This clause requires users outside New York to bring any legal claims in New York courts, which may be impractical for individual users and may conflict with mandatory local consumer protection laws in the EU, UK, and other jurisdictions.
Interpretive note: Enforceability of the New York forum selection clause against consumers in EU, UK, and certain US states depends on mandatory consumer protection law in those jurisdictions, which may override the contractual choice.
Changed governing law from New York to Delaware and changed exclusive jurisdiction from 'state and federal courts' to only 'courts,' potentially limiting available venues for dispute resolution.

"These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York.— Excerpt from Tabnine's Tabnine Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Under EU Regulation 1215/2012 (Brussels I Recast), consumers habitually resident in EU member states generally retain the right to bring proceedings in their home jurisdiction regardless of contractual forum selection. UK private international law provides similar protections post-Brexit. The Rome I Regulation similarly preserves mandatory consumer protections in the consumer's habitual residence jurisdiction, limiting the practical effect of a New York choice-of-law clause against EU/UK consumers. Relevant authorities include national courts and consumer protection bodies in EU member states and the UK. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. For EU and UK consumer-facing deployments, the governing law clause may have limited enforceability against individual consumers due to mandatory law override. For business-to-business contexts, New York law and forum selection is generally enforceable. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA and UK users have heightened exposure in that the contractual forum and law selection may not effectively eliminate home-jurisdiction claims. California residents may retain rights under California consumer protection law regardless of contractual choice-of-law provisions, depending on the nature of the claim. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: B2B procurement teams outside the US should evaluate whether accepting New York jurisdiction is operationally viable and whether local law considerations in their jurisdiction require modification of this clause. Organizations subject to GDPR should confirm that cross-border data processing and dispute resolution arrangements are consistent with Chapter V GDPR transfer requirements where applicable. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: EU and UK legal teams should document their assessment of mandatory consumer law override provisions. Non-US enterprise customers should evaluate whether local mandatory law requirements necessitate amendments to the standard governing law clause before deployment.
