French term or phrase: renvoi global
Contextes:

"Le principes relevés ci-dessus nous amènes à considérer que si le contrat principal se réfère expressément à la clause arbitrale contenue dans les conditions générales il n'y a aucune difficulté (on parle de renvoi spécifique). En revanche, le **renvoi global** est plus problématique."

"Une mention expresse et immanquable sur le site internet pourra être admissible même si un renvoi spécifique dans le contrat principal est plus souhaitable. En revanche, un **renvoi global** aux condtions génerales ne suffira pas à notre sens."

Merci,

global reference


Explanation:
global as opposed to specific
reference appears repeatedly as a translation for renvoi in legal terms
From the context above it sounds like it is insufficient to make a "global reference" to the general conditions, but rather you must make reference to specific passages of the general conditions.

a general referral to


Explanation:
The clause does not perhaps make reference to (it doesn't quote anything) but refers you to laws etc

eg "See curent consumer laws" for me can not be a reference but is a referral to'

neutral  cc in nyc: Really? Looks like a reference to consumer laws to me. But I would say that a friend gave me a referral to a good lawyer.
