a. Model Clause for reference of disputes to arbitration under the SIAC RIA Protocol where the disputes have already arisen
For disputes that have arisen which parties wish to refer to arbitration conducted in accordance with the SIAC Rules and the SIAC RIA Protocol, we recommend that parties adopt and amend the following language for their agreement as an arbitration agreement. Parties should include a definition of the term ‘disputes’ to include all issues or claims that have arisen which are sought to be referred to arbitration. A proposed definition is included here.
“Disputes” shall mean any and all disputes, claims, controversies or differences of any kind whatsoever that arise out of or relate to [*describe the nature of issues or claims that are sought to be referred to arbitration*].
The Disputes including any question regarding the existence, validity or termination of this agreement, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC Rules”), for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the SIAC Restructuring and Insolvency Arbitration Protocol (“SIAC RIA Protocol”).
The seat of the arbitration shall be [Singapore].*
The Tribunal shall consist of _________________ arbitrator(s).^
The language of the arbitration shall be ________________.
The law governing this arbitration agreement shall be [Singapore].#
[In respect of any court proceedings in Singapore commenced under the International Arbitration Act 1994 in relation to the arbitration, the parties agree (a) to commence such proceedings before the Singapore International Commercial Court (“the SICC”); and (b) in any event, that such proceedings shall be heard and adjudicated by the SICC.] **
Note: The SIAC RIA Protocol provides that, unless the parties agree otherwise or the tribunal determines otherwise, Singapore shall be the seat of the arbitration, and Singapore law shall govern the agreement of the parties to submit disputes to arbitration under the SIAC RIA Protocol. Parties are free to agree on a different seat of arbitration or a different law to govern the agreement to arbitrate disputes under the SIAC RIA Protocol.
* If parties wish to select an alternative seat to Singapore, please replace “[Singapore]” with the city and country of choice (e.g., “[City, Country]”).
^ State an odd number. Either state one, or state three.
# If parties wish to select an alternative law to govern the agreement to arbitrate, please state the country or jurisdiction. We recommend that parties agree on the law governing the arbitration agreement. This law potentially governs matters including the formation, existence, enforceability, legality, scope, and validity of the arbitration agreement, and the arbitrability of disputes arising from it.
** Parties may wish to agree to the supervisory jurisdiction of the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC) for international commercial arbitrations where Singapore is chosen as the seat of arbitration.
b. Model Clause for reference of disputes to arbitration under the SIAC RIA Protocol where such disputes may arise in the future
For any disputes that may arise in the future to be referred to arbitration conducted in accordance with the SIAC Rules and the SIAC RIA Protocol, we recommend that parties include the following arbitration agreement in their contracts:
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”) in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC Rules”), for the time being in force, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this clause. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the SIAC Restructuring and Insolvency Arbitration Protocol (“SIAC RIA Protocol”).
The seat of the arbitration shall be [Singapore].*
The Tribunal shall consist of _________________ arbitrator(s).^
The language of the arbitration shall be ________________.

Parties should also include an applicable law clause. The following language is recommended:
