"These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any dispute not subject to arbitration will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.— Excerpt from Rumble's Rumble Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Forum selection clauses in consumer contracts may be subject to challenge under applicable consumer protection law in jurisdictions that prohibit or limit the enforceability of distant forum requirements against consumers. The EU Brussels Regulation provides that consumer disputes must generally be litigated in the consumer's country of domicile, which may make the Florida forum selection clause unenforceable against EU consumers. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. Florida forum selection is a standard practice for US-based platforms, but the clause's interaction with EU jurisdiction rules and the practical burden on non-Florida users warrants compliance review. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU consumers may not be bound by the Florida forum selection clause under EU jurisdiction rules. California and other US state consumers may challenge distant forum requirements under applicable consumer protection statutes. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Commercial partners and advertisers should assess whether the Florida governing law and forum selection clause applies to their commercial agreements with Rumble or only to user-facing terms. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should assess whether the governing law and forum selection clause is enforceable in key user markets, particularly the EU, and whether separate dispute resolution terms are required for non-US users.
