7È questa dunque una tipica ipotesi di " arbitraggio " nella quale il terzo ha, per comune volontà delle parti, il compito di determinare un elemento del contratto. Per questa figura e la sua distinzione dal vero e proprio arbitrato, si vedano, per tutti: FAZZALARI, Arbitrato (Teoria generale e diritto processuale civile), in Digesto comm., Torino, 1986, p. 405; e, con riferimento sistematico alla giurisprudenza in materia: CECCHELLA, L'arbitrato, Torino, 1991, spec. p. 55 s.

11SGA, art. 8: "(1) The price in a contract of sale may be fixed by the contract, or may be left to be fixed in a manner agreed by the contract, or may be determined to by the course of dealing between the Parties. (2) Where the price is not determined as mentioned in subsection (1) above the buyer must pay a reasonable price. (3) What is a reasonable price is a question of fact dependent an the circumstances of each particular case." .

12UCC, par. 2-305, Open price term: «(1) The parties if they so intend can conclude a contract for sale even though the price is not settled. In such a case the price is a reasonable price at the time of delivery if (a) nothing is said as to the price; or (b) the price is left to be agreed by the parties and they fail to agree; or (c) the price is to be fixed in terms of some agreed market or other standard as set or recorded by a third person or agency and is not so set or recorded. (2) A price to be fixed by the seller or by the buyer means a price for him to fix in good faith. (3) When a price left to be fixed otherwise than by agreement of the parties fails to be fixed through fault of one party the other may at his option treat the contract as cancelled or himself fix a reasonable price. (4) Where, however, the parties intend not to be bound unless the price be fixed or agreed and it is not fixed or agreed there is no contract. In such a case the buyer must return any goods already received or if unable to do so must pay their reasonable value at the time of delivery and the seller must return any portion of the price paid an account. ».
