[Fredslist] Need help with wording on contract with Indian Vendor

[RitaSue Siegel]

2. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Indian and US laws and the parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Indian courts.

We are using a firm in India to do research for our firm.  We have used other Indian vendors in the past but were never confronted with a paragraph such as #2 above.  Of course we will not consider submitting to the "non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Indian courts," whatever that means, but we do not have a substitute to suggest. The vendor is sympathetic and waiting for our suggestion for a substitute for this paragraph.

Is there anyone in Gotham who can help?

Thanks in advance,

RS
