Q&A

Question: What jurisdiction should I include in Sales Terms and Conditions if my business is online?

Answer:

You should include in your Sales Terms and Conditions that users will submit to the jurisdiction of your state. You should also set out that the governing law is the governing law of Australia and your particular state. By setting this out, if a dispute makes it to court it will be dealt with by the appropriate court in your state or territory, making it easier for you to respond to.
