"These Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to the principles of conflicts of law. You hereby expressly agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco, California, for the purpose of resolving any dispute relating to your access to or use of the Service.Excerpt from OneLogin's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Forum selection clauses specifying California courts are generally enforceable in U.S. commercial contracts. However, for EU-based users, mandatory forum selection clauses designating non-EU courts may require evaluation under EU consumer protection law and applicable jurisdictional rules, including the Brussels I Regulation (Recast) for commercial disputes. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The exclusive jurisdiction clause in San Francisco is standard for California-incorporated technology companies. The absence of a mandatory arbitration clause or class action waiver is notable, as it preserves users' access to court proceedings. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Non-U.S. organizations, particularly those in the EU, should assess whether the San Francisco exclusive jurisdiction clause is enforceable against them under applicable local law and whether local courts may have concurrent or exclusive jurisdiction over certain disputes. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams contracting from outside California should document the forum selection clause and assess its practical implications for dispute resolution costs and logistics. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams for non-California entities should evaluate whether the governing law and forum selection clause is consistent with their organization's standard contractual requirements and whether local law creates mandatory jurisdiction that could override the contractual forum selection.
