Choice Of Forum Clause Definition

noun
A provision in a contract in which the parties stipulate that any lawsuit between them arising from the contract shall be litigated before a particular court or in a particular jurisdiction. Because the parties cannot confer jurisdiction upon a court, they must select a court and place that would otherwise have jurisdiction; however, since more than one court may have jurisdiction, the parties opt to designate in advance which one they choose.
Webster's New World Law

A provision in a contract in which the parties stipulate that any arbitration or conciliation between them arising from the contract shall be held before a particular arbitrator or conciliator or group of arbitrators or conciliators or at a particular place.
