arbitration agreement
「仲裁合意」
An agreement to entrust the resolution of all or part of a civil dispute — one that has already arisen, or one that may arise in future over a certain legal relationship, whether contractual or not — to one or more arbitrators, and to accept their decision (the arbitral award, 仲裁判断).
Defined inArticle 2, paragraph (1)· applies throughout the law
void
無効
Having no legal effect from the start. A void act does not take effect even if the parties later confirm it; confirming it knowing it is void counts as making a new act (Civil Code, Article 119). An act against public order or good morals is void (Article 90). Some Acts that protect one side make void a term that takes that protection away: a term of a land lease that is worse for the tenant than the Act on Land and Building Leases' rules on how long the lease lasts and how it is renewed (Article 9), a clause of a consumer contract that frees a business from all liability for damage its failure to perform causes the consumer (Consumer Contract Act, Article 8, paragraph (1), item (i)), or the part of a labor contract that falls short of the Labor Standards Act's standards, which the Act's standard replaces (Labor Standards Act, Article 13).
