What is Jurisdiction?
Risk: Medium. Especially problematic if jurisdiction is far from where you live.
Definition
Specifies which courts have authority to hear disputes. If a contract sets jurisdiction to a state you don't live in, you may have to travel and hire local counsel to litigate any dispute, a significant practical disadvantage.
