but not limited to a paper document, electronic text, fax, email, WeChat record, or other written form permitted under the Civil Code.
It should also be noted that a specific arbitration institute must be agreed upon, the name of the arbitration institute or its branch must be exactly stated.
