Michael Requests:
Section 19.2: Suggested wording change: "This Agreement shall be goverened by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Alberta to the non-exclusive jurisdictions of whose courts the parties hereto submit. Any claims or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration in a venue agreed to by both parties." With apologies to our own general counsel, Michael Shapiro, jurisdiction is a point that lawyers can argue for days. Our desire as a not-for-profit consortium is to keep all of our agreements as standard as possible. This means that we can then administer them in a managable way, and keep the costs of making the library available under control. jt |
