French term or phrase: "Le recours éventuel au Tribunal Fédéral étant réservé."
"A défaut de conciliation, les tribunaux ordinaires de Genève seront seuls compétents, le recours éventuel au Tribunal Fédéral étant réservé."

It's the "étant réservé" bit that I'm not 100% sure about.

without prejudice however to any rights of appeal to the Federal Tribunal, which are hereby reserved
Explanation:
Since the first part of the sentence says that, failing conciliation, the ordinary courts of Geneva shall have exclusive jurisdiction, I imagine that the author(s) deemed useful to specify that this choice-of-jurisdiction clause applies in the first instance, and should not be taken as precluding any appeal from the judgment in the first instance, in accordance with Swiss procedural law.
