"By using or visiting the Services, you agree that the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to principles of conflict of laws and regardless of your location, will govern these Terms and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Tabnine. Any claim or dispute between you and Tabnine that arises in whole or in part from your use of the Services shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Tel-Aviv, Israel, to the exclusion of any other courts, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-convenient with respect to venue and jurisdiction in the courts of Tel-Aviv, Israel.Excerpt from Tabnine's Terms of Use
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: EU Regulation 1215/2012 (Brussels I Recast) and the Rome I Regulation on governing law may limit the enforceability of exclusive non-EU jurisdiction and governing law clauses against EU consumers. UK post-Brexit rules similarly protect UK consumers from being bound to non-UK jurisdiction clauses in consumer contracts. The FTC and state consumer protection statutes may be relevant in the US context. GDPR supervisory authority jurisdiction is not displaced by this clause for EU data subjects. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. For enterprise customers with global user bases, this clause means that any contractual dispute with Tabnine would nominally require engagement with Israeli courts and Israeli law, creating geographic and legal complexity. For EU-based individual users, national courts may decline to enforce this clause. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU member states under consumer contract protection rules may not give effect to this exclusive jurisdiction clause for individual consumers. UK users have analogous protections under domestic consumer law. US users in states with mandatory venue statutes may have additional arguments against enforcement. Israeli jurisdiction is operationally straightforward for Tabnine as the agreement party. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise procurement teams negotiating with Tabnine should consider whether to seek a governing law and jurisdiction amendment in their enterprise agreement, as this clause in the standard Terms defaults to Israeli law and Tel Aviv jurisdiction for all disputes. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams in EU and UK organizations should assess whether this clause is consistent with their third-party vendor governance policies and whether separate enterprise contract terms supersede this provision.
