What it is

All legal disputes with AI21 must be handled under Delaware law in Delaware courts, regardless of where you are located.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are outside the United States — particularly in the EU or UK — this governing law clause may be unenforceable, and you may have the right to bring claims under your local law and in your local courts despite what the Terms say.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Requiring disputes to be litigated in Delaware courts under Delaware law creates a significant practical barrier for non-U.S. users and may be unenforceable for EU and UK consumers who have mandatory rights to litigate in their home jurisdiction.

View original clause language
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: EU consumer protection law (Brussels I Regulation Recast, Rome I Regulation Art. 6) mandates that consumers can sue in their home country and that mandatory consumer protection rules of their home country apply, overriding choice of law clauses. UK law similarly protects consumers post-Brexit under retained EU law principles. For B2B disputes, Delaware choice of law is standard and generally enforceable in U.S. courts. (2)
