Commercial courts hear:
1° Disputes relating to commitments between merchants, between craftsmen, between credit institutions, between finance companies or between them;
2° Those relating to commercial companies;
3° Those relating to commercial acts between all persons.
However, the parties may, at the time they contract, agree to submit the disputes listed above to arbitration. By way of exception, where the guarantee of a commercial debt has not been taken out in the context of the guarantor’s professional activity, the arbitration clause may not be invoked against the guarantor.
