Where the parties have agreed to conciliate and have expressly undertaken not to initiate during a specified period of time or until a specified event has occurred arbitral or judicial proceedings with respect to an existing or future dispute, such an undertaking shall be given effect by the arbitral tribunal or the court until the terms of the undertaking have been complied with, except to the extent necessary for a party, in its opinion, to preserve its rights. Initiation of such proceedings is not of itself to be regarded as a waiver of the agreement to conciliate or as a termination of the conciliation proceedings.
当事人同意调解并明确承诺在一段特定时期内或在某一特定事件发生以前，不就现有或未来的争议提起仲裁或司法程序的，仲裁庭或法院应当承认这种承诺的效力，直至所承诺的条件实现为止，但一方当事人认为是维护其权利而需要提起的除外，提起这种程序本身并不被视为对调解协议的放弃或调解程序的终止。
