RE: question about Governing Law

["Richman, Carol" <Carol.Richman@sagepub.com>]

I'll relay what I told Angi in private yesterday.  The ommission of a
jurisdiction clause could be harmful for both parties (legal
responsibilities, costs, etc.)  If both parties can agree on removing the
clause, then they must add a very strict arbitration clause, which would
outline where arbitration would take place, who would bear the costs, etc.  
It is much more effective for both parties to maintain the jurisdiction
clause.

Subject: question about Governing Law

Hello all,

I have never had any trouble changing governing law on a license.  I do
howevery have a new vendor that offered to strike the entire governing law
clause on a license, but will not change it to my home state.  What
happens if you strike the entire governing law clause? Should I push
harder to have it changed to Minnesota?  Many thanks, Angi
