Naming it in a contract

A contract usually names the body of law its words are read under. That line is the governing-law clause. It is commonly one sentence, near the end.

Where a dispute would be heard is a separate question. It is usually a clause of its own, and the two are decided separately. Some papers name more than one place, in different clauses.

The place is printed exactly as the picker names it. Here that is “British Virgin Islands”. Nothing on this page is an opinion about what any law requires.

What the door does with it

At the door you describe the deal in one sentence. Governing law sits beside the field as a chip. Press the chip and the picker opens.

British Virgin Islands is under Latin America and the Caribbean in the picker. Typing part of the name finds it. Pick it and the chip says British Virgin Islands. The paper prints the same name in its governing-law clause.
