An arbitration agreement is independent of the contract to which it relates. It is not affected by the ineffectiveness of the latter.

When void, the arbitration clause is deemed unwritten.

Article 1447

La convention d’arbitrage est indépendante du contrat auquel elle se rapporte. Elle n’est pas affectée par l’inefficacité de celui-ci.

Lorsqu’elle est nulle, la clause compromissoire est réputée non écrite.
