Law and Jurisdiction Clause (Short Form) (B2C)

This Law and Jurisdiction clause is designed for use in Business to Consumer contracts. Unlike the B2B law and jurisdiction clauses (short form and long form), jurisdiction (i.e., courts) vary according to the consumer’s place of residence. Instead of being limited to the courts of England and Wales, the jurisdiction may also be the courts where the consumer lives. This is because a consumer can usually bring proceedings in the courts where they live and be sued only in those courts, and a jurisdiction clause agreed before a dispute arises cannot normally take this away.

Optional text is enclosed in square brackets. These should be read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused options should be removed from the document.
