Yes, it is possible and it is possible to agree that arbitration is an alternative to the courts in the event that a dispute arises between the partners.

But we do not advise anyone to waive the condition of litigation in the event of any dispute in the future because it is considered a waste of rights.

The agreement is valid, but this condition is not valid. The right to litigation is guaranteed to everyone.
