"These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Together AI agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California for any disputes not subject to arbitration.— Excerpt from Together AI's Together AI Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Forum selection and choice-of-law clauses are generally enforceable in commercial contracts but may face challenges in consumer contracts where they impose significant hardship. Some states have statutes protecting consumers from out-of-state forum selection clauses. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low to Medium. The governing law and forum selection provisions are standard for California-headquartered technology companies and are generally enforceable in B2B contexts. Consumer enforceability may vary by state. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Courts in some states have declined to enforce forum selection clauses in consumer contracts where the designated forum is unreasonably burdensome. EU consumer protection law generally entitles EU consumers to bring claims in their home jurisdiction regardless of contractual forum selection. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers outside California should note the San Francisco forum requirement and assess whether their standard vendor agreements require local jurisdiction or governing law provisions. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Organizations operating in multiple jurisdictions should assess whether California law provides adequate consumer protection coverage for their user populations or whether additional local law considerations apply.
