Can we remove or change the clause that gives exclusive jurisdiction to the courts of Alameda County, California?
We understand that you’d prefer to conduct any litigation under this contract on your home turf, but we hope you’ll understand that we would too, for the very same reasons. We’d like to mention two mitigating factors: Number one, our local courts are very familiar with software-industry issues, since there are a great many software firms in Alameda County; we’re confident that any legal action would get a fair shake here. Number two, we have never had any sort of litigation with any of our customers.
