Article 2061 of the French Civil Code

The arbitration clause must have been accepted by the party against whom it is asserted, unless that party has succeeded to the rights and obligations of the party who initially accepted it.

Where one of the parties has not contracted in the course of his professional activity, the clause cannot be asserted against him.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2061

La clause compromissoire doit avoir été acceptée par la partie à laquelle on l’oppose, à moins que celle-ci n’ait succédé aux droits et obligations de la partie qui l’a initialement acceptée.

Lorsque l’une des parties n’a pas contracté dans le cadre de son activité professionnelle, la clause ne peut lui être opposée.
